Sean Tuffy
Strategic Regulatory Advisor Firebrand ResearchMain Day 1 | 16th September
12:10 PM Panel: Building Client-Driven Architectures: How can you best build partnerships with key clients to adapt operational processes that meet Buy Side priorities whilst maintaining Op model standardisation? *Chatham House Rule*
- How do you strike the balance between customising for key client demands and maintaining a scalable, standardised operating model across all clients?
- What governance frameworks or decision-making structures help you prioritise client-driven change requests without fragmenting your architecture?
- To what extent are you moving toward "data-as-a-product" models (e.g. APIs, self-service access), and how is that reshaping the traditional service relationship with buy-side clients?
- Can you share an example where client collaboration directly influenced your operating model or technology roadmap—and what trade-offs were required internally?
12:40 PM Panel Interactive with Audience Q&A: Achieving Cross-Asset Standardisation: How can siloed operational teams develop shared processes and platforms to work towards a more harmonised, standardised operating model?
- Where does cross-asset standardisation drive real value, and where does it risk undermining product expertise?
- Should firms prioritise process standardisation or technology transformation—and what happens if you get the order wrong?
- How do you overcome cultural resistance from asset-class silos to enable a shared operating model?
- Is a truly cross-asset operating model realistic, or will structural and regulatory constraints always limit it?
