RIP Innovation? Your position-taking really won’t do, zeer geachte Mijnheer David Brear (“spijtig, sjefke, dat gaat niet” – I’ve translated a few pieces for your Dutch hosts over there at Money 2020 – by the way, any Singing in the Rai yet?). The report speaks of an implausible Damascene conversion. You have positioned yourself for some time as a change agent in this field through your 11FS consulting business, and been counted amongst the elect of Hoch- und Hypemeister, sowing your ideas in a panel here, a workshop there, a podcast, an awards ceremony, a webinar, on a quite frenetic “I’ve been everywhere, man” (“Ik was al overal, manneke”) to spread the Fintech gospel…and now suddenly, according to you (“volgens jouw”), it’s all a load of rubbish (“het is meteen allemaal kloten”). The seed has fallen on stony ground, or dry ground, or wet ground, or in the Ijsselmeer. If it has, then the worst that can laid at other people’s doors is that they may have lent excessive ear to the change agents and evangelists. All I can say, in true Victor Meldrew style, is Ongelooflijk („Unbelievable“)!
