Chris,
We had a session about this at Innotribe Sibos 2015 in Singapore this year. With David Nordfors who is suggesting disrupting UNemployment vs disruption employement. Video footage of that session here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns6kUFjaW2I
Best, @Petervan
We are the Robots ...
To complete my discussion this week about the future world of longevity, and its impact on savings and investments, many of you may have missed the speech by Andy Haldane, Chief Economist at the Bank of England and Executive Director, Monetary Analysis and Statistics about robots replacing human...
A lot of this makes me think of the Digital Asset Grid project a the time. My big lesson learned at the time was three-fold: 1) branding of the project is important, the "digital me" just won't cut it 2) we must be able to articulate how this helps solving/connects with the actual business problems and challenges banks or other nodes in the grid have today, and 3) you must take the whole hierarchy/community on the journey about the evolution of the narrative and thinking in and about your project. I fully agree with your conclusion that we are moving from a secure money store to a secure data store. But to do what ? What NEW value propostions will this enable?
The end of a 'bank account' as the digital me takes over
I had a really interesting conversation with Chris Barker, Head of Digital and Engineering for Royal Bank of Scotland. As usual, the conversation moved around data analytics, deep learning, artificial intelligence, building enterprise data systems, separating content from processing, re-platfor...
Thx, Chris for this insight. See also my post Ties vs. Tattoos where i make a plea for inclusion vs exclusion http://petervan.wordpress.com/2014/08/08/ties-vs-tattoes/
Suits or jeans, canapés or pizzas? The fintech shuffle moves on ...
I had a realisation over the past two weeks of conferences. Having attended Finovate, SIBOS, Innotribe, a Financial Services Club meeting on cryptocurrencies and several dinners with bankers, we are at an impasse. It’s the meeting of two tribes, and the tribes do not mix well. One tribe is full...
Hi John,
Thank you. It feels like it was written for me.
Grateful for your wise guidance
Warm regards

The Paradox of Preparing for Change
I love paradox. Here’s an example: the best way to prepare for change is to decide what isn’t going to change. Several weeks ago, I had the pleasure of speaking to a gathering hosted by the Churchill Club in Silicon Valley. The theme of the gathering was “Changing the Game.” They gave me exactly...
I am in, John !
The Labor Day Manifesto Of the Passionate Creative Worker
[Three years ago today I posted A Labor Day Manifesto for a New World. In classic Hagelian fashion it was long and complicated. With the help of a few edge collaborators (Christopher Gong, Sarah Scharf and John Seely Brown), we've managed to simplify the Manifesto into some powerful imperatives...
Hi Chris,
Privacy may not be dead, but is at least very seriously challenged. Digital identity and privacy is one of my "home"-projects. I write quite a lot about it on my blog:

The end of privacy
I continue to be stunned by how Facebook and other social media allow me to see things in other people’s lives that should not be seen. For example, all of my friend’s friends photographs. This is a feature of Facebook I particularly dislike, and I’m not sure people are even aware of it, althoug...
The strength of Paypal is in its API's. If you look a bit closely to it, they carry the embryo of a messaging system that can be used for anything. Not just consumer payments. Already now with fork- and chain-payments. They indeed move up the value chain, and may soon attack the "plumbing" of the underlying payment systems. They are indeed typical example of Innovator's dilemma. But they are not a start-up anymore. Same effect as Salesforce: a 10 eyar old company with revenues now in the billions. They are crossing the chasm?
Why PayPal et al REALLY matter!
So yesterday I argued that PayPal and their brethren of social monies don’t matter. It was like unleashing the sceptical banker that I know resides deep within me, and it felt good. Then I got a dose of new reality vision (maybe due to so many comments on yesterday’s piece) and it felt not so go...

Why Heads of Innovation are actually Bottoms
Over the past year, most of the banks I deal with have dropped the word ‘innovation’ from their mantra. It’s strange but true that the focus upon being innovative had been such a focal point during the 2000s and now it’s all over. To illustrate the point, the Top 10 American banks used the word ...
