DTCC: A Look Ahead
I am delighted to have the opportunity to be speaking to the SIFMA Operations Conference about the world ahead, particularly in a year of such profound change. I'm not sure whether these changes are evolutionary or revolutionary. But, as Darwin tells us, even evolutionary changes can be life-threatening if you're unable to cope with them.

How Do We Know When a Problem is Really a Problem? The Five Critical Questions about Corporate Action Processing
This business of corporate actions is a jumble of communications. Literally hundreds of corporate actions push themselves onto our desks every day, and they come in different formats and different languages … addressing different securities … with different numbering and cross-reference systems.

Learning from Our Brethren: STP and the Experience of Manufacturing Industries
I'd like to talk about STP lessons we can learn from our brethren in manufacturing industries, who faced a similar challenge to increase efficiency and maintain their competitiveness. I'd like to talk about cost and how the returns on STP investments are measured or — in many cases — not measured. I'd like to note how these factors shape our STP approach at DTCC. And I'd like to talk about where we go from here.
