Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Creating an AI-Powered Community Bank with Greg Solomon
Q: Are we, in your opinion, getting the ROI question wrong, or is it just yet to come that we have to get to the enterprise side of things before we really see a true ROI?
Solomon says AI adoption is still in its early stages. Time saved is not enough to establish a full return if the work shifts to other tasks, so organizations need broader cost-benefit analysis that accounts for automation, usage, and related costs.
Creating an AI-Powered Community Bank with Greg Solomon
Q: What advice would you give someone in your position that's just starting the AI journey to get going?
Solomon recommends putting governance and guardrails in place first, choosing an architecture and framework that fit the organization, creating a process for prioritizing AI use cases, and continually learning as the technology changes.
The Rise of the Chief Deposit Officer with Brian Love from The Travillian Group
Q: Has AI changed the recruiting search landscape for you much at all?
Love says AI helps compile recruiters' notes into candidate dossiers and supports research, but his team still identifies candidates and communicates with them directly. He emphasizes that personalized outreach and storytelling remain important.
The Rise of the Chief Deposit Officer with Brian Love from The Travillian Group
Q: When do banks need to consider hiring a Chief Deposit Officer, and what background should that person have?
Love says the role can bring together funding, marketing, products, services, and commercial banking, while leading deposit generation across divisions. Banks should consider whether deposit responsibilities are fragmented under areas such as finance, marketing, or operations and whether they need an executive to coordinate that work.
Building a Performance Culture That Lasts with Jack Hubbard
Q: Where do you see the biggest opportunity out there as it relates to banking and the selling side of banking?
Hubbard sees AI supporting sales work through tools such as AI Navigator, which accelerates call preparation and tracks portfolio changes, while leaders focus more on call quality than call counts.
