	<description><![CDATA[Rory MacNeil, Axiope

Rory Macneil, CEO, is an entrepreneur whose earlier career - Harvard-trained lawyer, founder of a successful China-based investment consultancy and partner in a global law firm - is not the profile you might expect for Axiopes CEO. Nevertheless the dedication to customer service which was fundamental to his earlier experience remains central to Axiopes ethos. And Rory has learned a fair bit about biomedical research needs and online offerings in the seven years since Nigel's partner Johanna Moore, a professor at Edinburgh University's School of Informatics, introduced him to Nigel and suggested that he get involved with what was to become Axiope. Indeed he is learning more all the time! Rory is a director of two other software companies. His outside interests include tennis, soccer and Scottish history.

Nigel Goddard, Axiope

Nigel Goddard, Founder and Director of Business and Product Development at Axiope, wears two hats. At Axiope, Nigel's extensive engagement with users and resulting understanding of their needs has proved instrumental in driving the transition to Axiopes web-based approach whose first manifestation is eCAT. He is also Reader at the Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation at Edinburgh University's School of Informatics, where his current research focuses on computational methods and models for global change research. In his spare time Nigel enjoys mountain climbing and yoga.

	<description><![CDATA[This talk will look at disruption in the Retail Banking Industry -
from Branch to Direct/Call Centre Banking to Internet Banking and onto
new payment/banking businesses like Paypal.

Disruption is about new ways of working, new business processes, new
product propositions and new customers with changed customer intent.

This is a practioner-based talk drawing on experience across the
retail banking industry from a local startup CEO.

The focus is on helping young ambitious people understand what a
disruptive opportunity looks like and how to position themselves and
their companies in the market place.

About Gordon
--------------

In the UK Web 1.0 was mostly travel and retail banking and retail
banking was mostly Scotland. Gordon Guthrie worked as an IT Strategist
at Direct Line Financial Service and then was Chief Technical
Architect at if.com and was instrumental in making the Bank Of
Scotland's Series D investment in Paypal before it's IPO. He tried
(unsucessfully, unfortunately) to start his own bank in 2001.

He is convenor of the Scottish Lean Circle and an organiser of the
Turing Festival.

	<description><![CDATA[This talk will look at disruption in the Retail Banking Industry - from Branch to Direct/Call Centre Banking to Internet Banking and onto new payment/banking businesses like Paypal.

Disruption is about new ways of working, new business processes, new product propositions and new customers with changed customer intent.

This is a practioner-based talk drawing on experience across the retail banking industry from a local startup CEO.

The focus is on helping young ambitious people understand what a disruptive opportunity looks like and how to position themselves and their companies in the market place.

About Gordon
----------------

In the UK Web 1.0 was mostly travel and retail banking and retail banking was mostly Scotland. Gordon Guthrie worked as an IT Strategist at Direct Line Financial Service and then was Chief Technical Architect at if.com and was instrumental in making the Bank Of Scotland's Series D investment in Paypal before it's IPO. He tried (unsucessfully, unfortunately) to start his own bank in 2001.

He is convenor of the Scottish Lean Circle and an organiser of the Turing Festival.
