The vast majority of startups digital transformation programmes fail despite having both time and money, energy and resources. Why to answer this question the book amasses interviews and case studies from within big corporates and successful startups as well as industry observers, regulators, commentators and practitioners.
"Becoming great at what you do sounds like a good idea, but it turns out to be really hard. This is your cheat sheet for becoming great in this industry. As a professional, as an organisation. As a leader. Follow the Leda."
—Simon Taylor, Author of Fintech Brainfood and Head of Strategy and Content at Sardine

"This book will make you think and rethink, it might even change your life. Delivered by an industry practitioner who has shaped and delivered change for decades across financial services, with a focus on people and culture. With wonderful storytelling and no nonsense reflections, it’s a straight talking ‘guide’ for anyone who is starting out or has been here for years."—Lou Smith, Chair of Innovate Finance and Stripe UK

"Success in entrepreneurship demands resilience, relentless effort, and a willingness to embrace and enjoy every day of the journey. This path isn't for the faint of heart, but for those bold enough to tread it, the stories within these pages offer invaluable lessons from those who have walked before you."—Zor Gorelov, Founder of Kasisto

Is success pattern based? Is the journey of successfully building new digital ventures in financial services (either from scratch or in the context of reforming a going concern) predictable enough to be repeatable? Beyond Resilience: Patterns of Success in Fintech and Digital Transformation asks these questions and seeks answers among the people who have first-hand experience of building new things and who live to tell the tale.

Filled with interviews from leading fintech entrepreneurs and practitioners, this book strives to tell the whole truth about building new things. It shares the stories of leaders who admit that as they built their businesses, they learned a lot, changed a lot, and made mistakes and had to course-correct. The book attests that leading new fintech ventures or digital transformations, whether they are started with a blank sheet of paper or within an established entity, is hard and unpredictable. It requires control. It requires consistency and integrity. It requires standing strong, ideally not alone but with a team of equally strong leaders.
