Preview: Bank Innovation 2013

I am looking forward to the Bank Innovation 2013 conference March 18-19 in San Francisco. I will see more than a few old friends and hopefully make some new ones as some of the best and brightest minds in the industry Explore the Future of Customer Experience in banking.

On Monday afternoon I will moderate a panel on New Product Strategies & Possibilities, as we discuss best practices to promote innovation in product management from a variety of perspectives from within and without the banking industry, a topic I have been spending quite a bit of time on lately.
