The Power of Quantified Creativity

By Ciaran McKivergan, CEO and founding partner at 8909 We live in a data-driven world, with more information – and therefore more insights – available than at any point in human history. So why aren’t we using that data to create better… everything?

When I was studying Psychology and Media Studies, I learned that in academic writing, you can only claim or state something if it is backed by research. When I started advertising, I assumed that all strategies were being developed in the same way – but that turned out to be a false assumption. That insight led to the development o...

Therefore, the willingness to offer such exceptional services became paramount, leading to the emergence of private financial institutions in Somalia. A decade ago, a group of Somali businesspeople started financial institutions in Somalia to provide commercial financial services to the Somali people for the first time after the collapse of Somalia’s central government in 1991, the experience of serving commercial loans was new and challenging.
