Issue 7 | Summer 2017 Welcome back! This is Perspectives, our regular publication aimed at giving you a fresh view of enterprise. INTRODUCTION Welcome to the seventh issue of TORI Global’s ‘Perspectives’ magazine. Every quarter we cover issues and trends in the business world with insights and interviews from leading professionals in their industry. This time we’re focusing on Digital Disruption. We begin with a witty article from Business Analyst, Oliver Charlton, who has a passion for Blockchain. He discusses its origin and the implications of its future, particularly in the current FinTech arena. Next we have an interview with the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of leading estate agency group, Countrywide, Steve Thomas. We ask him about the impact Digital Disruption is having on the property market and how the role of CTO has changed. Thirdly, Dominic Yacoubian, Digital Marketing Consultant, compares businesses that have ridden the wave of Digital Disruption and those that have drowned in the flood of new technology and change. Following that we have a light-hearted interview where we get up close and personal with our new Head of Cyber Security, Nigel Munden. Find out his desert island discs and what he would be doing if he wasn’t in Cyber Security! The last two articles in this issue are all about payments. The first being a review by Digital expert, Chris Archibald, of PSD2 and Open Banking. Can we compare what’s about to happen to the payments sector to Uber? And finally, TORI helped trial the ‘tap to donate’ bucket-shaking initiative by CLIC Sargent in collaboration with JustGiving. They are looking at how to bring fundraising to the 21st Century by introducing contactless donations and we wanted to get involved! Whether you’re reading this on the tube or in the office, we hope you enjoy a little perspective… Best Wishes Katie Lawton Editor I would love to hear your thoughts so please contact me with any feedback: katie.lawton@toriglobal.com 3
