Brett King Presents The Future of Banking in an exclusive Backbase webinar.
The future of banking will not be about a place you go, about branch networks, rates or product features. The future of banking is in the utility and connectedness with customers.
In this exclusive Backbase BANK 2.0 webinar, the bestselling author of BANK 2.0, discusses how the very nature of banking is changing, how customer's expectations, customer behavior and context will force banks to reboot the way they work their customers.
Highlights of this webinar include:
The Changing Behavior of Customers
The Generational Cliff – when your customers are all gone
The Loss of Physicality – No Paper, No Plastic
The New Utility – Connected, Contextual, Fun, and Fair
The New Banking Ecosystem – BANK 1.0 versus BANK 2.0

Digital technology is disrupting industry after industry. The price of computing, data storage, communication, and coordination continues to plummet. Artificial Intelligence, sharing networks, crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, and digitization of old analogue processes are revolutionizing huge swaths of the economy. It's these trends that are radically changing the needs and behaviors of banking customers AND it's these trends that are now forcing the banking industry to revolutionize.
Banks must disrupt themselves or be disrupted.

M-Pesa Case study.
This is our last teamwork university project. This time we had to analyze M-Pesa, that is a mobile SIM card based company that facilitates the way to transfer money. M-Pesa is the first "Fintech" company because they used before everyone else the SIM card system to financial services purposes.
This app allows people to transfer money in safety and fast way.
This company was born in Kenya, they were the first to bring 4G in the country. M-Pesa represents a milestone for the African innovation ecosystem.
I want to thank my colleagues for the excellent workflow, for the collaboration during the process and for a full and totally work ethic.

The main goal of this presentation is to propose EA as a holistic architecture approach to overcome the challenge of redundant effort in silo culture by adapting the "Zen" philosophy to define EA from the essence of EA goals rather from title of “Enterprise Architecture”
.LEA goal to support enterprise strategic planning and close the gaps between strategy and execution.
.LEA does not only architect the enterprise mechanical architecture but also facilitate the enterprise energy field of collaboration and knowledge management.
.LEA encompassed of three architecture theory in vertical, horizontal and circular architecture direction.
.LEA is not a big bang approach, It is a three tiers implementation in master architecture planning, .segment architecture and agile solution architecture.
.Support robust business strategic planning from both business and engineering consideration via
business influence diagram,
performance analysis and
segment architecture.
Suggest to practice EA in a three tier approach rather than a big bang. Point out EA is a planning effort rather than an engineering effort. EA is not the enterprise wide solution architecture. Clarify the confusion of business capability and business process. EA is not business process centric it is the mean to support the end of business capability. Introduce the concept of business floor plan and EA landscape. The business floor plan is similar to the floor plan of a house. EA landscape to present the situation of usage such as the landscape of application, data and technology. Practical EA use the popular EA method such as FEAF, TOGAF, DODAF to design the segment architecture .
The LEAF is a 3x3 matrix to illustrate EA comprehensively with three main goals suggest to practice EA in three tiers instead of a big bang approach.
The main goals of EA are Align IT to Business; Enable enterprise agility via interoperability, reuse and sharing; Adapt to change in the organic enterprise. To achieve these goals, it takes three architecture disciplines in vertical, horizontal and circular direction..
LEAF suggest to practice EA in three tier approach of Notional EA, Practical EA and Daily EA. A big bang EA approach requires significant investment of time and resources, In the three tier approach, The Notional Architecture is relatively light, The practical EA in segment scope is also light.

VAS as catalyst for MobileMoney uptake: a Nigerian caseSimon Aderinlola
Nearly 2 years since MobileMoney was launched in Nigeria (Aug 2011), experts are justifiably concerned about awareness & service uptake levels, the inertia to exit the cash culture and the enablers to make this happen. This work identifies the de-motivations and posits fresh ways of looking at the problem in a pull approach using VAS, assuming worst case, that these listed issues don't go away as soon as expected. The good news is that something good IS being done in this regard.
Web and Mobile Payments are gaining traction in Nigeria today. This slide presents the facts and figures behind these channels and seeks to recommend how uptake can be stimulated by consumers

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
