Each week, Leda Glyptis, CEO of 11:FS Foundry, creates #LedaWrites. This week, as the world continues to change, she discusses how to overcome defaulting to the comfortable way of doing things just because that's how they've always been done.

In part one of this series I pointed out that things look very, very bad for the insurance industry right now. In this blog post I will explore what might happen next.

David M. Brear, our CEO, recently asked his followers on LinkedIn the following question: What three things should every bank in the world do in the next 3 years to be successful?

Each week, Leda Glyptis, CEO of 11:FS Foundry, creates #LedaWrites. This week, her thoughts turn to what transformation should look like with the lessons being learned from COVID-19.
Last year, we debated digital payments and whether they’re the future. At the time, it seemed like the answer was a resounding “yes".

But the question is, will this be a permanent change or will we revert to our pre-pandemic ways once it’s safe to do so? And if we do fast-forward to a completely cashless society, what will the implications be?

Every Thursday, Leda Glyptis, CEO of 11:FS Foundry creates #LedaWrites. This week she reflects on inspiring bosses and the opportunities they offered.
