CHRIS SKINNER - Speaking Topics
​

The Bank of 2020
Banks need to focus upon two numbers: one and 2020.
The bank of 2020 will also be the Bank of One. One person has always had the power to change the world – but in a highly social, highly networked world, that one person no longer needs to be a President or a Nobel Laureate. By way of example, Molly Katchpole was just a 22-year old college graduate working two jobs when Bank of America announced that they would introduce a $5 monthly fee on debit cards. She started an online protest that resulted in hundreds of thousands of people joining her within days. Result: the bank had to perform a policy U-turn. Molly is an example of one person taking a stand through social media, and changing the policy at one of America’s largest banks. In this presentation Chris will:
  • Shine the light on social media and how it is changing banking
  • How the bank of 2020 will look

Why Banking will Disappear But banks will not ... well, not all of them
Over the next decade, a radical shift will take place in the role and function of banking. It's already started and it's all about BIG DATA. But it's more than that. It's to do with the value shift in society from seeing money to seeing virtual money; from seeing technology to seeing social technology; and from seeing government to seeing self-governance. These shifts have been seeded in smartphones, social networks and the global linkage of every person on the planet to wireless media, and this shift will accelerate over the next decade. What this means for banks is that they will become hybrid keepers of money and data, and anything else their customers believe to be of value. They might even be keepers of cloud secure Facebook photo albums ... why not? Chris will explore:
  • The impact of the key political, economic, social and technological forces of the next decade
  • Bring together these themes and outline the vision for the bank of 2021.

Branchless Banking and a Cashless Society Fact or Fiction?
For years, banks and industry pundits have bet that cash and bank branches will disappear, yet they are still as strong as ever. Sure, cash and branches are reducing in number, but cash in circulation is still increasing as are the number of bank branches in some countries. Chris will explore:
  • Is a branchless, cashless future a reality or a myth?
  • What this means for banking
​
The Next Major Financial Crisis Will Happen in 2045
Regulators have a problem. The problem is that they are always following, never leading. Right now, they are shaping a new financial market that should be robust for decades to come. Yet based upon historical extrapolation, the likelihood is that the next global financial crisis will occur around 2045, thirty-three years from now. Chris Skinner, a leading commentator on global financial markets, will explain:
  • What is going to happen? And How?
  • Why is this the likely outcome and where will the issues occur?

The Similarities between Banks and Landmines - Banks are Like Landmines
They explode in economic terms, in a similar way in which landmines explode and blow away people in the real world. Just as landmines blow the legs away from humans, banks blow the legs off economies. It’s obviously the case that this is true today, what with the Lehmans collapse with Credit Default Swaps creating the first financial crisis; and now sovereign debt in the Eurozone is developing the second. Chris will explore:
  • How can such economic landmines exist in a world where we should have cleared them by now
  • How can we avoid them in the future?

Bespoke Presentation
  • Mr. Skinner is often asked to make specific commentary about a market area or company, which involves researching the markets to gain specific insights into that market area or company.
  • These bespoke presentations involve considerably more effort than general presentations.
  • The fees for these presentations are determined on a client-by-client basis, and are quoted based upon the complexity of the subject and the length of the presentation required.
  • Please provide a detailed definition of your presentation requirement if you would like us to provide quotation for Mr. Skinner’s involvement.

Advisory Services
Mr. Skinner is often requested to provide advice to firms on their business strategies, marketing plans or sales campaigns. This often takes the form of coaching and counseling services around a wide variety of themes, including:
  • scenario planning for future states
  • development of finely tuned value propositions
  • the structure and segmentation of markets
  • analysis of targeted clients or markets
  • and many other related services.
A typical engagement for example, may be to provide an in-depth market analysis for a firm’s new product launch, including targeted markets and geographies, competitor overviews, SWOT analysis, recommended marketing budgets and resources, sales campaign life cycles and so on.
 
Mr. Skinner is known to be an exceptional speaker which is why he is regularly requested to keynote at many of the financial market’s most prestigious events.  He also regularly opens as keynote at many private industry events. His keynote addresses focus upon the key current trends and future scenarios for all areas of financial services, across retail and investment markets and payments.
