In this episode I'm taking inspiration from a job ad I saw on LinkedIn recruiting for a Chief Ecosystem Officer.... for a moment I thought it was a bank in the region hiring! Spoiler... it wasn't. But that got me thinking...

In this episode, I discuss the value of project assurance for digital transformation. It's not that popular a concept, I think because most banks tend to rely - perhaps obviously - on their own internal project teams to make things happen. But as I discuss, introducing a third party with no agenda other than your project's success (a project assurance team) can significantly improve delivery for everyone. (Also, for most of the episode I'm standing in the pouring British rain for your viewing and or listening pleasure!)

I was inspired by the recent announcement of DNB Bank's NXT Accelerator to explore the topic of bringing innovation to your bank using this method. I walk through the offering for FinTechs for the NXT Accelerator and then discuss the benefits this can bring to both the FinTech and the bank.
