‘Digital disruption’ is in its second decade, the economy is fully digital and yet the financial services sector is still playing catch up.It is evident that the approach we have taken so far is not taking us in the right direction fast enough and the world is only getting more complex.

AI is on everyone’s mind right now but we barely pause to understand what it is, what is new and what may be coming next before jumping in to approach is the same way we have always approached new technology: focusing on where it may hurt us and where it may make us money.

Allowing 100% of the workforce access to opportunity is fair. Allowing your organisation access to a wider talent pool (ie 100% of the adult population) is sensible. Diverse teams however defined consistently outperform non diverse teams by any metric. We know that. So why are things not changing?
