If you are in the IT business industry, you must read the book Bank 3.0: Why Banking Is No Longer Somewhere You Go But Something You Do by Brett King. The author has a great perspective on the future of banking and how technology is the key differentiation for the new banks.
Below are a few points from his book:
We came from check book to debit card, from debit card to mobile phone… the opportunity is to do something drastically different.
The inercia problem: We do this way because we have been doing like this for the past X years.
Banks will be the IT companies of the future.
Banks will have to have a high end technology competency.
People will primary select a bank based on their technology competency layer.
If you don’t have a strong technology company, you are screwed!
