Alyned Thinking

In our preparation for 2021, we reflected back on conversations that we'd had in the market, analysed industry trends, discussed pain points and more. We asked ourselves, what new challenges are organisations facing that were maybe not there before? Where does Alyne's product capabilities have the best natural fit in all of this? On a high level, learn more about some of the factors that led us to define our theme for the year: Meaningful Risk Insight for Sustainable Business Growth.

Testing for China's CBDC (Central-Bank Digital Currency), the digital yuan, began earlier this month, which means that we can safely expect to see the world’s first sovereign digital currency rolled out later this year.

Effective Risk Management is all about identifying, evaluating and prioritising risks. If 2020 has proven something is that unpredictability and change is certain. When you map out scenarios in order to prepare your contingency plans, you need to ideate out not just the obvious choices of ‘what could go wrong’, but instead determine your response to many different and extreme turn of events that could take place. In this blog article we take a look at this past 2020, to realise how far we have come and how much is yet to be done but above all, to understand how fast scenarios can change: both within your organisation or on a global scale.
