It was great spending time with you, Kenneth C. Barrios II , on your podcast. There is tremendous opportunity out there! Many business leaders wonder about specific AI applications they can deploy today to impact their businesses and lives. I am glad we connected on this topic!

"Innovate or die!" My former boss at Marriott, Damiano Albanese, posted this in his office years ago. Today, management consulting should examine the online brokerage industry. We know how successful Charles Schwab has been with its online brokerage platform. Do you remember Prudential Securities? They died (sort of) in 2003. If you are with McKinsey, Bain, BCG, or any global consulting organization, your business model can be compared to the brokerage business model of the 1990s, which changed rapidly in the early 2000s. Small consulting companies are adapting their business model with technology that can go exponentially deeper into an organization and synthesize data in seconds. These activities are done with conversational AI and have historically been substantial cash flow streams for global consulting firms. Will they adapt? Here is a quick summary of what happened to Prudential Securities (compliments of Chat GPT): Once a significant player in the brokerage industry, Prudential Securities experienced a decline that led to its eventual exit from the retail brokerage business. Background Prudential Securities was the investment and brokerage arm of Prudential Financial, one of the largest financial services companies in the world. It offered various services, including retail brokerage, asset management, and investment banking. Key Events Leading to Downfall Competition from Online Brokers: With the rise of online trading platforms in the 1990s, traditional brokerages like Prudential Securities faced significant competition. Online brokers offered lower fees and more convenient services, attracting many retail investors. Technology Lag: Prudential Securities was slower in adopting the new technology-driven trading environment. Its online trading platform lagged behind more nimble competitors, causing it to lose market share to firms quicker to embrace online trading. Financial Performance: The firm struggled with profitability due to increased competition and unwillingness to adapt. Declining profits made it difficult to invest in necessary technology upgrades and to retain top talent. Merger and Sale Merger with Wachovia Securities: In 2003, Prudential Financial decided to exit the retail brokerage business. It merged Prudential Securities with Wachovia’s brokerage arm to form Wachovia Securities, with Prudential Financial retaining a minority stake in the new entity. This move was part of a broader strategy to focus on other core areas of its business. Conclusion Prudential Securities’ downfall can be attributed to a combination of factors, including its slow adaptation to technological advancements in online trading, intense competition from more agile online brokers, and declining financial performance. The decision to merge with Wachovia and subsequently become part of Wells Fargo marked the end of Prudential Securities as a standalone entity in the brokerage industry.
