OneLife’s Digital Days Raise Awareness of Virtual and Augmented Reality Over the last two years, OneLife has been transforming itself by making a solid investment in technology and people; digital has become, in a decisive way, the cornerstone of its evolution.
Many projects were delivered in 2016, demonstrating OneLife's determination to make digital a part of its core business. With an even more demanding programme in 2017, numerous initiatives involving all members of the company will set the pace for the year. The main project is the digitisation of on-boarding: the RegTech (KYC/AML) to start with, and a digital signature under construction.
This programme kicked off with the "OneLife Digital Days" on 14 and 15 June 2017. These two days provided the opportunity to raise employees' awareness of what the digital world of tomorrow will be like and its major impact on the job market. It was also the moment to launch a MOOC-type training platform for all its employees to meet the challenge of training in the digital age.
On Day 1, 14 June: OneLife employees had the opportunity in a fun learning environment to fly drones, try out 3D printers and to immerse themselves in virtual and augmented reality. The CEO of Vigo Universal, Christophe Hermanns, hosted the conference, with a goal of taking stock of what myth and reality mean and what new technologies really will change. Christophe Hermanns opened: “By 2020, over 50 billion objects, from watches to tooth brushes, will be connected!’ Marc Stevens, CEO of OneLife, stressed that "OneLife is investing to bridge the gaps in understanding about digital and what it can concretely bring to the everyday life of each employee."
Christophe Regnault, Digital Marketing Manager, OneLife, says: "Digital? It's all about people. More than a slogan, it's a reality. It is essential that digital is shared by all our employees so that the digital dynamic is an integral part of everyone's contribution."
On Day 2, 15 June: Through workshops focused on the financial sector, employees were able to professionally integrate the reality of the digital revolution in their work. All the challenges that OneLife wishes to help its employees meet -- BlockChain, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, chatbots, Reg Tech, digital signatures -- represent the next steps in its digital roadmap.
Nasir Zubairi, CEO of LHoFT (Luxembourg House of FinTech), shared his experiences on integrating disruptive technologies in the financial sector. He stated: "The opportunities offered by digital are incredible provided that you are able to think differently and solve problems. OneLife’s environment is conducive to this state of mind’.
Nicolas Schmit, Minister of Labour, Employment & Social Economy, rounded off the day by recalling Luxembourg's goals for digital training and the importance of private sector initiatives such as OneLife’s Digital Days. He indicated: "I appreciate OneLife’s approach. Skills are fundamental and have to be constantly developed. It’s a subject that has to be carefully considered. We should all collaborate to make Luxembourg better in this respect. Together, we can succeed’.
