Beyond Resilience

Is success pattern based? Is the journey of successfully building new digital ventures in financial services (either from scratch or in the context of reforming a going concern) predictable enough to be repeatable? Beyond Resilience: Patterns of Success in Fintech and Digital Transformation asks these questions and seeks answers among the people who have first-hand experience of building new things and who live to tell the tale. Filled with interviews from leading fintech entrepreneurs and practitioners, this book strives to tell the whole truth about building new things. It shares the stories of leaders who admit that as they built their businesses, they learned a lot, changed a lot, and made mistakes and had to course-correct. The book attests that leading new fintech ventures or digital transformations, whether they are started with a blank sheet of paper or within an established entity, is hard and unpredictable. It requires control. It requires consistency and integrity. It requires standing strong, ideally not alone but with a team of equally strong leaders.
