Wärtsilä Oyj : Maritime professionals agree that digital transformation is a good thing. So, what’s standing in the way?

Voyaging on turbulent waters far from home, early sailors ventured in fear of legendary sea monsters – monsters created to explain what was unknown, and which came to life through the many vivid stories that were shared on ship and shore. Fast forward to 2023 and the maritime industry finds itself equally in the thrall of a more modern breed of mythical monster as it faces one of the most turbulent periods in its long history. These monsters appear in the stories we tell ourselves about the uncharted waters of digital transformation today, revealing our fears of what a tech-dominated future might look like – and how we might navigate a safe route to get there. To that end, we’ve set out to battle these beasts by surveying a broad cross-section of maritime professionals across EMEA, the US and APAC about their concerns, and what they and we believe the industry can do to successfully adopt innovative maritime technologies. Debunking the mythical beasts of maritime digital transformation In producing our report, we confirmed that two of these monsters that exist in the maritime psyche today pose urgent challenges that will see organisations either fail, survive, or thrive in the […]

Looking back at 2022, looking forward to 2023

Looking back at 2022, looking forward to 2023

At the end of every year there’s a natural tendency within every industry to assess how far it has come in the past 12 months and where the next 12 might lead. With that in mind, below are some of the key trends we saw in 2022. Interest rates The steep increase in interest rates we’ve seen in 2022 has had a number of different consequences. It has changed the funding environment for the FinTech sector quite profoundly. There’s good evidence that fintech valuations have come down as a result of high interest rates. Higher interest rates have also helped the big banks do rather well, increasing their net interest margins. And therefore, they have been posting some very strong results recently. Global transformation In terms of the digital transformation of banks, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that this has accelerated in 2022, partially driven by a number of different market events. In the UK there have been conversations around Pay.UK’s New Payments Architecture (NPA); the proposal for new legislation aimed at the accelerated adoption of real-time payments in Europe, the forthcoming introduction of FedNow in the US; while at a wider scale the move to […]

The Necessity Of Competency And Character In The Trust Of Digital Government

The Necessity Of Competency And Character In The Trust Of Digital Government

Nick Herbert is the Global Head of Government Digital Transformation for Fujitsu , enabling a trusted digital society. getty One of the biggest imperatives for any digital government is trust. Ensuring that citizens trust the services they are using is one of the most significant challenges for any government. Trust is the combination of caring, character and competency , often within the context of a shared purpose, such as serving society and maintaining the safety of citizens. I believe that caring and articulating a shared purpose are best evidenced by elected ministers, governors and other officials via their policies and actions. Therefore, if we focus on character and competency, it is logical to argue that any e-government system must be fair, transparent, performant and provide an excellent citizen experience. Gaining citizen trust and building systems that are trusted requires more than just an excellent system that citizens enjoy using. It requires a system that has integrity, is secure and does not expose citizens to potential harm. Data is one of the biggest fuels for a digital government. However, its potential to eradicate trust is equally powerful. If a citizen’s data is lost, corrupted or compromised by a third party, […]
