Operatic arias and sigh boats

After the big data session in the #innotribe yesterday, it was back to prowling the exhibit hall for gifts, drinks and dialogue. It seems that this year’s exhibition lacks a lot off pizzazz – I wholly expected a few stands to have maple-leafed mousses on them – but, for what it lacks in pizzazz, it…

Digital identities, big data and rogue traders

The #innotribe group is now in full swing, moving between presentations and workshops, dialogues and debates, agreements and arguments, confusion and clarity … … you get the idea, with innovation there is no certainty, just the uncertainty of the certain. The uncertainty of the certain future that is. As mentioned, we started the debate this…

SIBOS Day Two: I said RMB, not Rumba

A good night generally, with various cocktail and drinks receptions, dinners and dalliances.  Being on UK clocks, most of us Europeans were then awake and active at four in the morning, and looking for action on SIBOS day two. My own morning began with a nice meet up for breakfast with JPMorgan. JPM were rolling…

Citigroup’s keynote at #Sibos … nil points

The end of the first day of SIBOS and a mixed bag of new ideas and stale old ones. Sure we had two keynotes from John Havens, President and Chief Operating Officer, Citigroup; and Tim Lane, Deputy Governor, Bank of Canada. They were fine. Boring but fine. I was particularly incensed by the lack of anything worth…

Gartner and #innotribe get social

So lunch was topped and tailed by two sessions on technology and its impact on banks today. The first was from Peter Sondergaad, Financial Services lead at Gartner Group and the second was the next innotribe stream session on social data. Both had common themes around social, mobile, data and cloud, but with slightly different…

Brett King launches Movenbank at #sibos #innotribe

So #SIBOS 2011 kicks off well, with the opening of #innotribe. Rather than bells and whistles, the guys used drums with a drumming half-dressed native American getting everyone pumped for the starting session. People knew this was going to be slightly different for a banking conference already. The drummer was followed by Kosta Peric, innotribe…
