The Challenge

The Wealth and Personal Banking Business of the Organisation required wholesale organisational redesign to align it with overarching Organisation’s strategy. The mandate was to adopt a ‘zero-based’ approach to design, creating a business structured aligned to its vision and purpose. At 90,000+ FTE spread across 25 markets, this was an ambitious project that required global collaboration. The key objectives of the redesign were to:

  • Create an organisation focused on its strengths, digitises at scale and delivers customer value
  • Become a simpler organisation that is leaner and more nimble
  • Ensure accountabilities and decision making are clear
  • Empower the business to focus on delivery and execution by equipping them to maintain a robust OD

Our Approach

  • We adopted a zero-based approach to design, using our tried and tested methodology
  • We defined the design and identified opportunities across three elements:
  • Design Principles: and definition of key elements e.g. role of Region, role of Group
  • Transversal Design: cross-cutting design area, themes or issues that require resolution for the design to be successful
  • Vertical design: deep-dives in to the design of each ExCo members area
  • Key to implementing change across such a large organisation was creating strong governance and leadership buy-in, and establishing a Design Authority which was used to assess designs

Key Outcomes

  • Delivered c.12% ($130m) savings, enabling their redefined strategy and enhancing the client’s pivot to Asia
  • Reduction of 800 permanent FTEs
  • Simpler, more consistent design oriented towards delivering strategic priorities
  • Upskilling of internal teams to maintain robust OD, including templates, toolkits, and masterclass sessions
  • Documented future activities and who is accountable for delivering them
  • Clear purpose for each L4 area, with future activities, FTE and cost defined for each L4 area to L6
  • Created opportunity to move to ‘Always On’ OD through development of data capabilities – helping to maintain integrity of designs
