Going digital, faster!
Pre-COVID-19, private and public organizations were on a journey towards a digital business model,
traveling at varying speeds. But the scale of the pandemic has forced a dramatic acceleration, both in the
speed of change and the required investment in digital transformation.
To compete in the digital, post-COVID-19 age, organizations must attain the capability to connect digitally
with customers, suppliers and employees. This means addressing five key challenges:
Customer behaviour Create customer-centric business models where customers buy and
engage through integrated digital channels — increasingly with little or no physical contact.
The customer experience must be relevant, personalized, differentiated and competitive. To
understand customer needs and preferences, data and analytics should inform customer
strategies and tactics across the converging front office of marketing, sales, service and
commerce. This can help achieve the appropriate customer experience economics.

Lecture (1) : Introduction
Digital acceleration Rapidly build a digital technology infrastructure, to connect front, middle and
back offices, encompassing HR, IT, finance, operations, procurement, marketing, sales and
customer service.
Supply chain and operations must become more reliable and responsive. By digitally connecting
and working more closely with suppliers and service providers, companies improve flexibility to
respond to fast-changing customer needs. Suppliers become an extension of the business and are
involved in strategy and product development.
Resilience COVID-19 has demonstrated that the ‘digitally enabled’ enterprise is in fact the ‘resilient’
enterprise; digitally enabled organizations have the capabilities to withstand the impact of
pandemics (and other shocks).
Ways of working COVID-19 has reinforced the need for efficient remote working, but companies
also have been in need to ‘shape’ their workforces to ensure they can access the skills they need,
when they need them, The ‘workforce of the future ecosystem’ is becoming more and more digital.

Lecture (1) : Introduction
In terms of the key technologies which provide the engine for digital
transformation itself, The report identifies cloud, IoT (internet of things)
and data analytics as the core trinity. “IoT can basically be considered all
the devices that we interact with, so it’s very diverse. The cloud provides
a ‘virtual centre’ for all these distributed devices to connect and data
analytics helps to extract value from the information.”
IoT and data analytics have been applied in numerous ways throughout
FinTech, as well as usage in InsurTech (IoT wearables for health
insurance purposes) and RegTech (data analytics to detect fraud), but
we can say cloud that has distinguished itself as among the top tech Read Article:
enablers of the last 10 years. https://www.fintechmagazine.com/finan

“The cloud has provided us near-infinite computing power,” “The transformation-accelerating-change-

quality, variety and velocity of data being controlled in one location has
enabled all kinds of advanced technologies like VR (virtual reality), NLP
(natural language processing) and more. It's truly very powerful.”

Lecture (1) : The Fintech Revolution
Why is Fintech Important?
Money makes the world go round, and financial services regulate
how fast it spins. Disruption caused by fintech drives the financial
industry to be smarter and more active and allows it to deal with
important problems in the world.
For example, automated investing paves the way for all social
classes to invest and see returns on their money. It also allows
people in developing countries to transact, even if they don’t have a
bank account. Yet, the fintech industry has a lot of room for growth
and improvement, and financial infrastructures should be revised
for the benefit of consumers.

Fintech disruptors can also help develop better methodologies for risk
assessment. For instance, OnDeck and Kabbage use information to
assess the performance of small businesses using more than 1500
data points. Avant underwrites consumers using machine learning.
Kickstarter taps into people’s wisdom to funds start-ups. This means
that more customers can get access to lending services.

Social networks and micro marketing have also broken down the
barriers to entering the industry, as some fintech's can achieve
very low acquisition costs, as little as 1% of the costs of national
and community banks.

Lecture (2) : The Effect of Digital Technology
Traditional banks have two types of customers: depositors and borrowers.
Banks have two main revenue streams, one being income from interest
and the other the fees they charge. On top of this, they can earn
additional revenue from cross-selling other products such as insurance.
Traditional banking has thrived for years because customers trust the
system. The strength of these banks lies in their large datasets and
customer bases.
Traditional banks profit because of the large volume of funds that they
manage, and the spread that they make on the interest rates between
borrowing and lending. So far, it has been difficult for new entrants to
compete with them because of their size and capital.

Challenger banks wanting to develop their services fast can use APIs.
APIs can be used by both banks and their fintech partners. For
example, if a bank wants to connect with PayPal on the bank’s mobile
app, the PayPal API would allow customers to see the funds they
have available in PayPal, and details of recent transactions.
A company that offers a card which can store several cards from
different banks, might decide to integrate both the bank and PayPal’s
APIs, so that customers can establish a set of rules which dictate how
a transaction is paid for when they use their Card.

Most online stores offer PayPal and other payment methods, utilizing API
connections to these services.
Ever used PayPal to pay for something, directly within an eCommerce store?
That’s also an API at work. Just like with logging-in using a social media service,
the “Pay with PayPal” functionality is built with APIs to ensure that the end
application can only do what it needs to, without being exposed to sensitive
data or gaining access to unintended permissions.
In terms of the inner-workings of this handy function, it’s very similar to the log-
in process described above. When the user clicks the “Pay with PayPal” button,
the application sends an “order” request to the PayPal API, specifying the
amount owed and other important details. Then, a pop-up validate the user and
confirms their purchase. Finally, if everything goes to plan, the API sends
confirmation of payment back to the application.
