The Future of Banking

THE FUTURE OF BANKING: MANAGING IN THE 'NEW NORMAL'

Bankers today are in survival mode. But to be successful and ahead of the curve, they must shift from bunker mentality to anticipating the tough questions about the “new normal” that will soon replace the current downturn. Dr. Bill Conerly, a former banking executive and an expert in business cycles, provides answers to the questions you should be asking now so you’ll know what challenges you will be grappling with in the next few years.

Bill will answer these and other questions:

If banks want to reduce their concentration in real estate, will they all fight for the same commercial loan customers?
What will a struggle for commercial loan customers mean for bank costs and net interest margins?
With higher capital requirements, what can bank stock investors expect? What should bank CEOs tell their boards about earnings potential?
How far will banking industry consolidation go? And how long will it last? Will community banks survive in the coming years?
How will banks deal with other challenges, including training, customer attitudes and information technology capabilities?
What issues should be on the top of every bank executive’s agenda in 2010 and 2011?

Dr. Bill Conerly is not just an economist, he’s a veteran of ALCO, credit policy, and strategic planning committees. Formerly senior vice president of First Interstate Bank, he holds a Ph.D. in economics from Duke University and has earned the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. He is a favorite with banking audiences because he explains complex ideas in an accessible and humor-filled way.

Dr. Conerly presents this information to bank boards and management teams. He can meet with your group for a presentation on this topic, then stay and be a resource for you strategic planning. (Or leave you alone, whichever you prefer.) He also speaks to associations of bankers.
