We learnt to implement changes faster, improve our processes and products faster, making them more convenient and time-saving for our clients. Yet we have a long way to go in perfecting client experience, introducing new services to the Sberbank platform and developing new skills among our team in order to build a data-driven company with a high level of collaboration.
