Institutions from across the banking sector are turning to digital twinning to help them with a range of challenges.

At the beginning of the pandemic, there were perhaps few institutions that looked less well equipped to function under social distancing than Lloyd’s of London. Synonymous with antiquated practices and the primacy of dealing face-to-face, business at Lloyd’s should have ground to a halt this year. Of course, the reality is that this has not been t...

Mountains of consumer debt that had been packaged, re-sold and deferred turned out to be unserviceable and the whole edifice came tumbling down." I wrote this in a blog sometime ago - it is still true! Now commentators are wondering whether the cyc...

Artificial intelligence is still a rapidly growing field, and we keep discovering many new uses for it in various different spheres. And while it’s not clear how long this growth and progress will continue for, one thing is certain right now – it’s reasonable to expect quite a lot in the coming months of 2020.

Digital transformation - two words that, depending on your nature, may terrify or delight you. Yes, it's a significant undertaking and usually requires high upfront budget and effort. However, depending on your current state of play it may actually prove to be the most cost effective and expedient approach too. There are two fundamental approache...

Even with the most careful preparation, planning for the new year may look a little different this time around. Despite a turbulent year nearly being visible in the rearview mirror, external factors are unlikely to conform to our 12-month calendar and will continue to serve up disruption and opportunity in 2021.
