A recent BCG (2020) study found that 70% of digital transformation projects fall short of expectations due to a lack of strategic clarity and practical implementation plans. The Business Agility Summit 2025 aims to provide a roadmap for Vietnamese leaders and experts to navigate this complex journey, drawing insights from the first digital bank in Southeast Asia, TMRW by UOB.
Hosted by the Agile Academy, Techcombank, and FPT Digital, in collaboration with VCCorp, Biplus, and SAFe Inc., the summit brings together global leaders and practitioners in business agility and Agile transformation. Through their shared expertise and international perspectives, attendees will gain valuable insights into successfully navigating organizational change in the face of technological advancements and a volatile business landscape.
TMRW, Southeast Asia’s first digital bank developed by UOB, made its debut in Thailand in 2019 and instantly made waves, being named “Most Innovative Digital Bank in Asia-Pacific” by Global Finance magazine in its inaugural year.
TMRW is not just a pioneer in digital banking but a revolutionary force in the industry. In its first two years, TMRW garnered over 40 accolades, including “Best Digital Bank in Southeast Asia” for two consecutive years (2020 & 2021) by The Digital Banker. TMRW’s success has become a blueprint for digital banks across the region.
For the first time in Vietnam, we will have the opportunity to hear directly from the architect behind this remarkable journey, Mr. Dennis Khoo, the former Director of TMRW, UOB. As a keynote speaker at the Business Agility Summit 2025, Mr. Khoo will share his insights on building a digital bank from the ground up.
At the summit, Mr. Khoo will delve into the strategic design thinking that went into the TMRW project, challenging traditional models and disrupting conventional mindsets to create Southeast Asia’s first digital bank. His first-hand account will offer attendees a deeper understanding of how to design, build, and operate a successful digital bank while avoiding the pitfalls that have plagued many digital transformation initiatives.
Joining Mr. Khoo at the Business Agility Summit 2025 is a diverse group of leaders and experts in digital and Agile transformation from leading international banks and corporations.
