?? Good morning Money20/20! How can banks and fintech use technology responsibly to benefit stakeholders of all sorts? Here are two books that complement your social compass to help you make impact in your organisation, and foster the transformation of business models with technology. ___________ ??BEYOND GOOD - written by Theodora Lau and Bradley Leimer - explores what we feel when thinking of global corporations and business in general. Do we feel pride in how we do things? Are we doing enough, given global climate change and the inequality faced by millions of people every day? Beyond Good is a call to arms for business leaders to recognise how they can do well by doing good based on exclusive interviews with experts from the B-Corp world, policy makers and executives. And if you are in Las Vegas this week, don’t miss to meet Theo at #Money2020 ?? ?? BOOK LINK: https://lnkd.in/dR2nDtTr ___________ ??BANKS AND FINTECH ON PLATFORM ECONOMIES - my latest Amazon bestseller in banking books - opens with a novel interpretation of value for clients that reshapes financial services on platform economies from their ground up. This new axiology - which emerged from an industry reckoning moment in the aftermath of the global financial crisis - anchors the usage of technology beyond immediate good to benefit permanently all stakeholders: not only bankers and entrepreneurs but also employees, clients, broader society and the planet. Radical transparency is the business and regulatory compass to guide you in the necessary shift of focus from selling “business outputs” to selling “client outcomes”. And doing so by powering new business models that are economically sustainable and can scale. The realization of transparency through technology is a competitive advantage that places the “Money for Value” at the centre of digital transformations and make it available to clients. Financial Market Transparency unlocks positive network effects across entire ecosystems, to grow fintech startups and pivot the business models of established institutions with “Contextual Banking” and “Conscious Banking” platform strategies. ?? BOOK LINK: https://lnkd.in/dcP5m2Yw ___________ I do recommend BEYOND GOOD, and thank you in advance for investing your time to read my bestseller BANKS AND FINTECH ON PLATFORM ECONOMIES. And if you've done that already, share your thoughts in the comments. #ibm IBM ??
