The Higgs boson appears compatible with the Standard Model, to a first approximation, with no accompanying particles close to the weak scale. This indicates new physics is likely to be decoupled to heavier scales. However, signs of deviations from the Standard Model may be appearing in precision measurements of B meson decays. In this context, I will discuss the implications for phenomenology, model-building, and future colliders.
