global financial crisis hit the world in 2008. it is still felt across the world, and recovery has been slow or patchy because of uncertainty in monetary economic, regulatory and political responses. in europe, the crisis has shown the fractional nature of politics and economies with the european union, and how challenging it is for a diverse group of nations to share responsibility in crisis and agree on acceptable and timely responses. banks are seen to have been the major cause of the crisis, in the eyes of the public and voters who have felt the fiscal consequences and lost opportunity, and politicians who needed to have a clear cause for a variety of reasons.

hat is the problem with banks, and their system, and how do they build strategy? in this talk, marc will discuss the value system which undermined societies and the example of barclays bank, where he was an executive well before the crisis, as a case study of strategic challenges facing a bank which has been at the heart of international financial systems for more than 300 years. as you can expect, a critical discussion is based on their own difficulty in defining what barclays should consider in order to remain relevant and successful after the crisis – this year, they changed their chief executive who had embarked on a strategic shift which was based on changing the culture of the firm but seemed to avoid a critical understanding of the changing landscape in consumer finance. it will lead you to an interesting discussion about banks, values, cultures and what it may mean for china too.
