Improving Inter-divisional Relationships in a Large Bank |
When it comes to helping companies develop processes that will enable them to work more effectively both within and between divisions, Bath Consultancy Group has a lot of experience, such as the company’s recent work with the Operations and Technology division of a large international bank.
A newly appointed head of the O&T division recognised that
interfaces between customers, head office and the country heads
of O&T needed improving.
There was potential for those based in other
countries to see the center of the function that collected
data for the head
office, instead of one that shared knowledge and added value.
Relationships
revolved around reacting, delivering, maintaining and cost-saving,
rather than strategy.
The need to develop his leadership team was
recognized immediately by the new manager. With the help of
Bath Consultancy Group,
the leaders identified patterns that were stopping them from
working effectively with customers and country managers globally.
Leadership top team events were held and action plans were
established to help the team work in new ways across a global
structure.
As a result, relationships with key customers
improved significantly on a strategic partnership level, those
based in other countries
saw O&T as sharing their knowledge more successfully, and
change happened effectively and efficiently.
