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…
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…

Innotribe is the main stream I’m involved with this year, as ‘professional troublemaker’. We’re rehearsing for the opening session here with mates from all over the world, although I notice a predominance…
Another year, another SIBOS. Same sh*t, different day. SSDD for short. No, it’s not an insult, but this is my nth SIBOS and we’re here talking about the same old stuff: regulations, transactions, payments infrastructures, the role of SWIFT, the future of the industry, innovation and, oh yes, risk. Risk. For years, we have talked…
I attended a great conference in Copenhagen this week – Finans IT-Dagen.
