Last night, our team came together for an evening of fun, laughter, and meaningful conversations at our Games Night in support of Men's Mental Health. We had a great selection of board games, card games, and, of course, chess, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy. The night was filled with friendly competition and great camaraderie. But beyond the games and snacks, the true highlight was the chance to have open and honest conversations about mental health. It's essential to create environments where we can discuss these important topics freely and support each other. #MensMentalHealth #GamesNight #TeamBuilding #MentalHealthAwareness #StrongerTogether #CompanyCulture

We are excited to announce that our global MD, Rory Gaston, is presenting at this week's Private Equity International Operating Partners Forum in Napa. He will be joined by Karina Sobieski & Michael Kingston to discuss building and developing high-performance teams alongside other topics.
Group Managing Director at Saragossa - building high performing technology teams in the financial sector
I'm really looking forward to the upcoming #PEI conference speaking with Karina Sobieski and Michael Kingston. We'll be discussing "Building and developing high performing teams" and exploring topics including; - The importance of diversity in building a high performance culture - Ensuring the right leadership is in place - Measuring success and performance I've spent some time with both of the speakers preparing for the conference and knowing their style in a work setting, I'm confident there will be some great takeaways for the audience. As a bonus, the conference is located in Napa, it would be hard to beat that as a backdrop.

Our next installment of Inside the Industry comes from Harry Snozwell exploring the pros and cons of using big 4 consultancies to deliver technical change within finance. #bigfour #technology #transformation
After recent conversations with clients and industry connections, it has become evident to me that there must be a more effective way to implement digital change within financial organisations than relying on Big Four consultancy firms. If you're a Transformation Leader experiencing similar difficulties to those outlined in the below article I'd love to hear your thoughts. Similarly, if you would be interested in hearing more about Saragossa's 'Component' product, get in touch.
