CASE STUDY
Portfolio Management — Scaled Up Product Development in DNB
How the Norwegian bank DNB combines product development in small, agile, and autonomous teams while at the same time aligning thousands of developers to the group strategy goals.
- 01Portfolio management
- 02Agile development
- 03Autonomous teams
- 04Strategy alignment across the group
In this session, I’ll explore the critical role of being the bridge between product and technology, where true product development excellence happens. Drawing on my experience in transformation, including agile transformation and large-scale delivery, I’ll share how connecting vision with execution, and people with purpose leads to better collaboration, stronger outcomes, and more impactful products — the cornerstone of product and agile excellence.
CASE STUDY
Customer-Centric Approach in Banking Production Development
In today’s fast-paced digital banking landscape, I argue that success is often defined by the ability to move very swiftly and adapt seamlessly, even without extreme innovation. Speed and agility are no longer just competitive advantages — they are necessities for thriving in an era of rapid technological disruption. From retail banking through trading to enterprise transformations, the ability to harness cutting-edge innovation while staying resilient and fast is what separates leaders in the industry.
- 01Speed as a Competitive Advantage
- 02The “Fail Fast, Improve Faster” Mindset
- 03Agility Over Complexity
- 04Case Studies: Being faster
- 05Breaking Internal Barriers to Speed
Pre-Start Phase:
1.Patient Safety Review:
- Assess patient demographics, drug specifics, AE (Adverse Event) incidence rates, available resources, and programme design fundamentals
- Integrate multifaceted support resources, including call centres, educational materials, and digital tools
2.Contracting Essentials:
- Determine the need for standalone PVAs (Pharmacovigilance Agreements) or safety clauses

CASE STUDY
Build Better Banking Experiences: What We Learned From Pioneering an In-House Neuromarketing Lab at Kuveyt Türk
As digital products evolve, understanding customer needs beyond what they say becomes critical. At Kuveyt Türk, we established an in-house neuromarketing lab — a pioneering initiative in the banking sector — to explore unconscious user responses. Using techniques like EEG, eye tracking, and facial coding, we measure real-time emotional and cognitive reactions to digital interfaces, campaigns, and service flows.
In this talk, I will share our lab’s methodology, lessons learned, and how neuro-driven insights help us design better experiences across channels.

- 01Why traditional UX research is not enough to capture real user behaviour
- 02How neuromarketing methods help us uncover unconscious responses
- 03Real case studies from mobile banking and digital onboarding
- 04Our in-house lab setup and agile operating model
- 05Key learnings and product improvements driven by neuro insights
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses must innovate to stay ahead. AI is no longer just an advantage — it’s a necessity for optimising operations, enhancing decision-making, and driving growth. This presentation explores how AI transforms business operations through:
