Begin with the end in mind
The work on implementing the Trust Infrastructure in Europe is now going into high gear. Today's Open Wallet Foundation and Findynet meetings and last weeks FIDES Plugfest - just to mention a few - show that the progress is real.
The benefits for Society at large, every citizen and organisation have from the outset made it clear that remaining issues must be ironed out fast. Can anything be even nearly as important than the leaps on offer: in productivity, security, service levels, privacy, ethical and productive AI, fight against cyber crime and the Single Market. Anything coming near? If not - now is the time for public-private action of never-before seen magnitude.
So what should I think about at work - in any organisation?
1. What are the business events where I need verified data? Securely in the same way from all public and private sectors sources - without need for technical integrations and contracts.
2. What data do I need to send to the public sector, customers, suppliers, staff and owners? Where do I obtain it? Securely in the same way to all needing it - without need for technical integrations and contracts.
3. Which de-facto EUDI-interoperable agent (wallet) should I choose (72 listed in Open Wallet Foundation - tens for organisations) in my roles as (i) holder (asking for data), (ii) issuer (issuing data) or (iii) verifier (getting data from holder wallets) ? Many organisation wallets can serve all three roles.
4. Do I need to integrate the chosen agent/wallet to my CRM systems? Smaller organisations do not need it upfront and smaller volumes can be handled by back-offices - at least to begin with. If it is a must - how soon can it be done? Need for reprioritisation is obvious. Even if the integration of standardised wallets will be a routine.
5. How much work is needed to change my receiving and sending data processes? How much can sending and receiving batches be improved by getting identity wallet support? How much batches can stay where they are and be replaced by a credential in structured form?
6. Should I join industry or service specific groups looking after rulebooks in sometimes needed ecosystems building on the Trust Infrastrucure?
7. What are the things and applications that my organisation is controlling? When is the time right to provide them with empowering and controlling identity wallets?
Now is the time to begin with the end (all have wallets for all verified data) - not the time for sitting on hands. Especially not in public sector organisations.

Bruno Fernandes makes transfer admission after turning down move to Saudi Arabia and opting to stay at Man United
Bruno Fernandes has made an admission regarding the transfer speculation that surrounded his future earlier this summer before he opted to committ his future to Manchester United. Fernandes, 30, was subject to an enormous £200million bid from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal - who were prepared to offer the Portuguese midfielder a tax-free contract in the region of £700,000-a-week plus bonuses. Now, he has made a frank statement about why decided to stay in Manchester despite the offer of a more lucrative move elsewhere. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: 'I haven't fulfilled my dreams here yet. 'I think I can still give something to the club. I think I'm still in a position where I'm helpful so the thing for me is that I will be here until the club decides that ''Bruno, it's time to go''. 'Obviously, I know it was tough on the club to decide that because it was a big amount of money that the club hasn't got probably since Cristiano [Ronaldo] left, he was the last one where they got so much money for a player. Al-Hilal were prepared to meet any financial demand that Fernandes wanted but his desire to stay at the highest level overruled all. 'It was a very ambitious proposal,' he added. 'The president was a fantastic person. We never discussed the amount [initially]. With my agent? Of course. 'Then, I spoke to my wife and family, and she asked me what my personal goals were in my career. She was someone who always supported me a lot. 'It was an easy move, even at a family level. I had Joao Cancelo there, my children are used to playing with him in the national team, we have a great friendship. 'But I want to maintain myself at the highest level, playing in the big competitions, and I feel capable of it.' Fernandes will look to get things off to a winning start for United on Sunday, when they welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford in their Premier League opener. The Red Devils have been boosted in attack by the arrivals of both Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. They have also been linked with Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba as Ruben Amorim looks to add further reinforcements before the window shuts on September 1. .

Ambassador: 'I want that Super Bowl in Britain'
August 16 - England's ambassador to the United States wants the NFL to stage a Super Bowl in Great Britain. "I've made a big pitch for the first Super Bowl outside the U.S. to take place in Britain," Peter Mandelson told the Chicago Council on Global Affairs on Thursday, according to The Times, the oldest national daily newspaper in the U.K. "I want that Super Bowl in Britain. I don't care when it takes place, but I want it announced while I'm ambassador," he added. "We love it, we love it." The NFL has been playing regular-season games in England since 2007, but the jump to hosting a Super Bowl is as big as the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to the growing popularity of the league across Europe, Mandelson's interest likely includes a financial component. Net profits for host cities range anywhere from $150 million to $1 billion, depending on the source. Super Bowl LX is scheduled for Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Feb. 8, 2026, followed by Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., in 2027 and Super Bowl LXII at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in 2028. This season's international NFL slate includes games in Sao Paulo, Brazil; Madrid, Spain; Dublin, Ireland; Berlin, Germany; and three in London. --Field Level Media
