December 12, 2025
NIST and other bodies describe a “cryptographically relevant quantum computer” as a device capable of running Shor’s algorithm at a scale that breaks RSA/ECC used today. Google’s Willow chip article makes the same distinction: Willow is not a CRQC; estimates still put a true RSA-breaking machine at millions of physical qubits.

How will fintech drive the adoption of 5G technology?
FinTech Magazine
April 30, 2020
Mobile and digital next generation financial services and other emerging technologies will drive 5G adoption, says Huawei’s Bill Genovese. Interview article I delivered with Matthew High of FinTech Magazine. The traditional banking model has forever changed. This, he explains, has been driven by new and innovative technologies, new digitally-led businesses entering the sector and our evolving needs as consumers..and these technologies in a mobile financial services strategy and context, are driving the further investment and business model development of 5G, not the other way around.
We are, already entrenched in the next generation of financial services - an environment in which banking has shifted from a product-driven ethos, to being about building a lifestyle, and 5G will be a further underpinning technology enabler.

Next generation financial services: technology and disruption
FinTech Magazine
April 28, 2020
Continuing discussion and interview article with Matthew High of FinTech Magazine. Huawei’s Bill Genovese on the technologies, business models and innovators disrupting banking and why ‘banking as a lifestyle’ is the new norm.
The digital evolution of the financial services sector is unceasing. The ‘traditional’ banking business model has fundamentally changed, driven by new and innovative technologies, the entry to market of digitally-led and diverse businesses better suited to meeting evolving customer expectations, and the broader rise of the sharing economy spearheaded by the likes of Uber and Alibaba. This is the next generation landscape for financial services - an environment in which banking and finance is no longer about manufacturing and delivering products, but rather, about building a lifestyle. Vitally important in these times of crisis of Covid-19. I discuss some of the innovative platform providers in this space and who will likely pull ahead in terms of innovation over the next decade.

The Convergence of Technology in Financial Services Innovation: FinTech will drive 5G Investment and Adoption
LinkedIn
February 15, 2020
5G may be a telecom term, but in my view and for many of us at Huawei, 5G will become widely adopted first to meet the needs of FinTech and other industries through the application of mobile and digital next generation financial services that will apply emerging technologies. These emerging technologies will converge to provide faster, cheaper, and better services for more people that did not have access to these services before.
Fintech is going to drive 5G, not the other way around. Huawei, which is widely perceived as a leader in commercial 5G, and other companies, are working on next-generation digital financial services. These (as opposed to traditional banking) will need the kind of speed and connectivity of super-fast wireless communications to meet the further expanding demands of edge computing leveraging AI, Blockchain and IoT.

2 Books
IBM Software Defined Environment
IBM Redbooks
August 12, 2015
This IBM Redbooks publication introduces the IBM Software Defined Environment (SDE) solution, which helps to optimize the entire computing infrastructure--compute, storage, and network resources--so that it can adapt to the type of work required. In today's environment, resources are assigned manually to workloads, but that happens automatically in a SDE. In an SDE, workloads are dynamically assigned to IT resources based on application characteristics, best-available resources, and service level policies so that they deliver continuous, dynamic optimization and reconfiguration to address infrastructure issues. Underlying all of this are policy-based compliance checks and updates in a centrally managed environment.

Readers get a broad introduction to the new architecture. Think integration, automation, and optimization. Those are enablers of cloud delivery and analytics. SDE can accelerate business success by matching workloads and resources so that you have a responsive, adaptive environment. With the IBM Software Defined Environment, infrastructure is fully programmable to rapidly deploy workloads on optimal resources and to instantly respond to changing business demands.

This information is intended for IBM sales representatives, IBM software architects, IBM Systems Technology Group brand specialists, distributors, resellers, and anyone who is developing or implementing an Open Stack defined SDE.

In this session we will have a discussion of the evolution of financial services, and what it may look like in terms of “next generation digital financial services” delivered through innovative new business models and leveraging digital technology accelerators, to deliver ubiquitous, embedded digital financial services in our children’s lives.
There are six prevalent business and technology platforms delivering innovative digital financial services today. Which models and platforms will pull ahead to lead market share in the next 5,10, 20 years? What types of digital technology are they leveraging and how is it applied to make digital financial services more relevant seamlessly in our lives?
◦“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change” – Charles Darwin
◦“Culture eats strategy for breakfast” – Peter Drucker “If culture is eating strategy for breakfast, and you are not addressing culture in your strategy, then you don't have a strategy. Your strategy should not only address culture (and breakfast), but the organization holistically” - Bill Genovese
◦“If you believe your infrastructure is a commodity, then perhaps your business is running as a commodity as well”
◦“Banks cannot innovate if they’re busy keeping their legacy systems alive”

Leadership Forum on Design Education
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design, Hong Kong Design Institute (member of VTC Group) and Hong Kong Design Centre
December 04, 2018
Keynote Speaker: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design Leadership Forum on Design Education. The spectrum of design continues to expand in response to changes of the economy. There are many combinations of products and services existing within the continuum of goods-services. The traditional distinction between goods and services no longer exists in many cases. In consequence, service design today covers a wide spectrum of design from visible front end products to services designed to enhance user experiences by building better customer journeys supported by internal processes at the backstage of organisations.
The importance and awareness of service design have grown significantly over the last decade. It is well recognised in the design industry too. The industry has to anticipate evolving needs to enable business growth and social innovation.
However, business models and service-design models are not often well connected, or business models inherited from product design sometimes even exist in conflict with the needs of service design. What are the benefits design service and service design can bring to business? What are the challenges? How can design education bridge the gap?
