TIME / Manager
Vincenzo is a Partner and a member of our TIME Practice. Based in Dubai, he works closely with our teams covering Technology-related projects – often in convergence with other practices helping to create new value at the interface of industries.
Vincenzo’s experience is focused on Operational Excellence program in the definition and implementation of complex Cost Efficiency Program, Operating model redesign and sophisticated Strategic Sourcing Projects. He is oriented to problem solving supported by an analytical and creative approach, and has an excellent capability to manage extended and multicultural teams with relevant budgets.
Vincenzo holds a Master in Business Administration in Bocconi and a PhD in finance in Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
Before joining Arthur D. Little, Vincenzo worked for other leading strategy consulting firms and Telecom Operator in Europe.
Reshaping telecom investment in a next-generation world
Telco operators are facing declining profitability from a combination of stagnant or negative revenue growth resulting from competition and increasing CAPEX/OPEX caused by increasing user traffic. While operators have always run efficiency programs, traditional methods are no longer sufficient to meet current financial constraints and future market evolution. This Viewpoint explains how successfully managing costs requires a new, more granular, holistic approach.
Migrating to the next network
The telecom industry is evolving rapidly, simultaneously witnessing the rise of new, advanced network transitions while current technology becomes obsolete. This Viewpoint explores how mobile telecom operators can effectively implement customer migration acceleration programs to optimize operations, migrate customers to advanced networks, and unlock new opportunities in a future-ready telecom landscape.
Enabling a sustainable telco ecosystem
Sustainability has become increasingly important to telco business strategy and operations. Although individual 5G equipment is more energy-efficient than its predecessors, the need for more extensive, denser networks will increase overall direct energy consumption. Amid rising energy prices, how can telcos achieve their sustainability goals, while enabling broader decarbonization? In this Viewpoint, we provide frameworks and strategies telcos can use to improve sustainability.
The cyber battlefield
Cyberattackers are increasingly dominating the cyber battlefield against cyber defenders. Novel multi-extortion techniques, ransomware as a service (RaaS), and unprecedented supply chain attacks have almost erased barriers to entry for hackers and expanded the cyber spoils “pie.” Cyber defenders struggle to keep up with their opponents’ advances. Cybersecurity is on board agendas but is often seen as a “hygiene” measure that is part of the IT budget.
Operations 4.0
The five tech pillars that will make or break telco operators in 2022
Extracting network operations efficiency in the post-COVID-19 era
How telecom operators can overcome complexity and demand challenges
Evolving pricing of mobile tariff plans
The telecom industry is standing at a crossroads, with increasing users, rapid technology shifts, usage shifts to content services, exponential growth in data usage, and ever-increasing competition. Global trends for mobile services show that average revenue per user (ARPU) is declining, whereas data consumption per SIM is increasing. For operators to be future commercial winners, they must provide a higher quality of service and offer larger data packs bundled with added features to increase the price elasticity of demand.
Monetizing investments in telecom network infrastructure
In an investment-driven industry such as telecommunications, optimizing investment decisions has always represented a key competitive advantage for operators. However, in a market characterized by stagnating growth rates and increasing competition, where many telecommunication companies are facing flat or even decreasing revenues, keeping up with the latest technologies in order to ensure differentiation and meet the increasing demands of interactive services becomes binding.
Reimagining telco operations in a hyper-digital world
Organizations in today’s digital age are witnessing technology trends that are profoundly reshaping value chains across industries. Digitalization is an all-pervasive trend acting as the disruptor-in-chief of business and operating models across converging industries. The telecom industry, which is at the heart of the digitalization megatrend and a key digitalization enabler, is not immune to this disruption.
Samena Trends
Telecom operators have a real opportunity to reduce operational costs by 30-40% whilst improving service quality and customer satisfaction.This is primarily achieved by reducing / eliminating operational complexities accumulated during the growth phase and digitalizing the operations.
Beyond the best network operations!
Current international industry trends predict mid-term reductions of profitability margins for telecom operators, in particularfor mature markets. This is a result of huge investments (GSMA estimates that telecom operators will invest $1.7 trillionon capex during 2014-2020) that are required to build next-generation networks in order to satisfy the data- demandexplosion and revenue reduction caused by mobile price wars and competition from OTT.
Pricing Benchmark
In our current Voice and MBB Services Tariff Plans Benchmarking edition we observed, mostly in the Western Europe, continuous trends of decreasing prices and an increasing of data allowances and consumption with a consequent growing demand for Networks Infrastructure
Time to better leverage LTE?
The current global trend towards tariff reduction highlights the importance of generating and promoting data usage through LTE’s enhanced customer experience. Introducing value-added services can also be a functional way for mobile operators to promote broadband usage; when successfully perceived by customers as a differentiation factor, it can be a rewarding way to enhance the value proposition and support sustainable growth.
TowerCo MNOs: a win-win opportunity?
Media and TLC Operators look at tower deals as a source of cash in response to increasing competition, decreasing prices, high debt positions and increasing Capex requirements. From its experience with TowerCo deals, Arthur D. Little describes four fundamental variables that shape a deal, presents a use case with sensitivity analysis and offers further considerations.
Maximizing Quality of Experience
The deployment of 4G networks gives consumers access to higher mobile Internet speed, as well as new services and applications. Customers are increasingly turning to interactive services and applications, and are highly aware of service experience.
