This report should be 2,500 words (±10% and excluding the references and appendices from word count). To complete this report, you should analyse the given case study about the DBS’s Digital Transformation and answer six questions related to this case study. This report does not have any prescribed structure and should simply focus on answering the questions listed below:

• Do you believe the hackathon program at DBS to be successful? Should the bank take it to the next level? Explain how DBS should do that?
• Was setting up the Digibank unit the best option to move the DBS digital transformation agenda forward? The bank also considered pursuing the digital transformation agenda internally or setting up an external unit. What are the pros and cons of each approach?
• How does the business model that Digibank is pursuing in India compare to the DBS model in the home market? Are the two similar or different?
• What should the next steps be for DBS to advance its digital transformation agenda?

You will receive 0% for the task. 'Day' means working day for paper submissions and calendar day for electronic submissions.

• Building evidence of your experiences, skills and knowledge (Portfolio) - Building a portfolio that evidences your skills, knowledge and experience will provide you with a valuable tool to help you prepare for interviews and to showcase to potential employers. There are a number of tools that you can use to build a portfolio.  You are provided with cloud space through OneDrive, or through the Portfolio tool in the Cloud Unit Site, but you can use any storage repository system that you like. Remember that a Portfolio is YOUR tool. You should be able to store your assessment work, reflections, achievements and artefacts in YOUR Portfolio. Once you have completed this assessment piece, add it to your personal Portfolio to use and showcase your learning later, when applying for jobs, or further studies.  Curate your work by adding meaningful tags to your artefacts that describe what the artefact represents.
