It is being repeated like mantra – #cyber #threats are reaching levels never seen before. Yet, so far, only 2% of companies have implemented strategic actions against them (according to PwC 2025 Global Digital Trust Insights). At BNP Paribas Bank Polska we take risks seriously – today, at #FinTech and #InsurTech #Digital #Congress, I’ll have the pleasure of sharing why we believe #digital #resilience should become nr 1️⃣ priority to all of us in 2025. See you there! #FintechAndInsurtechDigitalCongress #security #technology #riskmamagement

I am very proud to announce that Forrester, one of the most influential research and advisory firms in the world, has awarded BNP Paribas Bank Polska the 2024 Technology Strategy Impact Award! Let me share just a part of the justification: „BNP Paribas Bank Polska has an incredible story of #redesigning its #IT #organization after multiple mergers and acquisitions, leaving behind some architectural, technological, and process debt to become a #trusted #partner for the business. (…) Its IT strategy (“IT@Scale”) empowers implementing #innovative solutions (such as generative AI tool adoption) and concepts (“Architecture as a Product”), scaling up technology to increase #operational #efficiency and #digital #resilience.” Congrats to all our Teams!

It has become a tradition that IT leaders, selected engineers and many more from Česká spořitelna (this year 150+) join an offsite to network, discuss and learn. This year's main theme is "moving the bank to the cloud" as this is one of the company initiatives lead by Andrej Šimkovič and his great teams. During the official talks we've heard about the strategy aspects of this initiative followed by the project roadmap and why/how this will impact many (thanks for the transparency Jiří Nácovský and Martin Tomasek). The colleagues from this cloud platform team have shared the structure of adopted services and regions of our main cloud provider Azure and shared an introduction about how we leverage Terraform and git-ops with the prepared terraform providers (great talk Roman Vocel and Jan Pucherna). Part of their talk was dedicated to the inmportant aspects of finops as the cost is always essential for the ROI of every initiative. Followed an excellent case study from the Corporate tribe lead by Pavel Betak where they started moving to the cloud before this new initiative even started and are the early adopters with strong software engineering practice based on "bringing real value" over playing with cool tech. Now they have a unique experience and scale others can learn from. Their platform team is awesome (Martin Slanina, Martin Patočka and others whose names I forgot, sorry for that). ... and more things are coming as there are news from the DevOps platform team to be shared (Jakub Bartyzal and his great team with Pavel Krulec, Tomas Jenicek, Marek Uhlík and more whose full names I don't remember), information about how we leverage AI in the cloud and to support upskilling a new internal Cloud Academy will be kickstarted (Adriana Rašovcová). ... and in the afternoon/evening some networking during sports and a party. It's great that a company knows the power of informal meetups where members from various teams can share and learn together. Just ❤️ that this tradition is still alive.

Historically, financial institutions have been building IT systems year over year with a focus on new applications, seldom replacing or sunsetting them. This results in high complexity and a challenge to maintain banks’ IT landscape, not only in terms of costs but also knowledge. Pure migration projects tend to become more expensive than originally planned and are often delayed. Therefore, the risk appetite for one-to-one replacements has become lower in recent years and the pressure to modernize IT landscapes has increased beyond core banking.

You Rock finQbit (Techstars'23) ! That was massive inspiration for Alior Bank SA in very innovative Quantum computing topic. We will deep dive and analyse possible use cases in banking - I am sure that such real innovation could be implemented in banking sector! Alior Bank is innovative! #AliorIT #Bank #innovation #transformation

A simple view of how cycle time, rather than velocity, provides a realistic reflection of reality. Better decision-making and, most importantly, data-driven predictions.

Today, Moneta received some upgrades for better modularization. Its memory will be divided into several segments; one part is time-dependent, and the other is time-independent. This way, it will store information with less noise. It also has an online memory extension module, which I can dynamically manipulate to turn on and off topics based on the field of the question. I have moved the separate apps to dockerized containers, so operation and development will be more straightforward. The next plan is an Autogen-based multi-model operation, which can utilize field specialist models based on the question. #MyAIJourney

🌍 Building disciplined agility and resilience in business transformation – An Inspiring roundtable meeting with Beth Ouellette moderated by Puneet Sharma 🌟 I had the pleasure of attending an exceptional session organized by Helprise, PMI Poland Chapter, ABSL where we explored how to develop disciplined agility and build organizational resilience in the face of constant disruption and change. During this inspiring session, we discussed: 🔹 Why every transformation starts with a clear goal and a well-thought-out strategy. 🔹 The importance of engaging leaders and employees at all levels of the organization. 🔹 How "change advocates" can play a crucial role in overcoming resistance and inspiring others. 🔹 The delicate balance between innovation and stability to achieve long-term sustainability. 💡 The most thought-provoking moment for me was Beth's statement: "Most of the time we are victim of the change not the creator of the change" – a powerful reminder of the importance of proactively shaping our business reality instead of merely reacting to changes. A big thank you to the speakers and participants for the great exchange of ideas and practical insights. 🚀 #Leadership #Agility #Transformation #PMI #ChangeManagement #ContinuousImprovement #BethOuellette #PuneetSharma #PMIPoland #Helprise #ABSL

Multi-factor authentication is always a good idea! A good practice to keep in mind: Whenever a website, device, or application offers multi-factor authentication, click yes ☑️ #Cybersecurity #NBCteam

I am excited to share that I have successfully passed the Professional Agile Leadership I (PAL I) certification from Scrum.org. This certification validates that I am a leader who understands the value Agile can bring to a business and how to actively practice Agile. It also demonstrates my knowledge of why leadership support of agile teams is essential to achieving organizational agility and what leaders can do to support their teams to help them achieve higher performance.

🚀 Interesting insights. I like the "everything as code" approach for policies and directives! Peter Drosos, Michael Stehr Athanasios Stergiou Christophe Gévaudan have you or your teams ever been approached by compliance to manage policies/directives in source code repositories like for example Gitlab? Or heard of it within your network? Curious if this is North star mode or somewhat more materialized..... Anyway, enjoyed listening the course. „Gerade abgeschlossen: „Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) for the Cloud-Native Revolution“. Auch interessiert?
