BANK 2.0 - "How Customer Behavior & Technology is changing Banking forever"

Ten years ago, no one could have predicted that 90 per cent of daily transactions would be electronic, that Internet banking would provide more revenue than branches in most developed markets, that social network conversations would be the primary criteria for whether customers trust a financial institution's brand, and that growth in mobile banking would be the final nail in the coffin for the dominance of branch banking.

In this presentation, Brett King Author of BANK 2.0 will explain:

Why customer behavior is so rapidly changing, including the three phases of disruptive change;

How branches must evolve;

Why cheques are rapidly disappearing and cash is next;

Why your mobile phone will replace your wallet in the next 2-3 years; and

How financial institutions must reinvent themselves or become irrelevant.

BANK 2.0 shows how banks can adapt and thrive in this new environment.

The Big Shift

What happens when the fundamentals shift and everything you understood about the way we do business is flipped upside down! Most of our business models are based on physical interactions, processes that occur face-to-face, and value based on presence - but what happens when the fundamentals of consumer behaviour shift.

If you don't yet understand the Big Shift then it is likely you and those around you still perceive changes like the arrival of the Internet, SmartPhones, Mobile Payments, Social Media and Networking as the progression of technology adoption. But what if there was more, much more to these changes?

What if they formed the basis of something fundamental and when seen collectively they foretold much bigger and more significant changes in the future.

In this exciting keynote presentation Brett King, the author of the recent global bestseller BANK 2.0 will change your view of customer interactions forever.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn about the three phases of behavioural disruption
• How Social Media can empower or shatter your brand ambitions.
• How modality tends towards simplicity through more usable interactions.
• How the adoption rate of new technology innovations is actually speeding up.

Client Ovations: On behalf of my company, FST Media, it is with great pleasure that I endorse Brett King as a competent, engaging and confident professional in his ability to effectively emcee a high-level conference. In September this year, FST Media sought Brett's services to act as Chairman of Asia's inaugural Technology & Innovation - the Future of Banking & Financial Services Conference at Singapore's Grand Copthorne Hotel. Throughout the day, Brett provided the 250-strong delegation of senior financial services executives with well timed and equally well researched insight into the trends and disruptions impacting the industry. His ability to interact with the audience, keynote speakers and guest panellists was consistent, refreshing and non-intimidating. From an operational standpoint, Brett demonstrated a team player approach that evidently put my company's best interests at the fore. I highly recommend Brett without hesitation.

Just wanted to say a big Thank You for your very inspiring sessions in Abu Dhabi. The whole bank is now talking about the imperative to change and face the future.

The examples King brought into the room were captivating. His perspective on the importance of customer behaviour, in particular choice and the control customers want around how they interact, is critical. Financial institutions can not dictate how customers should connect with us. Organisations must instead listen and adapt to customer behaviour.

Brett delivered a Master class for our board, executive and senior management. Brett accomplished more in opening our eyes to the opportunities in multi-channel, social media, mobile engagement and customer experience than I would have ever thought possible in such a short space of time. We are still riding on the buzz from his BANK 2.0 session weeks later. He delivered an extraordinarily insightful session for our team...Truly enthralling!.
