Competing on technological innovation
In this module, we focus on the problem that your FinTech strategy is supposed to solve. We start at the digital disintegration of finance and how this changed the industry dynamics to an innovation game. We conclude by identifying the new roles for competition in the digital financial marketplace, and how your FinTech strategy is essential to successfully compete in these positions.
Organizing for digital innovation
In this module, we are opening the strategic toolbox for FinTech innovation. We specifically address approaches to internal innovation, which includes focusing on both the organisational structures and more particularly on the setup of the IT department - the engine in our digital innovation process.
Channeling the smarts of others
