Chances of 2 people in 70 having same birthday? Managing Risk in Banking and Financial Services. Why the greatest risks are combinations of very unlikely events, which happen far more often than you expect. Keynote speaker on risk management

Dr Patrick Dixon, YouTube Futurist Keynote Speaker - Recent Futurist YouTube Videos - Keynote Speaker

I often give keynotes to global companies on risk management.

Co-incidental risks are where multiple events all happening at the same time.

Risks can therefore be far higher than you think.  

The primary reason is that in a hyper-connected world, small risks can be related to other risks, which can trigger further risks.

Compliance is Dead. How to build trust. Reputation of banks and financial services. Compliance Risks. Why 100% compliance with regulations, ESG requirements etc is often not enough to prevent reputational damage

Dr Patrick Dixon, YouTube Futurist Keynote Speaker - Recent Futurist YouTube Videos - Keynote Speaker

Why compliance is dead as a survival strategy for corporations including banks and financial services.  Compliance really matters. However, as many bankers discovered, compliance with every law may keep you out of prison but cannot protect your brand or reputation, or build trust.

You can comply perfectly with every regulation in every country in every year, but that will not help you when public mood changes. A scandal happens, which is followed by a public reaction, which leads to new regulations. These are interpreted by lawyers, who try to work out what it means. And then your compliance teams turn it into another box-ticking exercise...so what should companies do now?

3 seconds is all it takes to convert a happy customer to a frustrated one. 3 seconds delay is enough for someone to abandon a purchase online. 20 seconds is enough to lose a major customer who is waiting for your call centre to pick up. Every second matters - for every person who wants to buy from you.

Trust is the Most Important Thing You Sell. Managing your Reputational Risk - vital lessons for all leaders. How to build trust with key customers and markets. Futurist Keynote Speaker

Dr Patrick Dixon, YouTube Futurist Keynote Speaker - Recent Futurist YouTube Videos - Keynote Speaker

Trust is the most important thing you sell - if you are a bank, insurance company, health company, holiday company, retailer, construction company or health provider. That's why reputational risk is such a major issue. Trust takes decades to build and can be lost in a moment. 

Those in companies promoting products need to be really careful that they act with complete integrity in every claim they make, and treat customers as the would expect to be treated themselves. And when things go wrong, the best way to manage reputational risk is to disclose early, apologise rapidly, take big steps to prevent it happening again, and be generous in dealings with those who have been adversely affected.

Why you HAVE to MEET to close deals. Want to make change happen and innovate? Get your teams into the office. Sales beyond COVID. Marketing keynote speaker - 1100 people

Dr Patrick Dixon, YouTube Futurist Keynote Speaker - Recent Futurist YouTube Videos - Keynote Speaker

Why breathing same air is mission-critical to growing your business.

Why it is impossible to land big deals with people you have never met, and why virtual working cannot deliver major contracts.

Face to face meetings with team members also really matter. Even Apple discovered that while they could manage just fine, working virtually - they were unable to THINK, INNOVATE or CHANGE.

But if you can't think, innovate or change, it's the end of your business.   Sales and Marketing keynote speaker - Patrick Dixon

London is booming, as are other capital cities in some other nations - hotels are reporting their busiest bookings for corporate events, company conferences, workshops, seminars and client meetings since before COVID lockdown began in March 2020.  (Written on 15th September 2021 - after giving a keynote at a physical client event).

Expect large numbers of last-minute events to be organised, taking advantage of what may become narrow windows of opportunity.

Companies are realising that while many managed fine during lockdown, using virtual tools, they have been unable to innovate, think, change.

Most importantly of all it is almost impossible to land major contracts with people you have never met. Trust is everything.

Life Beyond COVID. Virtual Event Futurist Keynote Speaker.High audience engagement on COVID. Patrick Dixon is one of the world's leading keynote speakers on health care

Dr Patrick Dixon, YouTube Futurist Keynote Speaker - Recent Futurist YouTube Videos - Keynote Speaker

Virtual keynote by Futurist / Physician Dr Patrick Dixon. Impact of COVID-19 on longer term trends, government policy and debt, economic growth, life-expectancy forecasts, medical research and investment strategies. Since 85% of humanity lives in emerging markets, mostly in nations with limited health infrastructure, the likely speed of Coronavirus transmission in such countries is critically important to understand. How COVID-19 will accelerate many existing mega trends, boosting profits for a wide range of businesses, while destroying others. Which countries and industry sectors are likely to recover first from Coronavirus pandemic and why. Longer term impact of Coronavirus on consumer behaviour and wider society. Surviving the Coronavirus Chaos - longer term impact of COVID-19. Despite the overwhelming health care crisis in many nations caused by Coronavirus, many global trends will change less than many expect. The Coronavirus pandemic will divide the world into three groups. 1. Emerging markets (high population growth, young demographics, very limited health care, rapid growth and resolution of pandemic). 2. Developed nations (low population growth, ageing populations, highly developed health care, intermittent health crises with extended lock-downs and disruptions). 3. Hybrid nations eg China (emerging market, ageing population, intermittent lock-downs and disruptions). How will this divergency impact multinationals, global trade and longer term economic growth?

Future of Cars: auto industry trends. Future of Robot drivers, future of e-vehicles, future of flying cars - auto industry keynote speaker

Dr Patrick Dixon, YouTube Futurist Keynote Speaker - Recent Futurist YouTube Videos - Keynote Speaker

Future of cars and auto industry: despite massive innovation eg electric power / robot drivers, fact is that change will be slow on the roads. Just about to give Futurist keynote for AutoLiitto 100th Anniversary in Helsinki where 6 old cars are sold for every new one, and cars often stay on the roads for over 25 years. What that means is that even if EVERY new car today in Finland was e-powered and robot driven, it would take at least 2 decades for major impact to be felt. There are also limitations imposed by physics of wind resistance - all cars designed by robots using wind tunnel data; also by the shape of human beings and the kind of seats they find comfortable to sit in. These limitations mean that even the most radical of cars/ road vehicles will look in many ways quite similar outwardly to some models today.

Future Cancer Treatment: impact on future of health care and pharma trends. Expect rapid improvement in oncology. Futurist keynote for Pfizer by Dr Patrick Dixon - HEALTH CARE VIDEO

Already over 70% of new cancers are cured in many EU nations. Expect major progress in gene profiling of tumours, matching chemo to tumour type, stimulation of the immune system to fight your own cancer cells more effectively. Specialist centres have higher cure rates - expect further investment in cancer clinics that have the very latest facilities, higher patient numbers, greater research funding. Expect many cancer therapies to FALL in price as patents expire - leading to more generics and biosimilar drugs at as little as 5% of previous prices. However, expect latest therapies to continue to be very expensive, especially if large molecules grown / manufactured in living cells. But even here, in an average of 10 years, each of those patents will also expire. In the meantime, small things will continue to make a huge difference:

Future of Retail in Europe, India, China, America, Africa - mergers and mega scale. Future of physical retail and online retail. Lessons for retail in emerging markets. Futurist Retail Keynote - VIDEO / POST

Dr Patrick Dixon, YouTube Futurist Keynote Speaker - Recent Futurist YouTube Videos - Keynote Speaker

70% of UK retail spend is captured by only 7-8 companies. 50% of all EU retail spend is captured by only 10 retailers. The future of retail is massive scale and consolidation - farming, clothing, fast moving consumer goods, digital and so on - warehousing, logistics, supply chains, giant stores etc. Truth is that most retail outlets in the world are in emerging markets where 85% of all retail customers live, and 99.5% of them are the size of a shipping container or smaller, much smaller if you include informal street traders. We can debate about the speed of the trend or how far consolidation will go but Europe is pointing the way ahead. Of course the upside is astonishing efficiency which means lower prices usually, but the downside is lack of choice. Take bookselling: outside of major chains, there are few book outlets today in Europe, and most of them are small. But big chains only have limited shelf space so only a fraction of the 200,000 new titles in the UK each year will ever make it to a supermarket shelf. The rest will mostly have to fight online for attention of readers. Books are one thing, but fashion is quite another. If you wander into Shopping Malls from Beijing to Rio de Janeiro you find the same thing: almost identical chains selling identical range of items. Same in airport Duty Free areas globally. So shopping is becoming very boring - an additional factor driving online sales and further contraction in traditional retail outlets.

Future of Banking and Payments - Futurist keynote on financial services - banking scale, bank legacy systems, banking cybersecurity threats and customer expectations in retail banking - BANKING TRENDS VIDEO / POST

Dr Patrick Dixon, YouTube Futurist Keynote Speaker - Recent Futurist YouTube Videos - Keynote Speaker

Comment after Future Banking keynote for Wolters Kluwer in Portugal: Expect radical changes in banking, driven by emotion as well as tech. For example in Germany, % of economy traded online is only 25% of that in the UK because of differences in trust re online payments. Expect loads more bank mergers: only 2 mobile phone operating systems in world; 2 major airline builders; 6 major auto companies BUT 26,000 banks / credit unions, while costs spiral / bank with regulation, cybersecurity etc. Major challenge to mergers will continue to be legacy systems since 97/100 largest banks globally still using cobol-based 1980s type systems on IBM hardware, costing on AVERAGE $100m to maintain EACH, with massive headaches to integrate to or more such dinosaurs after every merger or acquisition.
