  • Working-with-External-Vendors--Risk-Management-and-Best-Practices
    Denis Oproescu - 24 Feb 2025
    External vendor risk falls into six categories: limited visibility into the work, misalignment with business goals, cost and scope drift, security and compliance exposure, lock-in through undocumented systems and, since 2025, provenance risk in AI-assisted code. The first five are managed through contracts, defined KPIs, milestone-based payment and documented knowledge transfer. The sixth is newer and most buyers are not yet asking about it. Third-party involvement in breaches reached 48% of all breaches in the 2026 Verizon DBIR, up from 30% the year before, which makes vendor governance a board-level concern rather than a procurement detail.
  • Balancing Innovation and Stability in Digital Product Expansion
    Razvan Cozma - 17 Feb 2025
    Innovation drives growth, keeps your product competitive, and helps you adapt to changing market demands. But in a corporate environment, stability is just as crucial—your systems need to stay reliable, secure, and scalable while you introduce new features. The challenge is moving fast without breaking what already works—pushing boundaries while keeping the foundation solid.

    The fintech industry is shifting fast, but not every so-called trend is worth your attention. AI, embedded finance, and compliance automation aren’t just flashy buzzwords anymore—they’re real technologies driving efficiency, security, and growth. Leading financial institutions are already seeing 40% productivity gains from AI-driven automation, while private markets and nonbank financial players are scaling at record speed.

  • How to Successfully Develop an MVP in a Corporate Environment
    Razvan Cozma - 20 Jan 2025
    A corporate MVP is a question rather than a small product, and in 2026 the expensive part of answering it is no longer the build. AI-assisted development made first versions fast to produce, while the path from a working version to something live got harder: 30% of attempts to merge changes into production now fail, the worst rate in over five years. Inside a large organisation, the MVP has to clear security review, data protection assessment, AI Act classification and platform integration before it reaches a user. Planning for that path, rather than for the build, is what separates a corporate pilot that ships from one that quietly expires.
  • Razvan Cozma - 13 Jan 2025
    Securing internal resources is one of the biggest hurdles for corporate innovation leaders. While having a groundbreaking idea is a critical first step, turning that idea into reality requires more than just enthusiasm—it requires funding, time, and support from within the organization. However, with competing priorities, budget constraints, and departmental silos, convincing decision-makers to allocate resources to your project can feel like an uphill battle.

The real challenge lies in convincing decision-makers to back it. You need more than passion; you need a rock-solid business case that ties your vision to measurable value for the company.
