At-risk Skills
Verify the supporting documents and profitability reports of financial products This task is largely based on reviewing and validating documents according to specific criteria. Automated systems, especially those based on AI, are already capable of processing large volumes of data, identifying trends, extracting specific information, and comparing it to defined criteria
Create a client follow-up folder Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software are becoming more sophisticated, with many already incorporating AI functions to automate tracking, updating, and notifying of changes in files. Moreover, with the advent of blockchain and other technologies, there could be a revolution in the way files and transactions are tracked, making this skill less relevant in the future.
Future-proof Skills
Establish a client's asset balance sheet This skill requires a deep and personalized understanding of an individual's financial situation, as well as expertise in tax regulation, investment, and financial planning. Each client has a unique situation, and understanding these nuances to provide appropriate advice is essential.
Anticipation of legislative changes and strategic advice This skill enables the advisor to offer proactive strategic advice, helping clients navigate a constantly evolving financial landscape and optimize their investment decisions based on enlightened forecasts. This ability to anticipate and advise cannot be easily automated, as it requires nuanced analysis, critical thinking, and a deep understanding of the financial and legislative complexities.
