Developing business strategy
Banks must be clear what they are offering their customers, and use this focus to decide what they should, and more importantly should not be doing. Current strategy projects include helping a global financial services firm based in the US understand how mobile telephony will fit into future strategy.
Driving performance and enhancing transparency
Efficiency in operations and IT is more important than ever, in anything from payments processing to defining working processes.
Making the most of IT
Many financial institutions operate on core systems from the eighties or nineties which fail to meet today’s needs, and will not meet tomorrow’s.
Enabling people to perform
We help to tackle the challenges of leadership during large-scale change and adopt new approaches to talent development, remuneration and retention.
Delivering successful integration
Mergers and divestments will continue to shape the banking landscape and we help plan and deliver structural changes through due diligence, transaction management and post deal transformation.
Identifying and managing risk and responding to regulation
Financial institutions must decide what risk they want to take, make sure they understand and measure it, and target and price their products accordingly. PA's recent work includes the design and roll-out of an award-winning risk strategy at a leading US bank.
