“How could I insulate whatever … I might build from my own greed and hubris?” is a question I’ve never heard and is (so very) worth thinking about.

I love reading specific and honest descriptions of how people do what they do. https://t.co/KJfqEeeE3y

Jim provides excellent food for thought here. The biggest threat to most banks, especially most community banks, is internal. https://t.co/4PphCHlirN

Great. @rands is always so good, and here he is more helpful than even his usual.

THE single worst idea I hear from banks is that being a fast-follower is a good idea. And I hadn’t even considered one of Ron’s points below. Must read.

Megabanks’ patent activity should scare the pants off mid-size banks and credit unions.

"It's cool to get on the computer; don't let the computer get on you. It's cool to *use* the computer; just don't let the computer use you. Y'all saw The Matrix.

There's a war going on - the battlefield is the mind, and the prize is the soul. So... be careful. Be very careful."

Interesting piece that highlights Mike's commentary about the dangers of limiting digital advice to one distribution channel or client segment. https://t.co/tnxudJ5pZm https://t.co/24cmdJY1Z9

Help my colleague @nsturgill out with some examples? https://t.co/AAOKK4G81y

@Ingebretsenphd You taught it to me in 1994. I read my mom’s copy for class, which meant a lot more to me once I’d read it.

@kaitlinmaud @bud_caddell @WorkNOBL I think I’m lining up with @katlinmaud. Even teams that work together well, but are distant from the goals and norms of the larger org, can cause themselves problems over time.

@rshevlin Is it you? I’ll bet it’s you.

[John Fishback @JTF_FFC]

@rshevlin So, that’s a really interesting point. Of course you’re right that it’s huge, in terms of number of customers and reach. But it’s also dwarfed by current players- and the bank marketplace is now being shaped by that size imbalance. Would love to hear more from you on this.
