In our latest episode of When Technology Goes Wrong, Paddy sat down with David Pool, our Portfolio Director for Data and AI here at QA, to discuss a different kind of failure—not a catastrophic crash, but a quiet one: the financial sector’s failure to maximise the opportunity presented by the data revolution.
David breaks down the concept of “alpha data”—the kind of unconventional, unstructured data that, when used cleverly, can now give organisations a competitive edge. We talk about how fintechs are outpacing traditional banks by embracing experimentation, agility, and personalisation.
From smart doorbells to sentiment models, from data lakes to legacy systems, this episode is packed with insights on how financial services can stop playing catch-up and start leading the charge.
If you're in the industry—or just curious about how data is reshaping the world of finance—this one’s for you.
