Banking

The bar for what it means to be a successful player in the Banking sector has been raised. Challenges must be addressed before success can be achieved. First, the market is seeing discontinuous growth driven by new products and services that include opportunities in wealth management and consumer finance on the retail side, and in fee-based income and investment banking on the wholesale banking side. These require new skills in sales & marketing, credit and operations. Also, given the demographic shifts resulting from changes in age profile and household income, consumers will increasingly demand enhanced institutional capabilities and service levels from banks.

Banks could reach the next level of their growth by continuing to innovate and develop differentiated business models to profitably serve different segments; actively adopting acquisitions as a means to grow and reaching the next level of performance in their service platforms. Attracting, developing and retaining more leadership capacity would be key to achieving this and would pose the biggest challenge. The Banking sector needs leaders with vision, ability to innovate, ability to boost the morale of their organizations, and create stakeholder value.
