The SiriusDecisions B-to-B Buying Decision Process Framework

July 8, 2019

Decisionmaking is a cognitive process defined by psychologists as the selection of a course of action from multiple alternatives (e.g. what to eat, where to shop). John Dewey, the pragmatic philosopher and psychologist, introduced the first decision process framework for consumer buying in his book How We Think, which was published in 1910. Since then, Dewey’s framework has been adapted many times, but the five basic stages of consumer decisions remain the same: problem/need recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision and post-purchase behavior.

The future role of banks

whitePaper | October 6, 2022

Financial services are undergoing a shift today that is changing the face of banking. Gone are the days of monolithic banking, in which products and services are siloed off from each other, and banks manage their own mainframes. The future of banking is digital, and this demands agile, instant and intelligent IT infrastructure. Established banks will no longer be expected to act alone in developing and distributing products. New models like open banking and real-time payments incentivize banks to collaborate with partners, new start-ups and established players within and beyond the financial services industry.
