Jawwy: How a Saudi Digital Venture is Rewriting the Telecom RulebookCapgemini
As Saudi millennials are so digital-savvy, they expect a completely new kind of experience that is very different from what today’s telecom operators can provide. They expect an experience that is real time, on-demand, online, DIY and social. This is very much on par with the experience offered by the likes of Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon – seamless, intuitive and very simple.
The answer to this was Jawwy, an independent digital venture from Saudi Telecom Company (STC). The entire customer care model at Jawwy is digitized from end-to-end, featuring self-help, online, social and peer-to-peer support via crowdsourcing. Jawwy are building a new digital mobile operator model with the organizational DNA and agility of an internet player by going Greenfield.

The Innovation Game: Why & How Businesses are Investing in Innovation CentersCapgemini
With tech startups rapidly eating into traditional sectors, large organizations face an increased pressure to innovate. The challenge is that traditional innovation approaches are broken. A recent study revealed that only 5% of R&D staff feel highly motivated to innovate. In certain sectors, more than 85% of new products fail and an overwhelming 90% of companies consider they are too slow in launching new products and services.
The weaknesses of traditional innovation approaches have led some organizations to explore different avenues and seek new inspiration. These organizations have launched innovation centers in major technology hubs with the explicit mandate to accelerate digital innovations. These innovation centers, comprising teams of people and often physical sites, are established in a global tech hub. The goal is to leverage the ecosystem of startups, venture capitalists, accelerators, vendors, and academic institutions that these hubs provide.
Major global technology hubs are the preferred destinations for setting up innovation centers. 60% of companies that have set up these centers have a presence in the Silicon Valley but many more hubs are emerging – the top 10 cities in our analysis represent only 33% of total innovation centers. The US and Europe have the largest share with 29% of total innovation centers closely respectively, followed by Asia at 25%. Penetration varies significantly between sectors; manufacturing is a clear leader at 58%, but despite facing increasing pressures from digital disruptions, Financial Services lags at only 28%.
It is extremely challenging to make a success of innovation centers. Success factors include clarity on the role of the innovation center, governance for innovation implementation, and a strong connection with the rest of the business.
A Portfolio Strategy To Execute Digital TransformationCapgemini
Senior Executives in pretty much all industries have now elevated digital transformation to the top of their strategic agenda. And they’re right to do so. The risk of falling behind the curve is so great that senior leaders are not debating whether digital technologies will affect their competitive position, but rather how to conduct an effective digital transformation and how fast it can be done.
However, an organization’s determination to get on the front foot with a bold digital strategy often falters when it comes up against the multi-dimensional complexity of the questions it faces and the risks it must manage. Should we prioritize short-term improvements at the expense of potentially larger strategic shifts? How fast will our industry be disrupted: months, years, or even decades? What level of risk are we willing to take on innovative new business models? Can we deliver our digital strategy in house or do we need to partner?

Our analysis focuses on volume-at-price data because in addition to price, it is critical information that is 100% market-generated.
Volume-at-price data is key information that major institutions, trading algorithms, and hedge funds use to accommodate their liquidity needs.
By analyzing the market-generated volume-at-price data, we make our clients aware of key price locations before they are reached. We provide investable trading guidance that others using strictly fundamental or price-based information completely miss.
