On Feb. 9 the comment period on the final draft regulations for California’s new climate disclosure laws ended. The first deadlines for compliance are coming up later this year — giving investors what they have long sought: standardized, comparable data on companies’ exposure to financially material climate risks.  Pending any changes to the California Air Resources Board’s regulations, the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act and the Climate-related Financial Risk Act will take effect at the end of February. Most companies doing business in California will need to report on their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by August 10.   Enforcement…

6/13/18 2:20 PM · 1 min read This time I’m going to show you a behavioral pattern. Here is a little example of the command design patten written in Swift. The command pattern can be handy if you’d like to provide a common interface for different actions that will be executed later in time. Usually it’s an object that encapsulates all the information needed to run the underlying action properly.Commands are often used to handle user interface actions, create undo managers, or manage transactions. Let’s see a command pattern implementation in Swift by creating a command line argument handler with emojis.…

The AI systems taking shape today aren’t just responding to prompts — they’re taking action. Agentic AI orchestrates workflows, moves data, communicates with other agents, and makes decisions autonomously. This represents a fundamental shift in how technology operates within organizations. And it changes everything about what infrastructure must deliver. When agents act independently and communicate machine-to-machine at scale, the network becomes more than connectivity. It becomes the foundation for trust, performance, and competitive advantage. We believe that the organizations that will thrive in this era will be those that treat infrastructure not as a cost to manage, but as a…

Over the past year, I’ve watched teams roll out increasingly capable AI systems, tooling, and agents, and then struggle to trust, adopt, or scale them. I’d argue that a lot of today’s AI adoption problem starts with how we are framing the shift. “Human-in-the-loop” (often shortened to HITL) has become one of today’s most overhyped buzzwords. Companies and analysts repeat it earnestly to regulators, auditors, and risk teams as a compliance and assurance signal, shorthand for: “don’t worry, this system is not fully autonomous, there is a responsible person who can intervene and monitor.” HITL is also increasingly becoming a…

Papers on agentic and multi-agent systems (MAS) skyrocketed from 820 in 2024 to over 2,500 in 2025. This surge suggests that MAS are now a primary focus for the world’s top research labs and universities. Yet there is a disconnect: While research is booming, these systems still frequently fail when they hit production. Most teams instinctively try to fix these failures with better prompts. I use the term prompting fallacy to describe the belief that model and prompt tweaks alone can fix systemic coordination failures. You can’t prompt your way out of a system-level failure. If your agents are consistently…

Global wealth management is entering a defining phase in 2025-2026 as firms scale their businesses amid rising complexity. Despite favorable market conditions, wealth managers continue to face margin pressure, higher client expectations, and increasing operational costs.

Wealth management remains strategically important for banks due to its stable fee-based revenues and durable client relationships. In response, leading firms are aligning around a common set of priorities that will shape competitive differentiation in the coming years. Reach out to discuss this topic in…
