“The Unintended Consequences of Technology” While we have seen unparalleled innovation in the 21st century, we have also witnessed the damaging unintended consequences of technology. The very word āunintendedā suggests consequences that we simply cannot envisage, hard as we may try. Our natural limit in predicting the future implies there may not be much we can practically do in advance. Are these unintended consequences inevitable, are they a necessary cost of human progress, or, can we anticipate and mitigate them? On May 11thĀ Eliot Heilpern, Partnership Director ofĀ The Payments Business and Academy (www.thepaymentsbusiness.com),Ā a Banking and Network Membership Forum, will share his personal take on this topic at: The Army and Navy Club (https://therag.co.uk) To register your attendance, please enter the following Link: orĀ cut and pasteĀ the Link into yourĀ Browser. Eliot will cover both the positive and negative sides of the rapid growth of sophisticated technology, touching upon ways to preserve and maintain the strong positive impact it has, as well as highlighting the need for āresponsible technology;ā that is one that offers features and benefits that provide collective assistance and value to all society. Eliotās experience in International Banking, Cash Management, Risk, Global Markets, Regulatory matters both in the UK and overseas, and his former CEO role in the “Not-for-Profit” sector, has given him the opportunity to question and raise issues that society now faces; largely due to technological advancements across our commercial and social environment. This thought-provoking topic has very wide implications; and not just for the banking industry. Eliot is profoundly concerned that the ever-relentless march of technology is producing a ādistanceā between those that make the decisions and the ācustomersā with regards to the development of ever-more sophisticated technology. The āinterestsā of the end consumer is often ignored. A āduty of careā can be lost. The 2008 banking crash was one example whereĀ too fewĀ at the top thought about āriskā and damage to their customers and employees. This presentation offers an insightful opportunity to challenge and determine if such consequences can be prevented, and whether the technical innovators should be held accountable and responsible; as well as learn how together we can deploy Best Business Practise,Ā in order to utilise these consequences to oneās advantage.

Heilpern Partnership Director The Payments Business and Academy in conjunction with the Army and Navy Club, and support from Transformation-Leaders.Com (www.transformation-leaders.com)Ā look forward to seeing you at this event, and giving you a warm welcome.
