Open Banking is the term given to the process by which bank customers are being given greater control over their money.
In practice, this is achieved by the customers themselves – as opposed to the banks – having ownership of, and therefore the power to control, their data.
With the customer’s permission, third parties can then access the data, potentially offering them other – more relevant – services.
Please watch and share this video from the City of London, which explains Open Banking in more detail.
Voices of Progress is our latest inquiry. We co-sponsored an event – All Our Futures – at Bootham School in York on June 11th 2018, in which sixth formers listened to a group of speakers, each of whom presented a vision of the future.
Subject matters that were touched upon included: the exponential growth of technologies such as AI; the environment and the circular economy; health and wellbeing; work and careers; and the unpredictability of geo-politics.
Afterwards, the pupils were asked to put together a new syllabus that reflected the changes they had heard about and might better prepare future schoolchildren for an ever-changing world.
Meanwhile, we asked those taking part what progress means to them. We are now extending our inquiry to a much wider cross-section of the population, with the aim of understanding whether the very notion of progress has changed, or is changing.

Tomorrow’s Company interviewed Dame Helen Alexander to talk about the positive impact the Hampton-Alexander and Davies Review have had on increasing diversity in the boardroom.
Following our members’ discussion event on 25th January 2017 with Sir Stuart Hampson, former Chairman of The Crown Estate and John Lewis Partnership, we interviewed Sir Stuart to get his insight on the relationship between different organisational forms and the contribution a company makes to society.
Radical change in the boardroom is needed to restore the public’s trust in business and to tackle attitudes of short-termism. This report, commissioned by the All-Party Parliamentary Corporate Governance Group (APPCGG) stresses that the answer to low public trust, productivity and growth is the same: encouraging and supporting companies to deploy capital in pursuit of a purpose that benefits society and shareholders.
