Bankers are cavemen or cool? #ebaday
I've just attended EBAday for the first time in a few years, and it's an interesting conference.

Amazon vs IBM, Google vs BMW … digital disrupts everything
I’ve not been surprised by disruptions in industries like music, movies, books and travel. All of these things can be digitised and have been.

During the roadshow, they’ve been presenting research in the four countries of focus – Finland, France, Italy and Poland – of how electronic channels and customer relationships are changing. The research…
