In today's episode, Brett King starts us off with an interview with Auriga's Mark Aldred about next gen branches. Branches need to continue to adapt -- change their nature and the economics in parallel with offering better mobile and digital engagement. The in-branch journey is more than design, the bank of the future right sizes and incorporates behavior and technology -- inside and outside -- to be smarter and better as banks rethink branch role. Economics are important, listen to Italian bank, Banca Carige, who has lowered operational cost 38%. Customers can have their desired journey, physical and digital, and branches can be brand embassies. We follow with Amber Buker's fast-moving conversation with Robert E. Siegel, Lecturer in Management at Stanford Graduate School of Business about the Industrialist Dilemma. What is the Industrial Dilemma? It all boils down to the need for a mix of both digital and physical products, and how leaders can innovate to combine the two and create a more holistic customer experience. Even digital natives need physical presence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvJTyGSyMAc

Business leaders are continually told they need to embrace digital disruption wholeheartedly to thrive in the 21st Century. Not true! Nothing in life or business is ever that simple. The post 395: How Leading Organizations Blend the Digital and Physical with Robert E. Siegel first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

Siegel shows how to create lasting profits and growth in the smartest way possible: by creating a solid partnership between digital innovation and traditional business operations―in other words, by marrying brains and brawn.

All digital, all the time - that's what we hear among the chattering business classes. My guest begs to differ. Instead, Robert E. Siegel points out, the competitors who will triumph combine both "Brains" (digital, smarts) with "Brawn" (operations and execution). Just one or the other won't cut it. Indeed, incumbents have shown that they can win by leveraging traditional strengths even as they bring on new capabilities. This should be fascinating.
