Shades of Grey: The Conscientious Banker

What happens if the world actually runs out of people? While you
may not fully subscribe to this point of view, we all need to start
paying much more attention to the needs of its fastest growing
segment of our global population: those households that are over
the age of 50. As aging itself is far from homogeneous, the
solutions we create today to serve the needs of our aging
population will determine our future quality of life. Our very
future is at stake. 

In this episode of Shades of Grey, Theodora Lau and Arun
Krishnakumar talk to Bradley Leimer, Co-Founder at Unconventional
Ventures. Brad shares insights from his travels in Asia and
compares the innovation of the West to that emerging from the East.
The discussion moves on to what the challenges and opportunities
are in an Ageing world, especially in countries like Japan and
Italy.

The challenge of east vs west in regard to opportunities for
financial services is one of scale, from physical health to
financial wellness. Technologies such as automation and robotics
ensure activities of daily living are accomplished more
efficiently. Voice technology and mobility solutions through
autonomous vehicles and transit systems help to keep aging
societies connected and active. We must remember that the
eighty-year-old of today was not the same eighty-year-old of fifty
years ago nor fifty years in the future.
