Two months on from the Suez Canal blockage - four factors supply chains need to consider
Unforeseen, disruptive events like the Suez Canal blockage are unfortunately part and parcel of today’s modern world – supply chains cannot avoid them. The problem is their fragility and vulnerability. While the Ever Given ship was freed more quickly than expected, at the time, when hundreds of vessels were stuck behind it, there was huge uncertainty as to how long it could take, with some predicting weeks.
Strategies Needed for Next Suez Canal-Sized Disruption
Unanticipated events are a given, but organizations can build more agile and resilient supply chains with data-driven scenario planning. An excavator attempts to free Ever Given, one of the world’s largest container ships after it ran aground, Suez Canal, Egypt March 25, 2021.

At the same time, technology giants, ecommerce and supermarkets are set to yield yet more growth.

Careers CISO Suite Cloud Security Data Security Governance, Risk & Compliance Security Awareness Security Bloggers Network Threats & Breaches The rate of digital disruption has recently skyrocketed across every industry, helping accelerate global expansion and automating mundane, menial tasks.

Join Thousands of Fellow Followers Login or register now to gain instant access to the rest of this premium content! More than a decade on from the global financial crisis of 2008, the financial services industry is far from settled.

The Financial Services Industry Receives an F in Preparation for Technology Disruption
Ian Stone 1 min ago An astonishing 52% of business decision makers at US and UK financial services organizations feel their leadership teams do not appreciate the significant impact of technological disruption could have on the industry in the next five years, according to a recent report from Vuealta, The Future of Financial Services: Planning for Every Eventuality.Additionally, only 11% of respondents ranked emerging startups a top concern.
Do you have what it takes to be a successful self-disruptor?
Disruption Entrepreneurs have disrupted nearly every industry, developing start-ups that transform the way business is done. Airbnb for example has changed the world of travel forever. Today, this company enjoys a value of more than $31 billion. Lyft comes in at a cool $7.5 billion, after turning the taxi service industry on its head. FinTech firms like Stripe have created mobile payment solutions that are used by leading financial services companies like Visa.
The impact of Big Tech on the wider business landscape
Disruption For several years a small group of very large tech companies have become the most valuable businesses on the planet. But whilst they have not only amassed huge fortunes through developing business models that can dominate the markets they have helped create, they are also affecting the wider environment. Such is the effect on society that various initiatives in the US and the EU aimed at reining in their power are gaining momentum.
10 reasons for corporate failure
Decades of emerging technologies, regulatory convergence and multinationalism have totally redefined the global business space – enabling businesses to scale, cross borders and evolve to become integral cogs within their respective industries. Yet the bigger these organisations become, the harder they fall. That’s why the last two decades have been marred by a flurry of corporate failings and catastrophic collapses.
Uncertainty can generate opportunity - given the right planning and insight
Disruption Brexit, regulation and cybersecurity – three words you would not have expected to be headlining a list of major concerns facing financial services companies a decade ago. Yet, according to our latest research, The Future of Financial Services: Planning for Every Eventuality, these are now expected to be the biggest challenges facing business decision makers in financial services over the next five years.
Storm clouds on the horizon?
Why effective and innovative credit risk management is no longer an option... Unbalanced economic growth In the year following the 2008 financial crisis, economic activity declined in half of all countries in the world. Among the economies that experienced a banking crisis in 2007–08, about 85% are still operating at output levels below pre-crisis trends. The number is smaller (around 60%) for the group that did not experience a banking crisis in 2007–08.
A Little Less Conversation, a Little More Action in Insurance!
Towards the end of last year, I attended a major insurtech conference. As ever, the week was packed with interesting debates and stories about how technology is impacting the insurance industry and how insurers are reacting to changing customer demands. One of the key takeaways concerned the manner in which customers might soon be communicating with their insurer. Talk becomes action There has been a lot of chat (pun intended!) in the insurance industry about the future impact of chatbots.
Design and deliver- creating an agile and secure ecosystem for data to drive open banking services
Data, cloud, security and networks are going to underpin the success of banking’s strategy in open banking, was the strong message at a recent roundtable event hosted by Finextra, in association with Equinix, in central London. Where is everyone? Banks need to understand what the ecosystem is made up of- where each player sits, how each service or third party is connected and delivered and, hence, how the data needs to be managed. At delivery level, it is all about computers.
A Connected Future In Fintech
Fintech has dramatically disrupted the financial services industry with four of the most successful fintech companies launched in just five years from 2010 – Revolut, Monzo, Strip and Starling Bank. Why have companies like this continued to succeed and emerge as we head into 2019? The easiest way to find out is to look at what each of them have in common – putting the customer first, perhaps only made possible because they weren’t being held back by legacy technology or processes.
Retaining the human touch in an AI driven world
Younger generations are increasingly comfortable with fully automated experiences –interacting with digital assistants, chatbots and robo-advisors in their daily lives. But while these technologies have their place in the customer experience, it’s essential that businesses still give their customers the opportunity to escalate complex issues or discussions to a human operator.
How sandboxes and prototyping labs enable banking innovation
Banks are looking for new ways to come up with fresh ideas and be more agile in their product development. Often they are hindered by their legacy technology stacks, which limit their ability to go fast. Overcoming this obstacle often requires a far-reaching core system transformation. Then again, banks can’t simply jump and surgically remove the heart that keeps their business alive.

Knowing Your ‘What Ifs’ Is Key To Success In An Era Of Uncertainty
Hoarding medicines, global policy-making by Twitter, celebrities with the power to wipe billions off stock valuations, cyber-attacks that can cripple national health organisations and shipping companies at ease. It’s not an overstatement to say we are living in the era of uncertainty.
Quod Financial: Buy-AND-Build Disruptor 2018
Quod Financial was described in the “Trends in FX Trading 2018” report by Greyspark Partners as the leading “Serious Challenger” in the newly emerging Buy-AND-Build space. Today’s Technology Enigma In a world of consolidating vendors, shrinking profits and constrained budgets, there has never been a greater need to differentiate yourself using technology. The Buy-vs-Build argument has never produced a clear winner: – BUY and you are immediately limited, do you still have an edge?
Financial services businesses are not prepared for tech disruption
Now, more than a decade on from the events of 2008, the finance industry is far from settled. It’s chaos at the speed of the digital era. In fact, the next five years are set to be just as dynamic as the previous ten – filled with challenges and disruption but equally, presenting opportunities for those that navigate the period well. The sector is no stranger to disruption.
Considerations for successful international expansion - Real Business
Ian Stone, CEO of Vuealta, discusses the factors SMEs and hypergrowth companies need to consider in order to make international expansion a success. Technology allows startups to “think big” earlier than ever before and enables global expansion at pace, to rival larger enterprises. As the world becomes more connected and digitised – whether that’s the internet, social media, or big data and the cloud– businesses have access to better intelligence on global events and market opportunities.
What's next for SWIFT gpi and cross-border real-time payments?
SWIFT gpi poses many opportunities for banks. Like any technology, the rate of change is accelerating, making it critical that banks keep pace with the market and with their competition. In 2018, as domestic real-time payments schemes reach near-ubiquity thanks to a combination of regulatory and customer demand drivers, we have seen an accelerated parallel trajectory for cross-border real-time gross settlement (RTGS) payments.
India’s missed chance on Mobile wallets back in 2007
I come from the space of Indian tech and banking growth. I started as an IT professional in a small firm before I joined IBM and be part of the Telecom vertical where we built the modularized version of what was an ERP built by IBM NZ for Telecom services providers and we saw the industry move from 2G to 3G happening in front of us.
Cryptocurrencies: where to from here?
Cryptocurrencies have shown the world a new way of paying for goods and transferring money using an international currency unconstrained by national boundaries and national politics. A new democratised, decentralised way of managing money. There are problems in paradise however. The current crop of cryptocurrencies are swiftly turning into an environmental disaster. The largest of which, BitCoin, is estimated to be burning 0.5% of the world’s electricity by the end of 2018.
The biggest UK challenger bank yet: what does the Virgin-CYBG merger say about industry’s future?
Last Monday, 96% of CYBG shareholders voted to accept Virgin’s all-share offer to merge. It looks like the happy couple is set to create the biggest challenger bank ever in the UK. But behind the headline numbers lies a key strategic reason - matching the personal feel of regional branches with the technological capabilities to answer the growing digital demands of modern consumers.
The Missing Link: Effective Market Conduct for Financial Inclusion Technologies
I recall a conversation in the wake of the global financial crisis, at the end of 2008. We had just begun to disseminate the idea to create a global financial inclusion peer learning network among potential partners and stakeholders. At the time, a representative from a multilateral organization bluntly asked me: How can you promote financial inclusion at a point in time when the world is suffering from a crisis that is a result of too much inclusion?
Custom fit: getting the most out of your tech
The rate of innovation taking place today is enough to make any business feel permanently caught in a hamster wheel; trying to keep up with the latest trends to stay relevant. From small businesses to large enterprises, introducing anything new into a company can be a painful process. But if done right, it’s highly rewarding. The problem is, the hamster wheel means that businesses feel constantly under pressure to move onto the next “big thing“.

Trustless Blockchains Are Yet to Come
Blockchain technology is finding barriers to acceptance among global corporate institutions. Lack of trust among users represents one of the biggest hurdles to full acceptance. The real problem is that blockchain-based applications make transactions immutable; hence, corporate users feel they will never be able to rectify mistakes, or, worse, that any transaction in the blockchain must be taken for granted.
BEWARE the snake oil: dispelling myths about AI today
‘Artificial intelligence’ (AI) and ‘machine learning’ are sneaking into every part of our daily lives. How do we tell the realizable use cases available now from what’s projected? In 1850, Michael Faraday released his seminal paper on electromagnetic induction. However, some 100 years after Faraday’s paper, that electricity become widely adopted, standardized, and ultimately reached a level, which meant it was superior to other technologies, such as steam.
The changing world of money and why it’s a big deal
After a not so short “sabbatical”, I am back at Finextra. (Thank you for the warm welcome, Steve.) To kick things off, I’ll write a series of short blog posts on the changing world of money – blockchain, stablecoin, cryptocurrencies, micropayments, ICO, STO, to name a few global macrotrends and buzzwords. Things are changing at breakneck speed. 256 bits of digital data is (was) worth more than 256g of pure gold (think about that!). Fiat money gets tokenised.
The connected future of fintech
Between 2010 and 2015, the financial services industry changed drastically. In just those five years, four of today’s most successful fintech companies were launched; namely Stripe, Revolut, Starling Bank and Monzo. These launches all had one thing in common; putting the customer at the centre of the operation, untied to legacy or history.
