"The world most successful companies (Apple, Amazon, Alibaba) are data-driven platforms. They innovated their business models leveraging digital technology to start a journey from output to outcome economies: businesses don't necessarily trade in the products that deliver certain results (e.g. "selling 100,000 cars in 2022", in which the focus is about discrete sales figures or quantities), but in the results themselves which take the form of user experiences (e.g., "allowing 500,000 people to commute by car", in which the focus is on perceived benefits). Clearly, not all industrial products and services can be easily reinvented inside outcome economies, no matter how powerful they can be. This is particularly true for financial services given the more abstract and regulated nature of their products, as well the psychological characteristics of consumers when accessing them. The Platformisation of Financial Services corresponds to a shift in mindset intended to help banks strengthen and extend the reach of their Open Banking operations. Platform theory, born outside of financial services, will be transposed inside banking and insurance to make digital banking more effective. In this way, the financial services industry will master the necessary shift of focus from output (distribution channels of products) to outcomes (enabling clients to enjoy transparent and value-adding experiences, achieve their goals or fulfil their needs, directly or inside non-banking relationships). This book will guide the financial services industry globally towards new forms of digital transformation that benefit shareholders and stakeholders alike, allowing greater flexibility and convenience at lower digital prices"--
Discover the future of the financial services industry with this insightful new resource on Contextual and Conscious Banking
In Banks and Fintech on Platform Economies: Contextual and Conscious Banking, accomplished fintech professional and author Paolo Sironi delivers an insightful examination of how platform theory, born outside of financial services, will make its way inside banking and financial markets to radically transform the way firms do business.
You’ll learn why the financial services industry must master the necessary shift of focus from selling business outputs to selling client outcomes. You’ll also discover how to steer the industry towards new forms of digital transformation underpinned by Contextual Banking and Conscious Banking platform strategies that will benefit stakeholders of all kinds.
This important book:
Describes the shift in mindset necessary to help banks strengthen and extend the reach of their Banking-as-a-Service and Banking-as-a-Platform operations.
Shows how a renewed interpretation of fundamental uncertainty inspires the usage of exponential technologies to achieve architectural resilience, and open the reference theory to spring new business models centered on clients’ and ecosystems’ antifragility.
Financial services industry can break-out from a narrow space of value-generation to reclaim top spot against bigtech contenders, enjoying greater flexibility and adaptability at lower digital costs
Perfect for CEOs, business leaders, regulators, fintech entrepreneurs, wealth managers, behavioral finance researchers and professionals working at financial technology companies, Banks and Fintech on Platform Economieswill also earn a place in the libraries of bankers seeking a firm grasp of the rapidly evolving outcome economy and a view about the future of the industry.
