EXCLUSIVE PODCAST
Scaling AI in Financial Services
Most AI efforts don’t fail from lack of ambition; they fail from thinking too small.
In the latest episode of Not Just AI, Pranay Agrawal (Fractal) is joined by Alyson Clarke (Forrester) and Deep Srivastav (Franklin Templeton) to unpack why so many AI initiatives get stuck in pilot mode, and what it takes to drive real enterprise impact.
From rethinking decision-making (not just automating processes) to moving from hundreds of use cases to a few bold transformation bets, the conversation dives into the hard trade-offs, cultural shifts, and new success metrics needed to make AI actually matter.
If you’re still chasing productivity gains, this episode will challenge you to aim for something bigger: lasting competitive advantage.
INSIGHTS
How a US insurer cut call volume and improved service with predictive insights
A leading U.S. insurance company sought to reduce rising call center volumes while improving customer experience. Many customer inquiries were repetitive and predictable, creating unnecessary strain on support operations and increasing costs.
By adopting a predictive, data-driven approach, the company was able to anticipate customer needs and address them proactively. This enabled a shift from reactive support to preventing calls before they happen, while also guiding customers toward more efficient self-service options.
From static credit limits to dynamic risk intelligence
Traditional credit management was designed for a slower, more predictable business environment. Customers were reviewed quarterly, credit limits were set annually, and risk assessment relied heavily on historical financial statements.
That model no longer works.
Today, customer risk evolves continuously. Payment behaviors shift month to month. Disputes increase due to operational friction. Exposure grows rapidly with new sales. Market volatility can impact customer stability almost overnight. Find how Cogentiq Invoice to Cash can solve this for you.
