Some say that we, humans, have always been social. The rise of social technologies enables people to finally fulfill their innate desire to become more connected to one another. The possibility of managing the positive effects of social networks is upon us. The first wave of social technologies has firmly been planted in everyday experiences in both developed and developing economies. The world is rapidly becoming social and businesses need to be prepared.

social trend / social media and banks


Banks rely on Facebook than any other social media platforms (or at least its where people search for banks in social media), followed by YouTube and Twitter. For the short term, it makes sense for banks to focus on socially orientated customers via Facebook and YouTube than any other platform, while keeping an eye on upcoming platforms.

Social Business,

According to industry pundits, successful social business initiatives need to be holistic, as they are much more than just technology issues. Getting serious about social business requires a re-think about business outcomes and the social nature of people, melding together technology, culture, and values. Here are two definitions of social business from leading companies. to-customer engagement, employee-to-employee collaboration, or supply chain optimization. Making social business work requires focus on a companys culture, connections, content exchanges, and measurement and analytics.

We define social business as embedding social tools, media, and practices into the ongoing activities of the organization. Social business enables individuals to connect and share information and insights more effectively with others, both inside and outside the organization. Social business tools facilitate engagement in extensive discussions with employees, customers, business partners and other stakeholders and allow sharing of resources, skills and knowledge to drive business outcomes.

[We saw] these trends coming together at a very macro level around what workplaces were going to be like in 2020, where internal communication was moving and the rapid rise of social networking. Through putting those three themes together, there was a really big aha! moment, in that social technology is changing the world and it will begin to challenge the way business gets done. Around the same time, we were also hearing requests from our employees they were asking to connect with people in other parts of our businesses with similar jobs to theirs so they could learn from each other and innovate faster.

Starting several years ago, the company realized it had significant challenges in being highly geographically distributed.

Other social platforms


Social business is a concept made up of many different parts. For now, the world is very familiar with social media and work media, the good looking twins in the social business family. However, there are other lesser known siblings in the space which are poised to make some impact further down the road. The up and coming technologies are social listening, social intelligence, and crowd labor technologies. Also, we have listed some older, precursors: ERP, Enterprise 2.0, etc.

Social media companies are continuing to evolve. There are seven major business categories for social media: platform, publishing, sharing, playing, networking, buying, and localization. for each category, we list some of the leading brands. Along with devices (PCs, SmartTVs, Smartphones, tablets, etc.), connectivity, and interactions, these categories make up the social media ecosystem.

BBVA & Social business

Social networks are much more than Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or LinkedIn.
In essence, they are communities of people gathered around common interests. Overall, BBVAs communities in social networks exceed four million users, grouped around themes in which the bank can add value to the conversation. Thus, the objectives of notoriety and affiliation with the brand on the Internet improve - but we cant just stop there. The next step is to ensure users of our communities benefit directly from their participation in them, in a way that is genuinely useful to the business of our clients. If they grow, we also grow. Under this premise we have developed Yo soy empleo (I am employment), a community that allows its members to combine efforts with a clear objective: to generate jobs in Spain.

Not only can Social technologies be applied to customer-facing applications (social media), they may be used for employeefacing and third-party facing applications. In 2012, BBVA made headlines by adopting Google Apps for its 110,000 employees; transforming the way work is done in the enterprise, and now, BBVA is launching Yo Soy Empleo, using social technologies to collaborate with thirdparties to create value for the community.

he community aims to match demand with supply, to link those companies that in spite of the crisis continue to grow with those individuals who are seeking for a job in these complicated times. BBVAs contribution to the community is not just limited to the creation of a social platform connecting both parts - it includes an incentive scheme for new hires, with direct financial support for each job created, a business advisory service and a training plan participated by the countrys leading business schools. In other words, the aim is to bring together several existing communities that share a same interest - the creation of jobs -, and try to find common solutions which may benefit all their members. Therefore, we use typical social web tools to obtain a greater benefit for the community, with a system that allows to join efforts in order to obtain a common asset. Social platforms are nothing but a meeting point. In this case we believe that gathering in a same virtual place all the parties involved in the generation of jobs and providing differentiated support to help achieve the ultimate goal can be beneficial for everyone. This is not something BBVA is managing alone, since the proper performance of a community depends on all its users. That is why, from the beginning of the project, I am employment counts with the implication of companies that demand workforce; of Infoempleo, as facilitator in the recruitment processes; of leading business schools, for the training plans; of BBVA Empresas, for the advisory service, etc. Once launched, anybody willing to contribute to meet the objective of generating jobs will have the door of the community open in Yosoyempleo.es.

The social trend is part of something bigger ... much bigger: the coming convergence of social, mobile, cloud, and big data. Many industry analysts are envisioning major disruptions caused by the coming together of these four major trends, which will change the way we live, work, and play. Whether it is known as the Nexus (Gartner) or the 3rd Platform (IDC) or by any other name, the ultimate mashup is set to shine in the era of the customer-centricity. When peeking into the convergent future with a social focus, keep the following in mind:

The Ten Tenets of Social Business


These tenets are the most succinct and useful statements of what social business is (or should be), free of jargon or technology, courtesy of social business experts: Dion Hinchcliffe and Peter Kim.

Nine insights of social enterprise


Allen Blue (LinkedIn), Jon Froda (Podio) and Tony Zingale (Jive Software), the rock stars of the social business world, discuss their insights of the social enterprise.

Anyone can participate.

Create shared value by default.

While participation is self-organizing, the focus is on business outcomes.

Enlist a large enough community to derive the desired result.

email and spreadsheets are powering the work of today.

The conversation itself is the way the work gets done in the enterprise.

15% of all people searches on LinkedIn are for their own colleagues.

Engage the right community for the business purpose.

Participation can take any direction. be prepared for it, and take advantage of it.

Eliminate all potential barriers to participation. Ease of use is essential.

The number one reason people leave their organization is because they dont feel connected.

At work, we dont want to cc: everyone on a email, because its rude. but we should. Its not a secret.

Users are people. No matter where they are, theyre just people.

Listen to and engage continuously with all relevant social business conversations.

The tone and language of social business are most effective when theyre casual and human.

10

The most effective social business activities are deeply integrated in the flow of work.

is a transitional technology. Its just a matter of what transition youre in middle of.

Every technology

As the power of the individual increases, company culture is going to be the single most important factor to success.

Your company should have a six- to 12-month plan and a 10-year plan. Nothing else matters.

According to Mark Fidelman, a contributor to Forbes, over the last 25 years, Apple and IBM seem to have switched roles: Big Blue is becoming Big Open (and less Big Brother), while Apple is more like Big Brother, given their tight, wall-gardened approach. At the end, Mr. Fidelman believes that you can no longer create great products alone and the approach that IBM is taking seems to make more sense.

Other big name institutions have suffered software related failures including, NatWest; RBS; and notably Knight Capital, whose software anomalies decimated its balance sheet. So whats going on?

App Ecosystem New Banking Experience

Free Apps! Everyone is doing it ...


For most, the dominant business model for the app economy is Free. It helps the company to ramp-up users in a hurry. However, it doesnt offer a lot of flexibility for its business model: companies either end-up selling themselves or begin selling ads. A recent article in Verve talks about a sustainable app development model: the future of app development is to give away as much value as possible and empower those who receive more value to pay more for it. An app business model should show how it can create, deliver, and capture value in a sustainable way.

Dashlane - Express checkout


One of online shoppers biggest complaints is that checking out takes too long. Online seamless payment processes are considered one of the main goals since V.me were launched in 2012. The idea of avoiding a tedious checkout has a great acceptance, and there are some tools that are helping to make purchase processes fast and easy, similar to the non-digital world (remember Digital is NOT different).

Offering a 5 year old boy, a helping hand; the DIY way


Two DIYers, Van As and Ian Owen, manufacture an open-source, lightweight, personalized prosthetic hand for a 5 year old boy, who was born without fingers on his right hand; for less than $150. The 3-D parts were made possible by Makerbot, which donated two 3-D printers, one each for Van As and Owen so they could swap CAD files as they refined the designs. Liam now can hold a basketball, and even pick up small things like coins by activating his new lightweight hand with a bend of his wrist. The duo is currently raising funds to further develop the Robohand.

Dashlane is going further than V.me being more than just a seamless digital wallet. Considered one if the Innovation of the Year Dashlane launched a tool for doing checkout almost instantaneously, filling automatically all the fields required, all the passwords needed, the payment information of credit cards, managing multiple identities, addresses, and payment information in a extremely secure way, using any device sync with the app.

Technology trends

ts main feature is storing safely all our account information of all the web services in which we are already signed up. We can access to these accounts instantaneously since Dashlane will log in without press any button. All the information and passwords saved in Dashlane are protected by a master password, that is only saved and encrypted locally, not by dashlane (and it can never be recovered if its forgotten!!), by using AES-256 encryption method,used by military, financial and government institutions. Dashlane also creates new encrypted accounts credentials and generate secure passwords for services not used before, and learns a users habits for frequently visited sites, filling in password, payment

information, and shipping specs with nearly twice the accuracy of its competitors. All these features make the checkout process much more easier than any other tool, and it can be completed in almost one click, also storing the purchase information and the bill in the app for you to track your expenses.
Watch the video in youtube to see how it works:

Beyond Passwords
We are going towards a world in which we will connect to our laptops, tablets and smartphones with our biometric features. James Bonds technology is no longer science-fiction. Our patterns are data. IBM Research predicted back in December 2011 that in five years passwords would be replaced by biometric recognition processes such as digital fingerprints, retina and iris readers, voice and the geometry and veins of the hands.

This start-up, with HQ in Paris and NY, was launched in 2009, and received $5Million funding (serie A), will be demoing at Finovate Europe next month presenting this express checkout process. We will be tuned, it sounds interesting (and it works!).

ut Intel has already created a tablet with a new software including a sensor able to recognize the palm vein pattern of a person just from a simple wave of the hand.

Sridhar Iyengar, director of Security Investigation in Intel Labs, showed this technology at the Intel Developer Forum 2012. When the device recognizes the person, all services are enabled, granting access with no need of passwords. The mechanism has accelerometers which detect if the user has moved away from the device and automatically block the session and cut the access.

BBVA invests in
A new strategic initiative by BBVA, by the name of BBVA Ventures, will invest $100 million in start-up companies that prove crucial for the development of the financial services industry. Entrepreneurs and venture capital investors alike are teaming up with BBVA Ventures to look for innovation and emerging trends on financial services, as well as exchanging knowledge for the industrys sake.

innovation

nvesting in start-up companies committed to new business models enables BBVA to learn and anticipate the new environments that the sector will face in the future, said Jay Reinemann, co-founding executive director for BBVA Ventures. Moreover, entrepreneurs and co-investors can use BBVAs extensive experience, brand and global distribution network to accelerate their growth. By making strategic investments in venture backed start-ups, BBVAs aim is to stimulate the research on developments in technology and emerging business models, both of which already are of capital importance for the bank. Mobility, data analytics and e-commerce, among others, are some of the key areas to be covered by the companies in portfolio, which in exchange will get soundness and the possibility to implement innovations in an experienced group with a strong international presence. We believe that the partnership model of BBVA Ventures provides the most efficient and effective access to emerging trends and disruptive innovation which ultimately maximizes shareholder value, stated Carlos Torres, head of Strategic and Corporate Development division at the BBVA Group. And it does. In early 2012, BBVA Ventures completed its first investment in Silicon Valley, through The 500 Start-ups Fund, set up by Dave McClure, former marketing executive at PayPal and a highly respected engineer and entrepreneur. Up to 300 companies have taken advantage of this investments, and its already turning up results. Simple, inDinero, PeerTransfer or WePay, are only some examples of the fruition of the programme. The BBVA Group has been investing in innovation and technology for many years now, in order to anticipate the deep transformation the financial industry is eventually undergoing. Actually, this transformation is already taking place with the development of new

digital channels and means of payment that are generating new customer relationship models. Against this backdrop, BBVAs firm commitment to new technologies through functions such as BBVA Ventures makes it one of the few banks that are ready to tackle the changes and compete in the market.
