Something for the weekend – Brett King’s Bank 3.0 is here – see my first thoughts

My copy arrived, courtesy of Amazon during the week. On first look, it maintains the high quality of the original, and is a more detailed think piece than his “Branch Today, Gone Tomorrow” polemic. Of course, in the couple of years since Bank 2.0 was published (May 2010), his ideas have become more mainstream, and social media/mobile/digital relationships can no longer be ignored. The investment required is less the cash (£13.99 on Amazon) than the time to properly read & think through his analysis. Let’s hope Sir David Walker has bought a stack & is giving them out to his new Barclays board nominees.
