Digital Transformation: The Great Lie – Part 2. How do you know if you’re on track?
A three-part series by 11:FS Non-Executive Director, Lisa Gansky Last week Lisa discussed how to become truly digital you must take a leap of faith, ask questions, make a mess and ultimately shake up business models completely.

Why it’s good to be an SME
If you are an SME, the chances are you have been seriously neglected by your bank. Your accounting software or Excel spreadsheets are probably your only go to points to understand the state of your business. Your invoice management is likely to be scatty at best, and cash flow optimization is probably not something available in a few clicks. Oh, and it probably took you a couple weeks to actually apply and get your bank account.
Digital Transformation: The Great Lie - Part 1. The 3 steps of Digital Transformation

She outlined the three steps on the journey: The Digital Makeover – ask never ending questions if you want to evolve The Joy of Decoupling – refashioning process and perspective Is That Even Legal? – Innovation that completely redefines norms Read part 1 in full here

Banks + FinTechs = Powerful new customer journeys
The talk of disruption of banking by fintech companies has quelled a little recently as realisation sets in as to just how difficult that actually is.

11:FS report card: a round up of a fantastic first year
I used to hate when my parents came into high school for the annual speech from my teachers that I should be trying a lot harder.

The Race is On: How 3 Challenger Banks Plan to Win Customers (and Make Money)
This post appeared first in The Times and Raconteur in the UK in June 2016. Until the financial crisis banks had enjoyed decades of growth unencumbered by the disruption seen in the newspaper, telecommunications and music industries. During the good years banks’ profits soared and, while they embraced customer-facing internet and mobile apps, the foundations, processes and technology on which banks are built, despite billions spent on technology, would look familiar to those who worked there in the 1970s. UK banks now face the perfect storm of significant technological advancements plus a regulator and government that want to foster innovation, and an ever-growing disillusionment of banking customers to banks’ offerings.
