A question that comes up regularly is should the bank evolve to a new digital model, or does it need to bite the bullet and transform? Evolution or revolution? That’s a question that only the bank’s CEO and management team can answer, and needs to consider: the current state of the bank; its ability to…
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. Music has been disrupted three times: first illegal downloads with Napster; then with legal downloads through iTunes; and now who needs downloads when you can stream with Spotify (which is why…
