Diebold Nixdorf announces initiative to 'crowdstorm' next-gen financial services
September 27, 2016
Diebold Nixdorf has announced a crowdstorming project aimed at creating new consumer services for financial institutions operating in an increasingly digital environment.
According to a press release, the online brainstorming initiative, "Rethinking services and consumer touchpoints in the financial industry," will tap into a global pool of more than 80,000 creative professionals on the jovoto crowdstorming platform.
Jovoto is a community-building, collaborative model that establishes a virtual link between skilled, entrepreneurial-minded professionals and enterprises from nearly all sectors.
In the release, Diebold Nixdorf said that it welcomes unique, original ideas from groups outside the industry presenting innovative ways to bridge the digital and physical worlds while leveraging new and emerging technologies.
"In the spirit of collaborative innovation, we ... invite creative thinkers around the world to share visions for the future of this industry," said CEO Andy Mattes. "Together with the jovoto community, we are seeking groundbreaking concepts that rethink consumer touch points at a time when basic financial transactions are becoming increasingly commoditized and technologies like virtual reality will become commonplace. This approach gives us the opportunity to strengthen our pursuit of the most groundbreaking financial services for consumers."An international jury, consisting of experts from Capital One, BBVA and Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and including fintech companies such as FinTechCity, finovent and Gruenderszene will select the most promising ideas.
In addition to monetary awards, selected contestants will have the opportunity to present their ideas to the company. The winning ideas of the first phase of the contest will be announced at a webinar on November 15, which will also provide additional information about each applicant.
