A consistent theme keeps popping up as I discuss social media innovations with bankers these days. It is increasingly frustrating for innovators who want to use mobile, social media, the web and other such tools to get these past hyper-risk-adverse compliance specialists. It seems as if many of the banker's I'm meeting are saying that the favorite...

This is a question I am thinking of for some period now. Innovation in payments is made for the customer... most at least! But it is all going so fast, that I wonder how long the Industry will be able to make profits out of it. Of course, as in many topics I am just a newbie asking himself some dull questions from time to time. But last week Chris ...

I attended a conference last week, in Berlin. (where else would I be?) It was a multi-industry event sponsored by SAS, the Premier Business Leadership Series (basically it was their client conference). Before I delve into the banking stream, the first half of the conference focused on big issue, global economy and business leader issues. It was wit...

In my recent blog on branches I got some reader feedback that leads me to believe that some have interpreted my positive slant on the effectiveness of direct channels as evidence that I am 'against' branches. This is not the case. However, I do think that branch networks are currently in a precarious situation and bank's might find themselves sadd...

It’s simple. Winning a race means “getting there first”. The same rule applies to banking, with a small corollary, which is that the most agile (and not necessarily the fastest) usually wins. Is there a difference? You bet! Agility is not pure speed; nimbleness and flexibility play a large part in it. Agility is more “how far” than “how fast”. An ...

In my recent blog posts, ‘Lessons learned from the economic downturn’ and ‘What does it mean to be a ’Well Managed’ bank?’, you may recall that we have been following the exploits of my 14-year old son as he attempts to find the right bank to open his first bank account. How hard can it really be? If you read my most recent post, you can see that...

I’ve spent the better part of the last three months meeting and talking to some of the best and brightest bankers in Australia, Asia, UK and the USA and what I’ve learned is fairly predictable, and just a little disappointing. Direct banking (mostly Internet and Mobile) is going off everywhere I go, but most banks are still saddled with an unhealt...

I met Friday with Mike Hirst, CEO of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, one of the top banks in Australia today. As we discussed the need for community banks to get better at servicing SME business needs moving forward, we had a really interesting brainstorming session on where to go next. Mike is an easy going guy and I think he's created a really posi

I have a bit of a soft spot for technology. So I was interested to find out more recently about some of the smart technology that is behind the eye catching video advertising screens that are popping up around train stations and our department stores. Under the catchy umbrella term of digital signage, these screens are becoming increasingly sophi

As the new UK coalition government struggles to get the economy under control, and others across Europe continue to brace themselves for the uncertain times ahead, the question of how to prevent a similar financial crisis occurring again in the future is at the top of the agenda for all stakeholders - both from the political groups and financial s...
