What's Going On In Banking
AI, Data, and the Execution Gap in Banking
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Banks are racing into AI and “data strategy” — but most can’t clearly define what they’re actually doing.
Ron Shevlin and Stacey Bryant break down why chasing trends won’t fix broken strategy, and why specificity, execution, and focus matter more than hype.
If you're in banking or fintech, this is the reality check you need.
