When it comes to finance, Uldrich says, "Banking executives need to become what I call 'Exponential Executives.' That is leaders who understand that as impressive as past technological advances have beenthe ATM, online banking and mobile banking, etcthey are just the beginning. Banking Interactions will continue to evolve as customers physical and virtual worlds become intertwined, and social networks and mobile platforms will transform customers banking experiences and expectations. Still other advances will create an environment where a premium is placed on unconventional thinking and risk-taking."
