Innovations do not come from outer space

Innovations do not come from outer space - technology often comes - at least from space. There is a long way for new technology to become an invention, then give birth to a business idea which has the potential of becoming an innovation - a new practise which eventually is adopted by a critical mass of potential users - and then becomes the much s...

Don't be so cynical about privacy

Reports of the death of privacy abound, but they're premature. There are certainly those who, on the sly, would seek its demise, for privacy tends to get in their way. Like politicians on a post 9-11 national security bender, or Internet entrepreneurs who seek to monetise their eye-in-the-sky knowledge of their customers' habits. They're all tryi

Key themes for risk management in 2010

Every year brings it’s challenges - although I think it's fair to say that we enter 2010 with perhaps slightly more optimism than 2009. Nevertheless, economic trends, political events, responses to the banking crisis and technology devlopments are beginning to shape the risk agenda for 2010. Here’s my perspective on some of the issues that are

A Debit Card Development that Could Cost Us A Packet

I saw an interesting article in the Daily Telegraph the other day, which suggested that the Authorities are considering adding connected lender liability to debit card purchases. If this gains traction, I think it is a bad development for banks, that they should resist with all the force available to them. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/perso...

First Bullet Fired in a Virtual War

I’m interrupting my series of 2009 mega-trends and 2010 projections to discuss the current situation in cybercrime. What a crazy week. First Google says it is prepared to pull its business out of China after cybercriminals used Trojans to hack into Gmail accounts of anti-Chinese government human rights activists.
