It’s February, and a year and a month has passed since my last predictions blog, and what a year we have had. Like with everything in life, things have taken longer than expected to finish. This is very true with the pandemic and the aftermath it is leaving behind. I concluded my last predictions with a quote from my hero David Attenborough “Our...

RPA in Finance Robotic Process Automation (RPA) can be traced to the early 2000s, but the technology entered mainstream Finance transformation solutions around 2015.

2021 has been a year of two halves – the first we were all dealing with life under lockdown. And the second half, supercharged with the vaccine programme, has seen life trying to get back to normal.

Nearly 80% wish they were taught basic money skills at school. And 83% say they learn about finance from their families. Let’s put this in perspective. Gen Z are people that ar...

I read with interest the recent Finextra article referencing Accenture’s survey, revealing that only 10% of all banks’ board directors, as well as 10% of CEOs, have any professional technology experience.

One silver lining to the Covid-19 crisis is that organisations across the globe have prudently shifted their focus to secure cash.

Over the past decade, digital transformation has worked its way to the top of C-suite agendas. Though while it started out as a global business phenomenon, it quickly lost momentum.
