The appointment of a hardware-focused CEO could signal a renewed emphasis on innovation, particularly in emerging categories such as wearables, foldable devices, and AI-integrated products. Globe's IT arm, the Information Systems Group, is hosting the 6th Globe Innovation Month. With the Innovation Month, Globe is encouraging its employees to embrace digital transformation through a series of events and workshops. To kick things off, Globe hosted the Innovation Forum 2019, gathering leaders, game changers, and employees of the company for a two-day discussion on challenges and trends that affect digital customers and the solutions they can undertake to face them. Through the forum, Globe has introduced the following activities for Innovation Month, namely Coding for Kids, Mindbrew, and DevZone. Apart from the aforementioned activities, the Innovation Forum also discussed learning topics such as Digital Services Operations, Digital Enterprise, Digital Infrastructure, and Agile and Digital Workforce. Through an exhibit, Globe's Partners also showcased technologies, products, and devices that fit with the Innovation Month's theme of co-creating a Digital Globe. The BSP said the new framework supports its broader goal of promoting digital payments, financial inclusion, and innovation while ensuring adequate consumer protection and regulatory oversight.
