McKinsey estimates, that banks on average convert just five to ten cents of every dollar of tech spend into additional business value.

This is due to the "mix" of the technology workforce:
- TECH SPEND mix;
- TECH ROLES mix;
- TECH TALENT mix.

In this brilliant study, Klaus Mayer, Phil Tuddendham, and Niels Van der Wildt show, how leading banks differ from traditional ones.

To recalibrate the spend, role, and talent mix, banks at the cutting edge have focused on four levers:

- The operating model;
- Talent management;
- Platform-oriented architecture,
- Automated or cloud-based infrastructure.

This year we had science dedicated Christmas party to tribute biologist Dr. M. Sheldrake's most recent work - "Entangled Life"!
🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲
We've dived into the research of
- anthropologists,
- biologists,
- and mycologists!
🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲
We've discovered many inspiring theories about mushrooms' connection with Christmas!
🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲
Now, each of our team members can answer questions like these:

- Why does Santa wear red/white clothes?
- Why are the Reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh?
- Why he's throwing the presents through the chimney?
- How do mushrooms connect with Christmas?
🍄🎅

It's worth to deep deeper to find out answers to those questions!

Jolly Christmas everyone!
May you have an interesting and gentle Holiday time!
🎄🍄🎅🤩🥳

For example, in the last episode
"Fintech on the shelf: making an all-in-one approach pay off"

Daniel Eisenberg talks with Arik Shtilman, co-founder and CEO of fintech platform provider Rapyd.

Arik thinks that:
--
"Two important things are happening.
🚩
One is seamless payments, and the fact - that everybody is trying to make payments look almost invisible .
🚩
And I think there are going to be quite a lot of changes there from a technological perspective - especially related to security, tokenization, and leveraging your mobile and desktop devices."

PAY ATTENTION
This resource - our ability to pay attention - is in short supply.

On a personal level, each can pay attention to things happening
- in the world,
- just around us
- or inside ourselves.

If you want to know more about this mental asset
and how to train it,
we strongly recommend two books to read and apply described methods:

📖D. Goleman, Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence;
📖Tony Schwartz, The Power of Full Engagement.
