...A Project Management approach to Service Delivery within the Financial Services Sector; A case study of CAL BANK 1.1 Background The competitiveness of service business is contingent, at least in part, on the design and configuration of quality service delivery and the value proposition inherent in such services (Frei and Harker, 1999; Johnston and Clark, 2005; Verma et al., 2002). Therefore,congruence high level of alignment between a service experience and value for money is crucial for success of all organizations. From this perspective, a study aimed at investigating how project management can be successfully applied to service firms (banks) to lead to quality service delivery for customers is highly justified, as customers are the life blood of any organization. Indeed, several empirical studies suggest that firms achieve higher levels of profitability and performance through successful implementation of project management (PM) (Sauser et al, 2009; Lockett et al, 2008; Chin, 2004; Atkinson et al, 2006; Alleman, 2008; Gallo and Gardiner, 2007; Fernandez and Fernandez, 2009). Moreover, project management has been proven to have the ability to enhance flexibility, remove bureaucracy and also to create room for adaptability (Gomes et al, 2008; Lockett et al, 2008; Lord, 1993). Similarly, the argument for providing quality service has far been advanced by many scholars both in marketing and management circles. For example, Heskett & Sasser, (2010) documents the importance...

...is a key focus amongst ethical banks (in this field specially called sustainability or green banks) as well as amongst many conventional banks that wish to appear more ethically oriented or that see switching to more environmental practices to be to their advantage. In general bankers “consider themselves to be in a relatively environmentally friendly industry (in terms of emissions and pollution). However, given their potential exposure to risk, they have been surprisingly slow to examine the environmental performance of their clients. A stated reason for this is that such an examination would ‘require interference’ with a client’s activities. While the desire to not meddle in the business of the client is valid, one could also note that banks are required to interfere in the business of their clients regularly to ensure that the clients’ business plan is viable before issuing them a loan. The kind of analysis that all banks partake in is termed a single bottom line analysis (this analysis only considers financial performance). It is arguable whether or not performing a triple bottom line analysis (an analysis that takes into account environmental, social, and financial performance) would be any more intrusive in case of banking sector. As far as internal ethics of banks are concerned, it starts with the well being of employees, employee and customer satisfaction, benefits, wages, unionization, fair sex and race representation, and the banks environmental standing....

...September 3, 2013 Mohawk National Bank "You're really going to have your work cut out for you, Randy," remarked Pat Coleman, vice president for operations. "It's not going to be easy establishing a project management organizational structure on top of our traditional structure. We're going to have to absorb the lumps and bruises and literally 'force' the system to work." BACKGROUND Between 1988 and 1998, Mohawk National matured into one of Maine's largest full-service banks, employing a full-time staff of some 1,200 employees. Of the 1,200 employees, approximately 700 were located in the main offices in downtown Augusta. Mohawk matured along with other banks in the establishment of computerized information processing and decision-making. Mohawk leased the most up-to-date computer equipment in order to satisfy customer demands. By 1994, almost all departments were utilizing the computer. By 1995, the bureaucracy of the traditional management structure was creating severe administrative problems. Mohawk's management had established many complex projects to be pursued, each one requiring the involvement of several departments. Each department manager was setting his or her own priorities for the work that had to be performed. The traditional organization was too weak structurally to handle problems that required integration across multiple departments. Work from department to department could not be tracked because there was no project manager who could act as focal...

Yes, a famous quote of John F. Kennedy, but, probably, more egocentric. Indeed, we wanted to gain. What exactly? The most important we wanted to gain the feeling of success after a difficult work. As we mentioned difficult we wanted a challenge. As we mentioned a challenge it means we didn’t want to take a company where the problem is evident, which by our understanding is any negative event in the company such as financial losses or bad publicity. After a series of discussions, we decided to take a very successful company and find how we can help to make it even more successful. The reason for such approach is that it becomes more difficult to find any serious issues, but at the same time the reality of such case increases as in the real world, in most cases, we are employed by well functioning companies, where these serious issues are not so evident.
