Background
Banks are critically challenged by market stability right now and so will any be thinking about innovation, or should they be? For many, the answers will be 'no' but these banks will be seriously weakened in terms of competitiveness and customer attraction by the banks that are innovating. But even if a bank wants to innovate, what should they do and is all innovation about technology? Find out on Thursday 5th May by joining us for an evening with JP Rangaswami, the Chief Scientist of Salesforce.com and Venture Partner, Anthemis and formerly BT Group and CIO Innovator of the Year with DRKW.
Before joining Salesforce towards the end of last year, JP Rangaswami, was Chief Scientist for BT Group. Prior to joining BT in 2006, JP was Global CIO at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein. Originally an economist and financial journalist, he has worked with technology in finance since 1980 with a number of large multinationals. He was named CIO of the Year by Waters Magazine in 2003, and CIO Innovator of the Year by the European Technology Forum in 2004. In 2007 & 2008, JP was selected as one of technology's 50 most influential individuals in the silicon.com Agenda Setters poll. JP was chosen for "vision and innovation rarely seen in CIOs." JP is a Fellow of both the Royal Society of Arts and the British Computer Society, and keeps an entertaining blog: Confused of Calcutta (in homage to his birthplace).
