Five crucial ethical questions in the future of Customer Experience

[email protected]_84

As some of you may know, I have recently launched my very first work of fiction: tech thriller Eternal (buy it here in Dutch), about the tech giant X-Com and its ground-breaking technology that promises eternal life. As so often with solutions that sound great on paper, there is a dark side to the story, which first becomes clear when a self-driving car lunges off the San Mateo Bridge in San Francisco and lands into the water after taking an abrupt and unexplainable turn to the left. One of the biggest reasons why I wrote Eternal, is to make people reflect upon the consequences of technology, something which I have already written a lot about in my books and blogs.

Since man has evolved into a conscious and intelligent being, we have always had a ‘Can we do it?’ mentality about technology. Just think about JF Kennedy’s ‘eternal’ quote “We

Targeting Technology Investments to Improve the Client Experience

[email protected]_84

Banks’ effectiveness in targeting their IT spending will help separate winners from losers in the post-COVID marketplace.

To date, four global banks have differentiated themselves in wholesale banking by deploying strong digital/technical capabilities and analytics that outpace rivals. In alphabetical order, those banks are:

  • Bank of America
  • Citi
  • HSBC
  • J.P. Morgan

This list of digital leaders—and the analysis and recommendations included in our new Coalition Greenwich Report – The Future of Banking: Digital Transformation – The Pathway to Profitable Differentiation – were derived from data collected in the Greenwich Digital Transformation Benchmarking Study.

Banks can use technology to improve the client experience in three main ways: by speeding or automating processes, adding new values and increasing transparency.

1.    Speed in the client experience is mainly a function of streamlining requirements and automation. The COVID crisis has accelerated the process of automating parts of routine banking functions with digital tools. By

[email protected]_84

Amazon Web Services saw an outage Wednesday that caused problems for several companies. In a statement, Amazon said it was specifically having problems with its service that processes large streams of data. 

“We continue to work towards recovery of the issue affecting the Kinesis Data Streams API in the US-EAST-1 Region. We also continue to see an improvement in error rates for Kinesis and several affected services, but expect full recovery to still take up to a few hours,” the statement said. 

“The issue continues to also affect other services, or parts of these services, that utilize Kinesis Data Streams within their workflows. While features of multiple services are impacted, some services have seen broader impact and service-specific impact details are below. We continue to work towards full recovery.”

[email protected]_84

Google and Disney have teamed up for a new AR experience featuring The Mandalorian and yes, Baby Yoda is involved. The Mandalorian AR experience “puts you in the shoes of a bounty hunter following the trail of Mando himself, Din Djarin, and The Child,” according to a blog post by Matthieu Lorrain, head of creative, AR partnerships at Google. Players can interact with the characters in AR and capture scenes from the app for sharing.

The app is built on ARCore, Google’s developer platform for building augmented reality experiences, and uses its ARCore Depth API, which enables occlusion — when an AR object is blocked from view by other real objects in a scene (handy if the Mandalorian jetpacks in and your cat strolls into the scene).

Google worked with Disney and Lucasfilm to build models and animations based mostly on the hit

Children and adolescents more likely to experience higher rates of depression and anxiety during and after enforced isolation ends — ScienceDaily

[email protected]_84

The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated widespread social isolation, affecting all ages of global society. A new rapid review in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP), published by Elsevier, reports on the available evidence about children and young people specifically, stating that loneliness is associated with mental health problems, including depression and anxiety-potentially affecting them years later.

The review, which synthesizes over 60 pre-existing, peer-reviewed studies on topics spanning isolation, loneliness and mental health for young people aged between 4 and 21 years of age, found extensive evidence of an association between loneliness and an increased risk of mental health problems for children and young people.

“As school closures continue, indoor play facilities remain closed and at best, young people can meet outdoors in small groups only, chances are that many are lonely (and continue to be so over time),” said lead author, Maria Loades,
