FORUMx PRESENTERS
The Forum 2015 will feature it's own version of TEDx — short,
high-level strategic presentations from notable experts and thought
leaders focused on what financial industry executives need to do
to prepare themselves and their institutions for the future.
Disruptors, Differentiators
& Disappearing
Branch Revenues
Brett King, CEO/Founder of Moven
Futurist and best-selling author Brett King has been
studying the impact of technology and behavior disruption
on banking for over two decades since the commercial
Internet emerged. In the research for his next book
Augmented (due out Summer of 2015), King discovered
some amazing parallels in technology disruptions that
have occurred over the last 250 years, and what this
pattern of disruption means next for the way
banking works. The end result is that we
can now predict how consumers will react
to market forces — declining branch
activity and the examples provided by
disruptors like Moven, Simple, Lending
Club and others — with devastating
ramifications for branch networks.
Financial institutions that think that
their advice, products or “stores” are
differentiators had better get ready to
question their very existence.
Brett King is one of the most
progressive innovators in banking.
Finding Your
Banking Mojo
Tim Russell, Head of Cultural
Development at Nintendo
Tim championed leadership
development programs for Starbucks,
Microsoft and now Nintendo. Tim will
teach you the culture-building
principles he’s used at Fortune 500
companies to grow your organization.
Passion and
Purpose in Banking
Mark Zmarzly, CEO of Hip Pocket
This talk will explore how existing
players in the banking industry
identify unmet consumer
needs, reinvent their
products, and
reimagine their
business model
in new and
dramatic ways.
Mark Zmarzly is a regular
speaker at TEDx events.
