I’ve been re-reading an article from 2008 in The Director magazine about Mike Harris. Apparently he’s the “creator of banking pioneers First Direct and Egg”.
Turns out neither of these innovations was actually Harris’s idea. And, what’s more, “Harris isn’t too concerned where the ideas came from”.
Aaaah. Virgin birth? Wonder how the actual originators of both ideas feel about that? Who were they?
More recently Harris has been part-time “chairman of innovation” at RBS. Think I’m getting a picture here.
