Is ‘grey ethics’ the new ‘black’?
Ever felt like you were in a rowing boat trying to slow down an oil tanker? Well, that’s how Paul Moore, former head of the UK’s HBOS Risk and Regulatory Compliance Division, described the challenges he faced at work in 2008. Moore joined HBOS (Halifax Bank of Scotland) in 2002 – it was then one of the fastest growing banks in the UK with 74 000 full time staff, £660 billion in assets in 2007 and profits before tax of £5.4 billion. Moore was promoted to Head of Group Regulatory Risk in 2003, having accountability for policy, process, oversight and reporting. Throughout his time at HBOS, Moore became increasingly concerned about the risk management and sales culture of the organisation. On a number of occasions, Moore alerted the board to his concerns and later commented: ‘even non-bankers with no “credit risk management” expertise ... would have known that there must have been a very high risk if you lend money to people who have no jobs, no provable income and no assets.’ Deakin senior appointments

The traditional retail environment is under pressure and in the rapidly changing dynamics of global retail, retailers are seeking to engage with consumers through multi-channel approaches. There is one thing perhaps more fundamental that they need to get right and in doing so revitalise our retail experience. This also happens to be where the marjority of purchases are still being made; the physical store.
