It is easy to find fault in company launches, but as a former product manager I fully understand the courage it takes to get there in the face of uncertainty, and the myriad factors that stand between you and success. So I invite you to take a few minutes to reflect with me on some of the things that went right last year. This is by no means a c

A recent study by YouGov and ACI Worldwide seemed to suggest that the whole digital disruption of banking thing all adds up to a hill of beans. The study which says that mobile banking and payments are basically a bust, seems to indicate that consumers aren’t using the tech that banks and FinTech’s are rushing to implement.

Whilst we all implicitly understand the benefits of the omni-channel customer nirvana, more consideration needs to be given to the cost to serve, revenue uplift and operational impacts.

Tinder, 3nder, schminder. Welcome to the new world where non-committal promiscuity is the norm of the day (if not de rigueur), both in personal life and in business. Welcome to the "tinder" world with "tinder" business models. One could say it all started with the "liberation of women" - being less dependent on men (h...

I'm finding that I'm having very productive discussions with lawyers as ideas mature on how blockchain could be used in financial services I should stress that I'm a technologist rather than a lawyer – a student job at a firm of Edinburgh solicitors rapidly demonstrated that Scots law was not for me. However, if you wish to build a blockchain archi...

Have you ever heard the story of the six blind men who tried to find out what elephant is? Probably you did. In this story, these blind men have no idea what elephant is, decided to touch to understand what it is and depending on which part of animal they touched – they described the elephant. All thought and insisted that they are right in their ...

Time to ruffle some feathers. Innovation, payments, fintech - there has been a lot of buzz and commotion there for the past few years. The end result - mostly fizzle. Why? There has been no real problem to solve. That conclusion surprised Rory Cellan-Jones when he interviewed me at the Payment Council's "Payments Innovation" conference l...

The technology explosion is making so many new far reaching opportunities visible that new challenges have appeared or old ones have become even more challenging. The first that many of us meet in our innovation work is the difficulty to choose between exponentially growing alternatives. The second one is to get our audience to understand that de
