The Fear of Being Late Is Making Leaders Buy the Wrong Things

Being late is the dominant fear in the mid-market right now. Two in three CEOs say the risk of falling behind has pushed them to buy technology before they understood its value, and half say the pace has left them with piecemeal systems. Here is what being late costs, and an order of operations that protects a budget from its owner's anxiety.

The Vulnerability Didn't Change. The Attacker Did.

With Maria Singh

Most organisations defer some patches and record the decision as an accepted risk. Those decisions assumed that turning a patch into a working exploit took skill and weeks. Anthropic's 2026 evaluations show a model doing it in under an hour for about $2,000 per exploit, and its September threat report describes criminals running exploit research around the clock. Here is how to rewrite the risk register.

How Traditional Finance and DeFi Will Integrate Over the Next Five Years

With Dr. Christina Chua

Banks, exchanges and central banks are moving money and securities onto the same programmable rails that DeFi built. By 2031 the two systems will share settlement, collateral and market mechanisms, with regulated access on top. AI arrives at the same time as customer, attacker, target and supervisor. Here is how the integration will unfold, where AI changes the risk, and what boards and regulators should do now.

What Quantum Computing Means for the Encryption Behind Your AI

With Maria Singh

No quantum computer can break today's public-key encryption yet, but the estimates of what it would take fell twentyfold in a year, and Google now targets 2029 for its own migration. AI systems rest on the same RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography: the links that carry training data, the signatures that vouch for models and the tokens that identify agents. Here is what breaks, what does not, and what boards should do now.

What DBS's S$1 Billion in AI Value Measures, and How a Board Should Read It

DBS reported about S$1 billion in economic value from data analytics and AI in 2025. The figure blends revenue, cost avoidance and losses averted, is measured with control groups, and sits outside the audited accounts. Here is what it counts, what it leaves out, and what a board should demand before quoting its own number.

What the DBS Outages Teach Boards About Technology Risk

Between November 2021 and October 2023 DBS suffered a run of digital outages. MAS responded with about S$1.6 billion in extra capital and a six-month pause on non-essential IT changes. The failures came from the same modernisation that made DBS a leader, and the lesson for boards is to govern technology risk before the pace of change outruns it.

AI Use and the Decline of Human Thinking Skills

Students, developers, knowledge workers and specialist physicians all lose measurable skill when AI does the thinking for them, and the loss shows up within minutes to months. The studies are early and uneven, one headline study has already been retracted, but the direction is consistent. The same studies also show what protects the skill, and none of it requires giving the tools up.

Before You Go

Most of what's on this page started as a note to myself after a project went a way I didn't expect, written mostly so I wouldn't forget the lesson before the next one. I publish the ones that are wrong sometimes too, because pretending every call I've made was right would make this page useless to you. If something here saves you a mistake I already made, that's the whole point of writing it down. Read the one that annoys you most.
