Hamlet’s soliloquy, in the Shakespearean play that bears his name, essentially questions the value of life. “To be, or not to be, that is the question”, he begins as he waxes lyrical about our powerlessness: that living is a passive state, subject to the whims of fortune; and dying an active one whereby we reclaim our control. Yet, potent as his melancholic speech is, I proffer an alternative to our […]
Customer Data Platforms (CDP) are on the rise. Perhaps you are even one of the 78% of surveyed companies that the 2018 Forbes Report identified as having or in the process of developing a CDP.

In 1929, Hungarian author Frigyes Karinthy proposed the concept of six degrees of separation: “that any two individuals could be connected through at most five acquaintances”. This idea grew from a belief that the modern world was “shrinking” due to advances in travel and communication, which meant that friendship networks were expanding. And this was decades before Facebook! Academics, from mathematicians to psychologists have explored this hypothesis in relation to […]
“I can’t see you, so you can’t see me!” Do you remember that childhood misconception? The idea that if you close your eyes then you’re invisible. Unfortunately, fraudsters are not that naïve and nor are you. So when it comes to fraud just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there. In a data rich environment with millions of transactions a day, it’s all too easy for criminals […]
