797. Insights: Is being a fast follower a bad thing? Oct 27, 2023

Show notes

Our expert hosts, David M. Brear and Jason Bates, get together to discuss the concept of fast following. Its something we here from people a lot, but is it always a bad thing? How can you get it right, what are the pitfalls to avoid getting it wrong, and what is the impact on the end customer?

Much like our recent episode on how to put the services back into financial services, it’s also something we often talk to our clients about, so we thought we’d open up that conversation to you, our listeners.

We have something of a fireside chat to unpick what we mean by a fast follower and how, when and why it’s an appropriate strategy - but also when it’s not.

792. Insights: Putting services back into financial services Oct 13, 2023

Show notes

On this episode of Fintech Insider Inisghts, 11:FS CEO David M. Brear is joined by our very own CTO Ewan Silver for a fireside chat to unpick what we mean when we say the services have fallen out of financial services.

At 11:FS we believe there’s a real service gap in the industry, where companies have fixated over products or customer numbers or data, rather than the customer themselves and how best to serve them.

It’s also something we often talk to our clients about so today we thought we’d open up that conversation to you, our listeners too.
