About the value stream and SI#7
Corporate & Cash Management is the value stream that caters to our corporate customers. Our primary digital channels are the corporate internet bank and the corporate app, and that’s where most of our UX efforts in the value stream are concentrated. The value stream consists of four cross functional agile teams. Employees are located both in Sweden and the Baltics. All teams have at least some of their employees at our headquarters in Sundbyberg.
Strategic Initiative no 7 (a.k.a. SI#7) is an initiative run partly within the Corporate value stream. The overall aim of SI#7 is to improve digital self-service capabilities and enhance the cash management offering to increase corporate customer satisfaction and stay relevant for our corporate customers and attract new house bank clients. SI#7 is run together with a third-party supplier and a substantial number of the people involved in SI#7 will be employees of this third party. This goes for designers as well. SI#7 is, as the name implies, strategically very important for Swedbank and it’s a large undertaking.
