Never did I imagine 3 months ago that we’d be dealing with such an unprecedented global crisis as we have done with COVID-19.

Every Thursday, Leda Glyptis, 11:FS Chief of Staff creates #LedaWrites. This week she turns her attention to the problems behind procurement and how to decide whether to build, buy or partner.

In the first part of this series I introduced the story of Frederic Tudor, the American Ice-Block King; and discussed lessons learned from his then new product offering as it relates to blockchain technology. Tudor was able to successfully corner the ice-block shipping market and eventually was shipping blocks of ice to as far away as Calcutta from his home in Boston.

How can community banks remain competitive as large financial institutions gobble up more and more of the market?

Every Thursday, Leda Glyptis, CEO of 11:FS Foundry creates #LedaWrites. This week she turns her thoughts, and thanks, to those in the Messy Middle.

How successful have government loan schemes in the UK and US been so far and what’s next?

Every Thursday, Leda Glyptis, 11:FS Chief of Staff creates #LedaWrites. This week she turns her attention to Open Banking, doing almost nothing and doing everything.

11:FS Pulse is constantly loading more content and we’re always seeking new ways to create transparency in our product so you can understand the reasoning behind why some user journeys are so powerful.

Every Thursday, Leda Glyptis, 11:FS Chief of Staff creates #LedaWrites. This week she turns her attention to trust, consistency and the currency of credibility.

The number one reason why new propositions fail is that they do not find product market fit. No-one sets out to build a dud product; everyone is shooting for the moon. So what separates the breakthrough successes from the desperate failures? A key part of success is developing a purpose for your product and being able to strongly communicate why your product exists. Importantly, the 'why' is defined by focusing on customer outcomes, which is the reason many of the commoditised banking products lack any meaningful purpose.

Each week, Leda Glyptis, CEO of 11:FS Foundry, creates #LedaWrites. This week she ponders what isn’t happening while bank decision-makers are busy pretending everything is in hand.

It’s the 5th of April and that means one thing to us at 11:FS and that is that it’s our birthday! Four years old. Damn. And what a strange time to be in celebrating everything we’ve achieved with everything that’s going on.

Guest author Richard Davies gives his thoughts on the importance of scaling agile to all functions of an organisation, and some key factors on how to get there.

There’s been no shortage of attention paid to the emergence of fintech in the Middle East recently. In fact, we wrote about the ‘perfect storm’ that was brewing in the region and recently gave an overview of the digital challengers emerging to meet these needs.

Every Thursday, Leda Glyptis, 11:FS Chief of Staff creates #LedaWrites. This week she turns her attention to why mistakes are wonderful things.
