A study of 275 professional portfolio managers reported that the ability to execute strategy was more important than the quality of the strategy itself (“Measures That Matter,” Ernst & Young, Boston, 1998) (“M Th t M tt ” E t Y B t In the early 1980s, a survey of management consultants reported that less than 10 percent of effectively formulated strategies were implemented successfully (Walter Kiechel, “Corporate Strategists Under Fire,” Fortune, Dec. 27, 1982). A 1999 Fortune article, in a cover story of prominent CEO failures, concluded that the emphasis placed on strategy and vision created a mistaken belief that the right strategy was all that was needed to succeed The authors concluded that “…in succeed. in the majority of cases—we estimate 70 percent—the real problem isn’t [bad strategy]…it’s bad execution.” (R.

...Citibank Performance Evaluation Case Assignment – 7 pts. a. If you think that James’ customers are actually more or less satisfied than the level of satisfaction indicated by the scores on the Customer Satisfaction Score metric. Briefly discuss how you feel about this and why you feel as you do. From the exhibit, we can’t see the specific standards to measure customers’ satisfaction. Thus we can’t identify what part of service performed not well. On the other hand, customers rated not only their branch, but also other Citibank services such as ATM’s that were out of the control of branch managers. At this condition, we need to look for other performance items related with customer service to evaluate the real performance. Look at those items “Customer Interaction/Focus”, “Business Ethics/Integrity”, and “Community Involvement” and “Employee Satisfaction”. As we can see, all these items are more or less related to the customers’ satisfaction. All the items are rated a higher score than the customers’ satisfaction. Through all the year, all the items are rated above par expect the customer interaction in the third quarter, which is on the par. In all, I think the real customers’ satisfaction would be better than the score showed in the report. b. Now assume that it is 2015 and that Citibank has been using the Performance Scorecard as described in the case for the past 18 years. You are asked how you would change the system...

...com/business-school-cases/citibank-performance-evaluation-case-analysis/ Citibank: Performance Evaluation Case Analysis November 21, 2010 James McGaran’s Performance Evaluation. Doing the year-end performance evaluation for James McGaran, the branch manager of the flagship office in the Los Angeles area, was probably one of the most difficult experiences in all my years with Citibank in the capacity of area manager. James has been not just an exemplary employee in our area, but really someone who other branch managers could always look up to. His career with Citibank has been a quick progression through the ranks from the assistant branch manager to the manager position at the most important of all the bank branches in the Los Angeles area – the Financial District office. Until this year his performance exceeded expectations in every single year. His financial results have been truly impressive. However with the introduction of the new performance scorecard which reflected the company’s broadening of the evaluation scope to customer satisfaction score, it became obvious that this was essentially the only area where James’ performance was lacking. At the same time Frits Seegers, President of Citibank California, was convinced that customer satisfaction indicator was important not only for meeting ever-increasing expectations of highly-sophisticated clients, but also for achieving strategic goals of the division, and staying competitive. Since five of the six performance measures in...

...acct 6201 | Measuring performance: The Balanced Scorecard | Citibank: Performance evaluation | | | | In an age in which financial performance is dependent on more than the management of tangible assets, it is necessary to move beyond traditional financial performance measurement and evaluate the adjacent behaviors which ultimately lead to improved financial success. Citibank has moved forward by introducing a new performance scorecard evaluation system. While it maintains a traditional focus on financial goals, additional measures meant to align the behaviors of employees throughout its organization with the company’s overall strategy are included. In particular, Citibank realizes that financial success is significantly dependent on overall customer satisfaction. The scorecard is meant to reinforce behaviors that will bring upper management’s strategy and vision to fruition. Lisa consistently rated James above par throughout the year in all categories besides Customer Satisfaction. Although she may have been less than apt in critically reviewing his actual performance (i.e. across Strategy Implementation), it would be less than genuine to suddenly alter the standards by which James is being evaluated. On the six measurements for which Lisa must evaluate James, she should rate him as follows: Financial: Above Par Strategy Implementation: Above Par Customer Satisfaction: Below Par Control: Above Par People: Above Par Standards: Above Par Overall: Par ...

...deposits, loans, money market investments, etc., that may be summarized on a single bank statement. What is the new Performance Scorecard? While financial measures typically were the way Citibank measured success in the past, they recognized a need to measure customer service as well, and thus developed a Performance Scorecard. The six different types of measures the Performance Scorecard evaluated were: financial strategy implementation customer satisfaction control people standards Citibank felt it was necessary to update the previous evaluations to include non-financial measures because they recognized that these measures may in fact be more critical to the long term success of the franchise. As a result, by adding the non-financial measures to the current measures, Citibank was able to reflect competitive dimensions in the bank's strategy. Why is the Customer Satisfaction Score metric an important component? Customer satisfaction indicator was important not only for meeting ever-increasing expectations of highly-sophisticated clients, but also for achieving strategic goals of the division, and staying competitive. Citibank’s current strategy focused on customer service as a key differentiator. Hence, Customer Satisfaction measure is considered as critical to the long term success of the bank, as well as a leading indicator of future financial performance. If customer satisfaction were to deteriorate, it was only a matter of time before it showed in the financials...

It could be a good chance for Citibank’s growth, so Citibank has started to branch banking business since 1978. Actually, performance of Asia-Pacific branches is not bad. In 1988, Citibank earned $69.7 million, but Citibank does not satisfy with its performance. Citibank’s goal is $100 million until 1990. For this goal, Citibank launched the most innovative service such as telephone banking service. And now, Citibank is planning to launch a new product credit card. Acquiring card customers means that Citibank has more opportunities to crosssell product line: Auto Loans, Ready Credit, Deposits, and Mortgage Power, Citibank’s core products. But many of Citibank headquarters have doubts...

...markets. Rational for the recommended course of action: Due to the difference in the service charge that Citibank charges comparing to other local banks, and due to the local government protection of the domestic banks, it’s almost impossible to get ahead by pricing competition for Citibank. It will also hurt Citibank’s current position. Keeping the upper class positioning and developing more market share are the goals of Citibank. Thus, providing more perceived value will be the only way to attract more middle-class and upper class consumers. What marketing strategy will be used? In order to find the best answers, we are going to have marketing testing in three countries, which are totally different types of market. Citigroup (The mother company of Citibank) has an outstanding performance in Singapore, a normal position in Australia and a low market share in Taiwan. (GMID, 2011) We will focus on attracting more individuals from the middle-class and the high-class by offering better and more variety and promotions than what American Express offers its consumers, instead of decreasing the price for Citigroup’s credit cards which is going to hurt the image of Citibank as viewed cheap to enter and anyone could get it.

...ISIS PAPYRUS CASE STUDIES The key to success in today’s very competitive finance sector is the capability to offer new products and services to customers fast and efficiently. Related business documents, like bank statements or loan agreements, play a strategic role in the business process, as banks have moved to self-service methods such as electronic bank tellers and Internet services. Customer documents become the primary communication vehicle. Competitive Customer Documents in the Finance Sector Business documents have to be of high quality, contain detailed and well structured information and a unique content for every customer. Targeted marketing information, dynamic charts produced from business data, spot or full color statements, which are often produced for priority customers only, are common requirements today. Consolidated Statements A good example of such a service strategy is Citibank’s consolidated bank statement. It contains not just the current status of one account at a time, but summarizes and details all the customer's accounts down to the scanned images of all cancelled checks. At the same time it uses the same document to inform of the bank’s new offerings and services by including marketing messages targeted conditionally on the customer’s status. And there is more • Detailed and summarized information on various different accounts; savings, credit card, loans, investments, etc. in a consolidated document • The account status...

...Business Policy Assignment: “Creating Shared Value” CITIBANK & HSBC 9/26/2013 D Siddhartha Reddy-014 PGDM-Finance Executive Summary How to reinvent capitalism and unleash a wave of innovation and growth by Michael Porter and Mark Kramer Shared Value is a new form of capitalism. The idea of shared value was initially explored by the authors in December 2006 HBR. Shared value is not social responsibility, philanthropy, or even sustainability, but a new way to achieve economic success. In the article Porter & Kramer criticize neoclassical thinking on the trade-off between societal needs and economic success, and the way the concept of ‘externalities’ have shaped corporate and policy strategy. Article says that corporations should aim at creating shared value rather than only profits; this would lead to innovation and redefining of the capitalism, which as it stands is at logger heads with the society and looks at CSR as a philanthropic act done to please others. Article also questions the current perspective of viewing maximization of economic value of firm and achieving social obligations as a tradeoff. Article says that companies do face several internal cost caused due to social harms created by the company’s activities which comes back to bite the economic value created by the companies. Shared value then has not to be looked at as ‘sharing’ value which is already created by companies with society; rather it is increasing the pie of value created by respecting...

...(1) What are the main driver(s) of the bank’s profit? (loan growth, cost cutting or a release of loss reserves) * Short term driver Slide 6: Firstly, i would like to talk with you about the main drivers of Citigroup’s profitability. Overall, Citigroup Q1 financial performance was an improved net income of $3.0 billion, which is a 4-quarter high. Citigroup revenues in the first quarter 2011 were $19.7 billion, up 7% sequentially, but down 22% from the first quarter 2010 due to lower securities, declining assets in Citi Holdings and the loss on the asset transfer. Citi-bank’s profitability appears to have fallen quite significantly in Q1/2011, such that ROE is 1.75% in the first quarter this year compared to 2.92% in the March 2010 quarter. ROE was generated by ROA 0.154% and Equity Multiplier 11.4 (which is lower than in the previous period), where this ROA indicates that management are not utilising the company’s resources as well as it was at the same time in the previous year. | 31/3/2011 | 31/3/2010 | | Return on Equity | 1.75% | 2.92% | | Return on Assets | 0.154% | 0.219% | | Equity Multiplier | 11.384 | 13.325 | | However, by executing appropriate strategy with discipline, Citi Group losses continued to decrease due to an increase in capital ( u can see that Citigroup Tier 1 Common ratio increased from 9.19% in Q1 2010 to 11.41% in Q1 2011 clearly showcasing the group’s growing capital strength).

...In the case of Citibank India, the bank is many problems; however, the following problems are severely affecting the bank in the type of service they provide. The major challenge being whether they should redefine their business objectives by changing their current target market. While, the secondary problem being lack of partnerships with stores to give the consumer the option to collect loyalty points. The primary problem of market segmentation arises because the bank is not targeting all types of consumer markets in India. The bank separates its consumers into four types of consumer segments; super-affluent, affluent, emerging affluent and mass market. The first two segments consist of families with high-salaried income and the last two segments consist of households with self-employed individuals. Currently, the bank has a strategy of targeting the high-salaried households as they have the ability to spend significantly more than the mass-market. This segment, the super affluent and affluent only consists of about 15 million households, and it is very saturated as it has slow growth rate. While, on the other hand, the self-employed individuals tend to spend less compared to the high-salaried individuals, however they make up more than 50 million households. This consumer segment is growing and with the rising household disposable income, they are going to have more spending power by 2015. Other foreign banks in India also segment their consumer; however, they provide services...

...CASE: Citibank: Launching the Credit Card in Asia-Pacific (A) (HBS 9-595-026) Rana Talwar, head of Citibank's Asia Pacific Consumer Bank, is considering introducing a credit card to enhance the growth of future revenues. Talwar feels that the credit card would enable the bank to target customers outside its thriving branch banking operation and then cross-sell other Citibank products and services to these customers, but he is facing a healthy amount of skepticism from Citibank's New York headquarters and general reluctance from the country managers in Asia Pacific. If Talwar does decide to go ahead with launching the credit card, he has to decide how to implement the program in the very diverse Asia-Pacific region. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. What are the strengths and weaknesses of Citibank in Asia in 1989? Does it have the strengths to launch this credit card initiative successfully? Are there any sources of vulnerability from the weaknesses that will lead to failure? 2. What are the needs of consumers for credit cards in the Asia Pacific region? Will the Citibank credit card deliver on those needs? 3. What are the objectives of Citibank? What role can the credit card play in getting Citibank where it wants to go in this region? 4. What are the characteristics of the markets for credit cards in the Asia Pacific region (competition, channels of distribution, and...
