OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Distinguished Speaker Seminar, Urs Rohner:Disruptive innovation in banking
Registration required: distinguishedursrohner.eventbrite.com. The School is happy to welcome Urs Rohner, Chairman of Credit Suisse and Dr. Marc Ventresca to discuss theory and practice of innovating during turbulent times. The banking industry is facing multiple challenges: restrictive regulation, margin pressure, public scrutiny, increasing competition from emerging markets and innovative offerings- once safely at the sector’s periphery- gaining traction. With banking culture, business structures and regional focus all changing simultaneously, innovation was long neglected. In 2013, nearly USD 3bn were invested in FinTech start-ups and incumbents are trying to catch up with disruptive innovators in terms of client service, accessibility and pricing models. Can established players cope with innovation pressures or will the ‘incumbent’s curse’ prevent them from being successful in the long term?
