3 things
Was catching up with Susan today and it reminded me to post this presentation I did last November for an ‘asset management think tank’ that Susan produced (with Reed Midem). She asked me to speak to this group of senior executives from (mostly large) financial services firms about how the changes brought on by technology might impact their businesses going forward.
No problem.
Oh, and… I get eight minutes to do it. Easy peasy.
So I got to work. My first attempt came in at about 72 minutes and in any event would clearly not make any sense to anyone but me (and maybe JP, a clear demographic of one!) So that went in the trash and working in the wee hours of the morning in Monaco – with only the magic of my trusty MacBook Pro and Keynote (sound familiar? – Al eat your heart out! …wonder if I can get Jeff Skoll to finance the movie version too? 
) I started again from scratch.
Obviously I needed to:
-
Distill the ideas.
Create a jumping off point [pun intended], not a conclusion.
Capture their attention.
Well this is what I came up with. 3 things. [the magical number 7 minus 2, minus 2 again... just in case!]:
[ok I know it's hard to read with the Quicktime/YouTube resolution...if you can't read it, trust me: it's really good(!)]
With thanks to (in case you can’t read the source attributions on the video) – Dave Morin, Stowe Boyd, Reuters, The Electric Sheep Company, Ray Kurzweil and Lewis Carroll.
…oh and Sol Seppy! Enjoy.
