Banking, Money and International Finance

The emergence of financial technologies has unlocked a myriad of possibilities for reshaping governance systems, from the grassroots level of micro-governance to the broader scope of national and transnational governance. This book thoroughly examines the significant impact of cutting-edge financial technology on enhancing worldwide access to financial services. In an era marked by persistent governance challenges, it highlights the transformative potential of AI-driven solutions in fostering more equitable economic participation. Overcoming traditional banking barriers to serve underserved and unbanked communities, the book investigates the fourth wave of fintech innovation depicted by AI, blockchain technologies and decentralized systems. The book begins by presenting the fundamentals of digital innovation, particularly emphasising the transformative role of AI-powered financial tools in improving banking experiences for various global communities. It emphasizes the role of digital payment platforms in bridging the gap between urban and rural populations, as well as the way blockchain technology and smart contracts are setting new benchmarks for transaction security and transparency. Its primary focus is on the strategies for overcoming financial exclusion. Cybersecurity compliance, ethical AI, data governance, and regulatory coordination are considered essential for creating trustworthy digital financial systems. Additionally, it thoroughly examines the alternative credit scoring methods that use non-traditional data to transform lending and presents the opportunities and challenges that will shape the future of finance, with a particular emphasis on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), sustainable blockchain solutions, and artificial intelligence collaborations. For scholars, researchers and policymakers working to create a more accessible and sustainable financial future, the book offers a thorough overview of the state of inclusive fintech today and a predictive outlook on how technology can promote global economic equity.

Financial Innovation for Inclusive and Equitable Digital Economies

Curiosity transforms fear in to a question, and a question into progress. Curiosity is today's superpower. In times of profound upheaval and uncertainty, it enables us to evolve and to gain control of our lives and organisations. We are witnessing increasingly fractious times economically and politically, but when we lean into curiosity rather than recoil in panic or freeze in fear, something powerful happens: we begin to learn. Learning isn't about accumulating facts, information or even simply knowledge, it's about building the capacity to adapt. The skills we need today- empathy, creativity, collaboration - aren't mastered in order to subsequently be forgotten; they grow and evolve through the practice of curiosity. Each question we ask becomes a tool for navigating uncertainty, change and evolution. In Curiosity: Nurturing your Superpower for Discovery, Joy and Success acclaimed public speaker and bestselling author Richard Gerver unifies his decades of experience in education, change, leadership and innovation to show you how you can ignite your curiosity and realise your full potential. With his unique insight into our development from infants to adults, Gerver helps us understand the nature of our personal and professional responses to risk, change, creativity and development and how, by rediscovering our childish curiosity, we can regain a sense of control over our lives and those we impact both personally and professionally. From opening ourselves up to failure and looking foolish, to the power of mentorship in modelling inquisitiveness, this book illustrates how curiosity is not just how we grow, it's how we connect, how we solve and how we heal. Curiosity is how we remember what it means to be human in an age of Artificial Intelligence, machines and metrics. Curiosity won't just save us all - it will help us finally understand who we can still become.

The Change Most Companies Get Wrong Most change efforts fail for the same reason. Leaders pour their energy into the process and overlook the people who have to carry it out. New software gets installed and new workflows get drawn up, and within weeks the team drifts back to the old way of doing things. Allan Breidenbach spent more than a decade building a better way. As president of a seventy-year-old, employee-owned manufacturer, he created the RATCHET-UP system, a nine-step method that puts people at the center of every change. In RATCHET-UP, you will learn how to: <ul> <li>Earn the standing and trust that make real change possible</li> <li>Get a team genuinely aligned instead of just nodding along</li> <li>Recognize where technology helps and where it only adds friction</li> <li>Spot and address the people quietly undermining progress</li> <li>Measure profit in more than dollars</li> </ul> Filled with real stories from the shop floor and free of consultant jargon, this book gives leaders in any industry a clear, practical way to make change that lasts.

We are running our lives, teams, and organizations as though our resources are unlimited. They are not. Regenerative People names the cost of that assumption and offers a different way to work, lead, and live. Drawing on six decades of combined coaching and consulting experience, Janet M. Harvey and Silvia Tassarotti trace the shift from extraction to regeneration--from optimizing outcomes to evolving with them, from controlling uncertainty to partnering with it, and from isolating to protect what we have to interconnecting with what sustains us. Regenerative People moves through four expanding circles: the personal renewal that makes all of this possible, the leadership practices that build resilient teams, the organizational models that generate long-term value rather than short-term extraction, and the community-level shifts that make regeneration collective rather than individual. Each chapter pairs concepts with reflective questions and practices, inviting readers to slow down and apply what they're learning rather than simply collect more ideas. The authors write as guides, not lecturers, walking alongside readers the way Virgil walked beside Dante, offering models and questions in search of the reader's own answers. For coaches, executives, and anyone who senses that the old operating model is reaching its limits, this book offers both the diagnosis and the practice: a way to notice drift before it costs something irreplaceable and to deliberately choose a more enduring way to lead.

Regenerative People: Why Renewal Is Key to Lasting Leadership

Great leaders aren't shaped by a title. They're shaped by a moment. A moment that changes not just what they do, but how they lead. This is THE UNLOCK MOMENT. Drawing on his own leadership journey, executive coach and podcast host Dr. Gary Crotaz explores the inner shift that separates outward success from truly grounded leadership. Interweaving stories from CEOs, entrepreneurs, athletes, and the many thinkers he has coached, Gary offers a clear, human framework for recognizing the moments that make us who we are. At the heart of The Unlock Moment: The Inner Shift That Changes How You Lead are five essential Keys--Self, Trust, Presence, Growth, and Impact--that shape how real innovators think, decide, and lead when it matters most. By cutting through the ambiguity to make decisions with conviction, you will find your leadership aplomb and learn to lead in a way that is authentic, not performative. This is not a book about getting people to follow you. It's a book about becoming the kind of leader people choose to follow . . . and the moments that unlock how you lead.

The Unlock Moment: The Inner Shift That Changes How You Lead

Are digital technologies really a silver bullet for development in the Global South?


Digital technologies are supposed to solve the challenges of climate change, projected population growth, land conflicts and food insecurity, especially in rural areas. Yet NGOs, government institutions, and private companies are increasingly adopting a trial-and-error approach as they recognize the limitations of transferring Western science and technologies to the global South.
 
This book presents the ambivalent practices and implications of digital pilot projects which aim to 'develop' both farming communities and locally adapted innovations in East Africa. Inspired by laboratory ethnographies in Science and Technology Studies, it explores the practices of testing and developing digital technologies in rural Tanzania. The multi-sited ethnography, which takes in agricultural fairs, conferences, documents, online courses, tech hubs, project offices, villages and fields, centres on three case studies, namely DAST (a digital land-formalisation tool), STAS (an AI system for agricultural productivity) and iPlus (an e-extension tool). Rather than viewing these technologies simply as welcome tools to promote connectivity, empowerment and increased production - as commonly advanced in development policy - this book foregrounds the (un)intended consequences of the planning, set-up, maintenance and results of digital pilot projects. Against the backdrop of conflicting logics between testing technologies and developing Tanzanian agriculture through them, this book considers their (un)predictable impacts on new actors, the character of development and the trial communities in rural Tanzania.

Essential rental forms, including a legally-compliant lease that you can tailor to your state's laws and your business's needs. Small residential landlords face the choice of hiring expensive lawyers to write leases and forms, or buying generic forms online. Here is an alternative: A lease and associated forms that, when used in conjunction with the law charts in the back of the book, result in leases and agreements that will pass legal muster. Don't guess at the law--use Nolo's resources to get it right.

Despite the recognized significance of projectification, the empirical quantification of its extent remains limited and methodologically diverse. By employing a systematic literature review (SLR) procedure, the study identifies the existing studies that focus on the quantitative measurement of projectification. This method-based review examines existing methods to measure projectification, critically analyses methodological approaches, and assesses their overall quality using the AXIS tool. The analysis reveals considerable variance in reporting, stratification criteria, sampling procedures, sample size and a gap in the handling of non-responses, highlighting the need for standardized measurement frameworks to enhance comparability, reliability, validity, and replicability. Moreover, the detailed analysis of Total Survey Error components with confidence intervals and sample representativeness reexamination indicated that projectification saturation might be more prevalent than previously claimed. We provide a new definition of projectification and propose a framework to improve the methodology of projectification measurement studies, including standardized reporting guidelines that aim to encourage similar measurements in other countries. More importantly, the book provides key takeaways for the business community by answering the fundamental questions: what to measure, how to collect the data and how to report those.

Across clinics, classrooms, city halls, and financial systems, women continue doing the uncredited work of governing AI: deciding when systems can be trusted, paused, refused, and repaired. Governing the Default names this work as relational governance, demonstrating how leaders can turn critique of AI's extractive norms into operational practice. Bringing together industry and academic contributors, the volume reframes organizational care as governance designed into decision rights, feedback loops, oversight, and repair. Its copy-ready practices help leaders, educators, and policymakers replace opaque defaults with consent-first, benefit-sharing, repair-ready systems.
