The period from 2009 to 2013 laid a solid foundation and created significantmomentum for future development There was a logical progression of repositioningthe target market, redefining touchpoints to rebuild the customer journey, andrecognizing the importance of technology and digital transformation in bankingactivities at an early stage

IV DRIVING FORCES OF CHANGE IN THE ORGANIZATION
1 External Forces
a Industrial Revolution 4.0
Adoption and popularity of Cloud and Cloud Native, Big Data and Analytics, ArtificialIntelligence/ Machine Learning (AI/ ML), AI powered chatbots, IntelligentAutomation and others propelled digital banking significantly especially acrosstraditiona
b Economic forces
At the time financial institutions in the United States and Europe were still reelingfrom the consequences of the 2008 global financial crisis, struggling with liquidityissues and laying off employees in regional markets Asian banks, on the other hand,were significantly less exposed to the crisis which is a opportunity to expand themarket position of DBS in Asia
c Competitive forces
Towards the end of the 2nd millennium, there were significant digitalisation and digitaltransformation programmes across many traditional banks besides the establishment ofpure digital/ neobanks as well as an implosion of FinTech unicorns & startups,platform and technology infrastructure company
d Demographic forces
In Asia’s emerging markets, however, our study shows that digital banking is mostpopular among the affluent and the young Penetration among higher-income groupswas nearly 40 percent compared with about 30 percent among lower-income groups
At the same time, about 40 percent of consumers from 21 to 39 years old that wesurveyed in these used digital banking
e Government policy
Trang 10implemented in the period 2014-2018 One of the five years of that program isElectronic Payment which stated that: Singapore does not encourage people to usecash because it is difficult to control money sources and transaction addresses Instead,the state creates a national electronic payment infrastructure to help people andbusinesses make non-cash payments.
3 Stakeholders
Stakeholders who would be affected by the digital transformation process of DBS:
- Investors and shareholders:
They are looking forward to the benefits of the change but do not necessarilyexperience the change itself
- Managers:
They are leading, controlling the digital transformation to make sure the process isimplemented without any unconditional mistakes They also have to hire and train fornew positions such as IT, product development
- Employees:
They will have to undergo training to be equipped with digital business skills,understand changes of market and customer preferences Employees will be providedwith all skills they need to keep up with the pace of change
- Customers:
They will be served and communicated in time through multiple channels It is moreconvenient and time-saving because all processes can be implemented anywhereinstead of going directly to the bank
Trang 11- Society:
Strong partnerships with other businesses and organizations will create collaborationand we can support tackling real-world sustainability challenges together Growingnetworks will also contribute to the sustainability of the industry and economy ingeneral, which leads to positive impacts on the community
- Regulators and Policy makers:
Regulatory risks and new regulatory frameworks that will be needed due to increasingcompetition with fintech/ tech platforms and to macro trends such as sustainability.Data governance capabilities and financial advisory processes are concerned to ensurethat the interests of our customers stay protected
V SWOT ANALYSIS OF CURRENT SITUATION
Strength
- Superior product and service quality:
This advantage can help DBS Digital to further increase its market share as the currentcustomers are extremely loyal to it.DBS Digital can compete with other global players
in the international market
- First Mover Advantage:
DBS Digital has first mover advantage in number of segments It has experimented invarious areas of innovation The Finance and Accounting solutions and strategies hashelped DBS in coming up with unique solutions to tap the un-catered markets
- Robust Domestic Market that DBS Digital Operates:
DBS can easily grow in its domestic market without much innovation but will requirefurther investment into research and development to enter the international market.The temptation so far for the managers at DBS is to focus on the domestic marketonly
Trang 12Weakness:
- Low Return on Investment: Even though DBS has a stable balance sheet, one metricthat needs reflection is “Return on Invested Capital” In areas of Innovation that DBSDigital operates in, the most reliable measure of profitability is Return on InvestedCapital rather than one favored by financial analysts such as – Return on Equity &Return on Assets
- Little experience of the international market: Even though it is a major player in thelocal market, DBS has little experience in the international market DBS needsinternational talent to penetrate into developing markets
Opportunity:.
- Increasing Standardization: DBS can leverage this trend to reduce the number ofofferings in the market and focus the marketing efforts on only the most successfulproducts
- Lucrative Opportunities in International Markets:
Opportunities in Adjacent Markets: DBS can explore adjacent industries to furthermarket growth especially by extending the features of present products and services
- E-Commerce and Social Media Oriented Business Models: E-commerce businessmodel can help DBS to tie up with local suppliers and logistics providers in theinternational market, especially Asia market
Threat:
- Government Regulations and Bureaucracy: DBS should keep a close eye on the fastchanging government regulations under the growing pressure from protest groups andnon government organizations especially regarding environmental and labor safetyaspects
- International and Asian Geo-Political Factors: For example, developments such asBrexit, Russian sanctions, foreign exchange crisis & inflation in Venezuela, lower oilprices etc are impacting the international business environment
Trang 13social media and e-commerce, so can the competitors – both local and internationalcompetitors In addition, DBS would face with the intense competition from bothtraditional banks and new fintech players
VI SOLUTION
In the short term, the company should continue to keep the current advancedtechnology developments in all fields of customers, employees experiences andoperations
The company also should pay attention to the internalization of its core competency ofthe employees and the company in general - specifically here is to be able to integratetechnology The company is outsourcing external vendors its internet and mobilebanking platform but it still needs to stay responsive and developed towards activedevelopment of technology integrations as a core competency over the new entrants
In the long term, the company should emphasize strategies in terms of customerexperience and digital innovation Regarding customers, DBS Bank utilizes speechanalytics to support the bank's digital agenda and encourages customers to go digital,resulting in improved customer satisfaction and problem resolution Furthermore, thecompany can consider getting closer to its young target audience through itswidespread appearance on social platforms to keep up with ever-changing customerprofiles
DBS should stay ahead of digital innovation by tapping into the creative potential ofemployees by establishing innovation programs, providing resources and support fortheir ideas, and recognizing and rewarding innovative contributions In doing this, itfosters a culture of innovation promoting a mindset of continuous learning,experimentation, and risk-taking
