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.

Activating Intelligence in Financial Services - Part 4
Huawei Technologies
July 11, 2019
In Part 4 of my vlog series on AI and Financial Services, I look at the development perspective of our horizontal industry strategy.
We apply AI-based edge computing on the device that harnesses data for predictive analytics from the edge through the network through Enterprise Intelligence in the cloud.
The use cases start at the Edge and the Device, with AI-based apps in your phone. These use the device in the enterprise to enable intelligent customer services (think banking and insurance contact or call centers).
In parallel and before we move further into cloud-based AI/EI solutions, tiered digital identity and cybersecurity must be in place to provide fraud detection, analysis, and prevention, facilitated by streaming, cloud, and database resources. It’s crucial that advanced cybersecurity with a tiered digital ID framework is in place before we go further into specific applications for industry segments, such as investment banking and securities, where we’re looking at Robo Advisors to augment human intelligence in a hybrid business strategy, as well as applying AI for quantitative investment and portfolio optimization.

Activating Intelligence in Financial Services - Part 3
Huawei Technologies
May 16, 2019
Welcome to Part 3 of my vlog series on how artificial intelligence is disrupting financial services. Below I’ve also explained our vision, sector evolution, and application of AI in financial services arena.
Vision: Use and apply Artificial Intelligence as an embedded technology along with Digital, Mobile, and Open Banking Platform Delivery Models (IaaS & PaaS) to deliver next-generation, intelligent personalized digital financial services from any digital access point for the financial services industry across and available our business lines of Consumer, Carrier, Enterprise Business, and Cloud.
The evolution of financial services: As digital intelligent correlated and converged connectivity becomes more prevalent, so does the consumption of digital financial services. They will move from a product consumption base to tailored services based on consumer experience and lifestyle to ubiquitous, embedded services available in our lives – anytime, anywhere from any digital access point. AI will play a key role in this starting with facial recognition and advanced biometrics in the front-end for access, authentication, and authorization and in the back-end for information transmission and processing.

Blockchain: Move Fast but Don't Break Things!
Huawei Technologies
April 17, 2019
Everyone’s heard the slogan, “Faster, Cheaper, Better…pick two, but you can’t have all three.” Well, picking and meeting two of these is sub-optimal in most solutions, and you especially won’t get very far with getting Blockchain into enterprise by only solving two of these.
Before offering yet another consensus protocol (there are over 75 already) that forges the silver bullet for “performance and scalability” (FASTER), you need to think through what are the major barriers to adopting this technology, and how to overcome them to move beyond the hype.

Financial Services: Taking AI To the Next Level
The Economist and Huawei Blog
March 07, 2019
As with many emerging technologies, one of the key drivers for such swift adoption of AI in the financial industry is efficiency gains resulting in cost savings. By 2030, traditional finance sector organisations could reduce their costs by 22%, according to fintech research company Autonomous Research, in what would amount to more than US$1 trillion in efficiencies. These savings would come from the front, middle, and back office operations and includes a reduction in retail branches and bank tellers, the application of AI to compliance and data processing, and the automation of underwriting and collections systems. Other more forward looking applications are automating risk management, customer data management and insights harvesting, predictive analytics, real-time analytics (covering fraud detection, consumer analytics, and algorithmic trading) and deep personalization and customization for tailored customer experience improvements.

Financial Services: Predictive Analytics with Blockchain and AI
Huawei Technologies
January 30, 2019
The changing consumer experience at an exponential scale is one of the contributing factors creating risk and compliance disruption in financial services. The “merging” of banks and non-banking entrants (including the “BigTech” e-commerce giants) through marketplace platforms and new business models will introduce regulatory changes from data privacy to the core credit, market, and operational risk pillars of “systemic” risk exposure and classification for the industry. The size of the bank alone in terms of assets is no longer sufficient to identify systemically important banks or non-banking entrants moving into the industry with a banking license. Risk and compliance will be disrupted in this context, as a multifactor approach will need to further evolve when considering and determining a new systemic importance baseline beyond just asset holdings. The pressing issue to conquer is multi-dimensional risk correlation and modeling (Market + Credit + Operational). If we wait until each pillar is perfect unto itself, we'll still never see the complete holistic exposure, especially which becomes exponential in perfect storm events. The world is changing faster and faster, and there are more inputs into what is impacting each risk pillar by itself.

Transformation for Bankers Needs A Change In Mindset
Huawei Technologies
October 29, 2018
For banks to adapt, thrive, and mature in the digital economy they must embrace change through the digital transformation of their business. Until now, however, too much focus has been on technologies driving change and not enough on management’s need to reimagine the organization and its own role in making the most of digitally driven business opportunities. For CEO’s accustomed to leaving IT issues to a CIO or CTO and viewing IT as a support function rather than full partner in developing business strategy, digital transformation can be daunting. To leverage the power of digital technologies in financial services, C-Suite executives need to overcome their fear of change.
Digital transformation is far more than an IT upgrade. It encompasses the full organization, strategy and processes, and introduction of potential new business models in ways to leverage digital technologies to create new business opportunities.

Blockchain in Financial Services : Scenarios
Huawei Technologies
September 26, 2018
Blockchain is a burgeoning technology across a wide spectrum of industries. One of the most prominent industries to have experienced the immediate impacts of Blockchain is the financial services industry. This can be ascribed not only to the fact that it is considered to have emerged from the specific vantage point of cryptocurrency, but also to the fact that Blockchain is fundamentally described as an innovation in value transfer.
Blockchain is critically important for Financial Services and functions, as it provides the preservation and protection of value that is being transferred – which intersects with the individual.

Banking leaders are learning digital transformation is as much about management attitudes as it is technology

“It’s not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the most responsive to change,” according to the often cited “mis-quotation” of Charles Darwin. Whether Darwin said it is irrelevant as it makes a point as valid in 21st century banking as in his 19th century study of evolution.

Moving Beyond the Hype...If you are going to develop a Blockchain solution.....Keep it Real
LinkedIn
March 06, 2018
Ask yourself (and make sure you ask others as well!):
1. Does your blockchain "solution" fit into a standard industry reference architecture blueprint? It should if it's going to integrate into industry systems for both public and private blockchain transaction processing.
2. Does the "solution" fit into an OSI Model Reference Architecture?
3. Have you carefully thought through how your blockchain "solution" simply fits into an Enterprise Technology Framework that covers all relevant Enterprise Services and Technologies that will be impacted?
4. In addition, as you are thinking through finding a problem for your Blockchain "solution" to solve, have you considered the following architectural principles in your foundation? There are a lot of problems (business and technology) that can arise if these are not considered and addressed holistically, and that Blockchain won't solve for ---both on an individual(s) usage basis and for enterprises.

The CFO-CIO Partnership for Digital Convergence
LinkedIn
May 04, 2016
Emerging technologies provide the perfect storm of opportunity for the CFO and CIO to work closer together to increase revenue, profit, business growth, while at many times in parallel, reducing risk. CIO’s and CFO’s are often “frenemies”, and many times under the best circumstances co-exist together to cooperate. CFO's and CIO’s have sometimes been at odds over the years in organizations, as the CIO is under immense pressure to keep the costs down, typically measured by the CFO as a percentage of revenue. This measurement is rarely forward looking as it is typically focused on “keeping the lights on” for the company, with the IT organization as a “necessary evil” and cost center. What if the CFO and CIO worked closer together to exploit technology to flip this equation to focus on revenue, profit and business growth?

I am very fortunate to have this fantastic journey filled with great experiences thus far in my life, both on a professional and personal level.

What is a SDE (Software Defined Environment)?
LinkedIn
December 02, 2014
Investments in enterprise virtualization, centralized administration and hardware with enhanced management and optimization functionality have laid the groundwork for a new era in business responsiveness. The technical capabilities now exist; the time is right to take the next step by using those technologies to enable a fully programmable IT infrastructure able to sense and respond to workload demands automatically. We, at IBM, call this idea a Software Defined Environment. It is a new approach for holistic, simplified IT management in which software provisions and configures entire infrastructures based on real-time workload needs. Software Defined Environment (SDE) is a term coined by IBM for its "software-defined everything" vision. The company's Software Defined Environments group is the latest evolution of what first began as the Application, Integration and Middleware group inside the IBM Software group.

The Enterprise Technology Framework applied to Cloud Initiatives

August 05, 2014
When you build a house, do you build it haphazardly without requirements or specifications? Of course not. You want to ensure that the house has a solid foundation, running water, electricity, access to public services (or you will need to provide your own private services, in some cases), cable TV, internet, telephone, physical security services and zones in the house—all while adhering to specific zoning regulations in your town and state.
You may select a plot of land and have an idea in your mind on what the house will look like. You’ll draw up some diagrams, or even hire an architect to provide a set of well–designed and detailed blueprint or set of blueprints, that will identify, in many cases, down to the level of detail showing both your “private” services and your “public” services you need to access from the town, state and even government.
The same holds true for corporations that are now venturing into the cloud. They use a well-defined strategy with specific services, and a blueprint or framework that provides building blocks that can act as investment enablers for decisions, and what services may be further developed in determining public, private or hybrid cloud models for the corporation.

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?
