In June, Arise and Zanaco announced the winners of the Arise Zanaco Innovation Challenge, with the strongest ideas now moving into implementation.
Focused on revenue growth, cost efficiency, digital transformation, SME growth and customer experience, the challenge attracted 47 teams from across the bank. Finalists received mentoring before presenting solutions designed to improve performance and support growth.
The winning in house travel solution was selected for its potential to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
“This challenge has delivered more than ideas. It has built capability, strengthened collaboration and contributed directly to Zanaco’s bottom line. We value Arise’s partnership in helping us link innovation, talent development and shareholder value in a practical way,” said Mukwandi Chibesakunda, CEO of Zanaco.
For Arise, the challenge demonstrates how innovation can be translated into practical outcomes that strengthen institutions and create value.
