ACTION POINTS



Introduction



Key findings



Action point 1: Despite increasing focus on ROI and cost control, retail banks



need to continue investing in key areas such as CRM to build competitive



advantage and to reap the benefits of previous investments.



Action point 2: Banks must treat CRM organizational issues as critical to



overall CRM success and of at least equal importance to IT systems



implementations. Neglect of the business process issues surrounding CRM



implementations has impacted efficiency gains achieved post implementation.



Action point 3: The single operational customer database is the starting point



of channel integration and creating a seamlessly integrated channel structure



and intelligent and consistent customer interaction.



Action point 4: Through an increasing analytical capability, banks must shift



their focus away from customer volume to customer value. This will only be



possible when banks understand the actual value of each relationship as well as



have the means to act on this information and design personalized relationships



to maximize benefit to customer and bank.



Action point 5: Vendors must create flexible offerings enabling banks to benefit



from a rapid ROI without having to buy into further vendor architecture or other



applications.
