How to find the right balance between the traditional model of a company and empowering the employees? How to break the silos without compromising the security in a platform for capital markets?

In this #LeadershipDeepDive episode, Michał Paprocki, CTO of Euroclear, talks with Hendrik Deckers about challenges of #DigitalTransformation in a highly sensitive Finance sector. “We are the Facebook of capital markets”, Michał says and explains how Euroclear is evolving from a traditional model to agile company with strong relationship between technology and business.

Michał shares his view on Automation:

✅ Tools for digital workflow substituting paper implemented in a blink of an eye
✅ RPA processing of unstructured data 
✅ Managing automation and having control of it, and then standardize 
✅ Using creativity, social skills and moral judgment while the data “heavy lifting” is done by technology 
✅ Combination of RPA and AI

Michał also explains his path toward conscious leadership and how Star Wars saga helps him to bring positive energy to the team.
