In August 2019, I wrote a blog post on PFM tools called "PFM, BFM, Financial Butler, Financial Cockpit… - Will the cumbersome administrative tasks on your financials finally be taken over?". Since then, driven by the go-live of PSD2 and Open Banking APIs, numerous Fintechs are developing new solutions acting as your personal financial b...

Anyone working in product development needs to think, feel and live like a customer to truly understand what they need to do. I’ve worked in digital for over a decade, but all too often I’ve heard the phrase “you are not the customer” used (usually incorrectly) like a carefully calibrated torpedo to blow any argument out of the water, even if it w...

The “gig economy” is growing rapidly. Technology acceleration has enabled businesses like Deliveroo to pioneer its working model in the UK. The increasing number of contractor jobs has risen from 1.3 million in 2018 to 4.7 million and it seems that more industries are shifting to an ad hoc basis when it comes to employing staff.

Climate change, environment, pollution - all seem to be catch phrases now more than ever. Abbreviations such as SDG or the ESG gap are all over the internet and news.

Last year, I put together a few thoughts on what I saw as the emerging DevOps trends for 2019. As we enter a new year and decade, I thought it might be useful to do the same for 2020. A common theme in this year’s trends concerns the way in which firms are dealing with delivering services at scale in the cloud, which I think could be a grand tren...

Historically banks have been hesitant to adopt open source software (i.e. software where source code is shared and made freely available). With traditional vendors like IBM, TIBCO, Oracle… strongly positioned in this industry, the move to open source has been slow.

Prior to 2018, regulators resisted recommending the use of Machine Learning (ML) based Artificial Intelligence (AI) for AML compliance. There was a mindset shift in mid 2018 indicating that proceeding with caution in implementing AI approaches for AML is appropriate. Regulators realize the adoption of recent innovation, such as the use of AI-ML an...

The future of banking could be closer than we think.
