"Unlearn, unlear, unlearn" är ledord för de traditionella telekombolagen som måste börja tänka nytt och mer transformativt. Ett exempel som tas upp är British Telecom som reducerade tiden för att sätta upp en ny server från 60 dagar till 5 dagar, och tyckte att det va en jätteresa, sen tittade man över axeln och såg att Amazon gjorde det på 5 minuter. Det är helt enkelt dags att tänka om…

I detta avsnitt pratar vi om Peer-to-Peer (P2P) utlåning med vår kollega Kristofer. P2P-utlåning går kortfattat ut på att privatpersoner och företag lånar pengar direkt mellan varandra, utan att involvera en bank som intermediär och säkerhet. Konceptet har haft stor framgång i USA och det finns några intressanta aktörer på den svenska marknaden. Är det bara en fluga eller kan detta nya sätt att låna på utmana bankerna i framtiden?

GDPR, General Data Protection Regulation, will enter into force by May 2018. This is good news for the individual, a head ache for some organisations.

Björn Johrén and Martin Nygren visit us for the episode to discuss this very interesting topic. Björn has extensive experience within risk and assurance and is a certified GDPR practitioner, while Martin has a strong background from multiple IT and data centric disciplines.

This time we are visited by the 3gamma director Kristian Szybowski, and the topic is ecosystems. Some companies and industries leverage themselves by collaborating with surrounding peers. We talk about that small and big companies should help each other out, the extreme time to market these days and what are the actions to take.

From this fantastic episode, we realize that ecosystems are about being more than yourself and explore opportunities beyond your own capabilities.

For the first time, broadcasted in both Swedish and English with slightly different content. It is available on Soundcloud, iTunes and Acast.

Have a nice listen, cheers! // G&G
