1 Customer Management & Experience Roland Berger perspectives on client-centric banking Dubai, 07 May 2013
2 Executive Summary Customer Management is the conscious effort to maximize revenue by building a bank's interaction with clients on a thorough understanding of what motivates them do business with the bank Conventional focus of customer management on business banking needs only (and credit!) does not suffice to make SME relationships profitable To make Customer Management matter in a bank's operational, everyday reality, it needs to spell out the "customer experience", i.e. how client needs and preferences will actually be addressed For an effective design of "experiences", the bank needs to understand what clients really value beyond their economic and industry sector profile Customer Management guides the bank to action by identifying the critical enablers and that need to be in place to deliver these "experiences" consistently, and any need for improvement
Customer Management defines the targeted customer experience for each SME segment/ profile along the customer life cycle Defining customer experiences Key Consideration > Customer management is to define the customer experience along the client life cycle > Is relevant accross business banking and retail banking offering > Customer experience as a segment & profile-specific bundle of available products & pricing bank & value added services coverage and communication channel Relevance > Perceived level of customer experience is the central test whether the bank's value proposition is effective > Opportunities for cross-selling and increased share of wallet only stem from satisfied clients > Trigger word-of-mouth of promoters as most effective marketing tool Steps towards best practice > Define target "customer experiences" as a key element in value proposition design > Value-based profiling captures banking-relevant features of clients beyond economic-sector factors > Attention to key enablers/ challenges: identify change initiatives that address the "critical attributes" for delivering on client expectations 3
