Informed Choice chief executive Nick Bamford is speaking at the Social Media in Financial Services Conference 2010 on Wednesday in London.
He is very much looking forward to it because he is one of those rare people who actually enjoys public speaking, particularly when it is on a subject about which he is passionate.
Business change management is one of those subjects.
Those of you who know Nick will be aware that he is a forward thinker and certainly not a change resister.
Nick believes that, as far as financial services is concerned, it is the case that the combination of the Internet, websites and social media which are going to come together to revolutionise the way consumers acquire financial products and the information, guidance and advice they require.
His presentation title is “Is an online execution-only service the big opportunity IFAs have been waiting for?”. He is going to go wider than that, with some of his key points being:
-Website + social media = the biggest business opportunity in history
-An 11th way to murder your business (Nick’s addition to the other 10 ways)
-3 key learning points from our journey to date
-How social media becomes the essence of your brand
-How the Internet and social media work with the New Model Adviser
