Adapting to change: CEO of The Royal Mint addresses Cardiff Business Club

Cardiff Business Club marked the last event of its 2023/24 season with insights on change, diversification and authenticity as Anne Jessopp CBE, CEO and Deputy Master of the Mint at The Royal Mint, addressed the Club.

At the event sponsored by Hugh James, Jessopp discussed the recent redevelopment that the Mint has undergone since her appointment in 2018, and following the 35% decline in coin usage through the pandemic.

Highlighting the change in society and industry by asking attendees to raise their hands if they had used coins today, this week, or this month, she went on to say that they have been redefining what it means to be a Mint, building a portfolio of businesses with a £1.9 billion revenue annually.

Before delving into the Mint’s change, she discussed her personal change, from a career in HR to becoming CEO of The Royal Mint. Anne Jessopp stated: “The Royal Mint was like a teenager deciding what to do when it grew up.” To diversify its offering, they had to understand what made the organisation unique, understand the core values held by employees and customers, and understand the capabilities they have, along with those they don’t.

By implementing these steps, The Royal Mint has diversified in absolute marketplaces through product innovation, such as precious metals investments and collectables, and grown into new markets entirely. Jessopp discussed their partnership with Canadian clean tech company Excir, to scale up patented chemistry to extract gold from electronic waste, and their new jewellery line, where their recovered gold is already being used.

She closed by highlighting the importance of job retention through their period of diversification and change, as the organisation will decommission its Overseas Currency business later this year. All 230 employees have been offered new roles in their new industries, be it in the jewellery making section, collectable coin creation, or electronic waste recycling. She stated that people are the most important part of a business, discussing those open to change and those who push against it, but highlighted the importance of them all when it comes to a period of redevelopment.

Anne rounded off by highlighting their overarching goal – to remain authentic to who they are throughout the transformation.

Cardiff Business Club will return for its new season in the autumn.

LONDON, United Kingdom – World Coffee Alliance (WCA), a leading network alliance of coffee industry professionals and stakeholders, producing critical insights including market research, due diligence reports and technical advice to the actors in the global coffee value chain, will hold Episode Two of the WCA TECHNOCOFFEE INNOVATION SERIES: DEMYSTIFYING BIG DATA IN COFFEE virtual event on Wednesday 27 July 2022 from 2:00-5:00 pm BST (UK time)/9:00 am-12:00 EDT.

Joseph de Villiers, CEO and Founder of World Coffee Alliance (WCA) said, “As ever, I am delighted to announce that our Keynote for Episode 2 of our WCA Trilogy in Digital Traceability – Big data virtual event is Vanusia Nogueira, Executive Director, International Coffee Organization (ICO). I believe that with her vast experience in the private sector, she will bring new impetus and energy to the global coffee industry and will provide a dynamic leadership with a vision that can hopefully bring some real and meaningful changes where needed.”

Vanusia commented, “I am delighted to be the Keynote for WCA Trilogy in Digital Traceability – Big Data virtual event. Big data plays a very important role in the sustainability and traceability of the global coffee value chain. However, in the end, question will be whether coffee producers and consumers can benefit from the use of this technology and how it can help mitigate or enable adaptive measure to address Climate change, specifically deforestation.”

Other confirmed speakers include David Davies, CEO and Founder, AgUnity (Inspirational Speaker), Cees Homburg, CEO, FarmersDirectCoffee (Solution Provider Speaker), James McKay, Principal and Founder, McKay Research (Moderator), Paul Rooke, Executive Director, British Coffee Association (BCA), Dr. Memoona J. Anwar, Chief Compliance and Innovation Officer, Data Zoo, Helen Bellfield, Trase Deputy Director, Global Canopy, Peter Kettler, Senior Advisor, International Trade Centre (Moderator), Dr Aaron Davis, Senior Research Leader, Crops and Global Change, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew., Jade Saunders, Senior Policy analyst and Board member, World Forest ID, Priya Guliani, UK Pre sident, Government Blockchain Association (GBA).

Sponsors for this event include AgUnity (Episode Sponsor) and FarmersDirectCoffee (Solution Provider Sponsor). David Davies, CEO and Founder, AgUnity commented, “Did you know that most of the world’s coffee is grown by largely invisible micro-farmers? Current traceability occurs with big farms, but many small farms are left out. Collecting data from them is extremely difficult, resulting in millions of missing data points. We can solve this issue by tracking data from the source. However, with micro-farmers living in remote regions without connectivity, the challenge must first be addressed by enabling digital inclusion of the last mile, alongside the coffee industry following a path of standardised data acquisition. I look forward to inspiring the coffee industry on how this is possible.”

Cees Homburg, CEO, FarmersDirectCoffee: “Thank you for the opportunity to present at the WCA Big data virtual event. Our Coffee Coalition makes the coffee chain traceable and more transparent. With this initiative, farmers are co-owners. Using open source blockchain technology, a CO2 calculator, and the FarmersApp, we add value to data for the entire chain.”

Big data is the main topic for Episode 2 of WCA Trilogy in Digital Traceability. The areas of discussion will include its impact on the coffee supply chain and Climate change. Big data has an increasingly pivotal role in e-commerce and coffee retail, developing new methods of tracking and delivering orders, and maintaining compliance. The event will also focus on the role of big data in identifying some of the critical issues in mitigating Climate change, especially in deforestation cases, where they require urgent action.

The British Coffee Association (BCA) our event partner. Paul Rooke, Executive Director of BCA said, “BCA Is happy to support WCA in this virtual Big data event particularly with regard to its impact on the supply chain and the role it can play in delivering a sustainable coffee future. Increasing data volumes can give us all more precise knowledge and information to support the whole coffee community whether that be in better informing consumer choice, building best practice information for the producer or streamlining and enhancing the movement and production of the coffee – all to ensure we can continue to grow and enjoy this special beverage.”

Faculty launches “Frontier” to drive better organisational decision making

  • New decision intelligence software to help solve supply chain crisis
  • Business leaders able to see what will happen in their organisation and why
  • Faculty CEO: current decision making methods “not fit for purpose”

Businesses will benefit from better decision-making after AI firm Faculty launched new technology showing executives what will happen in their organisation and why.

“Frontier” is decision intelligence software that describes what is happening in an organisation, predicts what will happen, and prescribes what they should do next

This means a manufacturing business will know not only how much stock they need to service their customers, but also avoid having too much cash tied up in inventory, or too many old products when there is a new one ready to ship.

Commenting on Frontier’s launch (18 May), Faculty CEO Marc Warner said:

“The ways decisions are made today are out of date, prone to error, and not fit for purpose.

“Decision intelligence is a new category of technology, helping organisations see the best course of action and drive high performance.

“The world is increasingly uncertain and complex, which is why now is the perfect time to launch this product and help organisations make better decisions.”

The product comes as supply chains across the world struggle to manage customer demand due to uncertainty caused by the pandemic, war in Ukraine, the energy crisis and raw material shortages. This is exacerbated by outdated forecasting methods.

According to Gartner®, 65% of decisions made are more complex (involving more stakeholders or choices) than they were two years ago[1]. Furthermore, according to the Gartner 2021 Reengineering the Decision survey, 47% of respondents expect their decisions to become more complex in the next 18 months[2].

Frontier brings together both human and machine intelligence, as well as internal and external data, and existing software and systems to provide a complete view of an organisation from top to bottom.

Faculty Frontier is the culmination of years of research and development in the Faculty Research Lab, and hundreds of custom builds for customers.

The company has worked with one of the world’s largest food manufacturers and a global medical device company, among others, to forecast supply chain demands and mitigate disruption.

Frontier is already being used in the NHS to forecast and manage demand for both elective care and in A&E, and Faculty believes now is the right time to launch the product to help firms deal with the supply chain crisis and global volatility.

Frontier integrates into existing systems and processes, and the results are clear and easy for users at all levels to interpret. Frontier is cloud-agnostic, enabled via Faculty’s partnerships with AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, and is able to integrate seamlessly with existing data and software platforms such as Snowflake, Salesforce, Oracle, Databricks, and more.

It brings a robust scientific approach to decision-making, helping an organisation observe, understand, decide and act. It is this loop that allows for continuous learning and improvement, through both human and machine learning.

It also allows organisations to scenario-plan without disrupting their day to day operations, so they can see the likelihood of the outcome before making a decision. This ability to know what will happen before putting it into action is game-changing for organisations, who are struggling with rising costs and a global talent shortage.

The move comes as Faculty continues to grow after it raised £30 million in growth funding from the Apax Digital Fund last May. The company now has over 200 staff and has recently moved to a new office in East London. Staff numbers are projected to double in the next year, with revenue continuing to grow significantly.

One of the most well-known examples of Faculty’s predictive technology was in the NHS, helping both clinicians and senior managers make decisions about where to allocate resources in the pandemic. This has recently been rolled out and is now available across all A&E departments too.
