McKinsey estimates, that banks on average convert just five to ten cents of every dollar of tech spend into additional business value.

This is due to the "mix" of the technology workforce:
- TECH SPEND mix;
- TECH ROLES mix;
- TECH TALENT mix.

In this brilliant study, Klaus Mayer, Phil Tuddendham, and Niels Van der Wildt show, how leading banks differ from traditional ones.

To recalibrate the spend, role, and talent mix, banks at the cutting edge have focused on four levers:

- The operating model;
- Talent management;
- Platform-oriented architecture,
- Automated or cloud-based infrastructure.

PAY ATTENTION
This resource - our ability to pay attention - is in short supply.

On a personal level, each can pay attention to things happening
- in the world,
- just around us
- or inside ourselves.

If you want to know more about this mental asset
and how to train it,
we strongly recommend two books to read and apply described methods:

📖D. Goleman, Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence;
📖Tony Schwartz, The Power of Full Engagement.
