Leadership and GovernanceLeadership and Governance

Innovation from Investment in Human Capital

- A Turning Point for Financial Services

Page 7: Ben Venter Chairman: BANKSETA Council  & Conference Session Chair

Themes

Crisis in Governance• Excessive focus on shareholder value

• Weak leadership

Transformation• Focus on customer value

• Investment in human beings

Page 8: Ben Venter Chairman: BANKSETA Council  & Conference Session Chair

Lessons from the UK

Two and possibly three generations of retail banking Governance is about stakeholders

– Customers, Shareholders, Staff, Regulators Type 1

– Pre competition (say pre 1990)

• Regulation by eyebrows

• Winners: employees, regulators,

• Losers: customers, shareholders

Page 9: Ben Venter Chairman: BANKSETA Council  & Conference Session Chair

Type II banking in the UK

Driven by competition (HSBC etc…), and technology– Contested takeovers– Scale and Consolidation– Promiscuity and churn– Acquisition vs retention models– Poor structures for dealing with this– 40million mail shots

Winners• Shareholders• Customers (a little)

– Losers• Staff

What does a type II bank look like?

Page 11: Ben Venter Chairman: BANKSETA Council  & Conference Session Chair

The problems with type II banks

“Product pipelines” push sales– But consumers cannot be separated into transactions

Channels manage (cut) costs– But there are linkages between the two

• Eg driving service out of the branches• Driving sales in call centres

Type II not– A service proposition– A customer focussed proposition

What would a type III bank look like?

Vision: Can you see it?

Managers think about doing– Reasoning from solutions back to problems

– The doing drives the thinking

– Task Cultures Much management activity is about persuasion

– Emotional

– Rhetoric

– Highly intuitive

Page 15: Ben Venter Chairman: BANKSETA Council  & Conference Session Chair

Capability: Can you do it?

Robustness– Broadening your range of behaviours

– Personal growth in this Dialogue

– The ZOUD Maturity

– Discretionary CEO type behaviour

Cost savings from eliminating & reducing

Cost advantagesfrom high volume

Superior value by raising and creating

What factors should be eliminated that our industry takes for granted?

What factors should be reduced well below the industry standard?

What factors should be raided well above the industry standard?

What factors should be created that the industry has never offered?

But you need to continuously do it . . .Repeating Value Innovation

Leverage the Product, Service andDelivery platforms over time

Do this by continuously investing in knowledge – human capital

Global Inequality

Three desiderata (UN)– Development

• Economic and Social

– including Life expectancy

– Peace

– Human Rights Africa does much worse on these measures than

other developing countries

Page 28: Ben Venter Chairman: BANKSETA Council  & Conference Session Chair

Africa in particular

1820-1998 Africa share of world gdp declined, much of this since 1950

Africa from 1/3 European GDP to 1/13 Of the decline in extreme poverty 1980 –2000 (1.5bn

to 1.1bn <$1per day: none in Africa, all in China)

Page 29: Ben Venter Chairman: BANKSETA Council  & Conference Session Chair

Participative Growth

Unaimed opulence (the market alone)– Brazil, Oman, South Africa all have much higher gdp

than China or Sri Lanka but do much worse on deprivation measures

Aimed non opulence– Health and education cheap in developing countries

– China’s improvement in life expectency all came before 1979 (no improvement since then)

Page 30: Ben Venter Chairman: BANKSETA Council  & Conference Session Chair

What do you aim at?

Kerala (India) Life expectancy 70, Indian average 56/58– Kerala has very high levels of literacy and especially

female literacy Sri Lanka:

– Lower infant mortality than the US

– Higher adult literacy than the US Health and education only occurred in Europe as a

result of state intervention and only a century ago

Page 31: Ben Venter Chairman: BANKSETA Council  & Conference Session Chair

Stylised facts are:

Resource rich, labour poor- capital intensive growth path- relative high cost labour

Small domestic markets & lumpy investments needed- public sector ownership thus normal

Rents - these are available in natural resources (imperfect global markets)- these are politicized (often ‘pleasantly’)

ownedtaxed

The Heart of Darkness

Page 32: Ben Venter Chairman: BANKSETA Council  & Conference Session Chair

Resource prices downturn- PSBR rises (tax take falls)- tax burden intensifies- concentration of ownership in return- twin deficits, no FDI

Economic nationalism- new nation building- expensive

Colonial legacy

Introduction

The purpose of the exercise was to strengthen data driven HR strategies and business alignment in the banking sector

Quantitative and qualitative data and benchmarking

Data issues:

Certain data were not sufficiently robust to use

General concerns regarding the data

Aggregate data skewed the results and limited analysis

Agreed that a good first round baseline is now in place

Focus Groups:

Encouraged dialogue on people measurement

Focused attention on internal benchmarking & measurement systems, and

Addressed the application of benchmarking results

The sector’s revenue and profit return on remuneration was comparatively high

The retail cost-to-income ratio was average, while the wholesale ratios were good on average

Average remuneration was comparatively low

Investment in training was comparatively good, though below average in relation to the management and professionals cohort

Incentive pay levels were on a par with peers

There was a strong focus on internal recruitment. One in four employees in the sector were affected, compared with an external recruitment rate of 12%

Page 47: Ben Venter Chairman: BANKSETA Council  & Conference Session Chair

ResolveGroup

Main Findings

Resignation rates were low, but for management and professionals they were still double the European rate

Around one in every five employees resigning were in their first year of service, while one in every 2½ had a tenure of between 0 and 3 years

Absenteeism was very low

Time-to-fill and acceptance rate data were not available from SA sector

One in four African and Indian employees resigning had a tenure of less than one year and 1 in 2 had a tenure of between 0 and three years

Training for African employees in 2003 was marginally below that of other groups in the sector

The average remuneration of African and Coloured employees was 50% and of Indian employees 68%, of the average White cohort wage. The Female cohort wage rate was 56% of the Male wage.

Main Conclusions

The results are largely related to retail banking

Grow revenue per capita and focus on higher margin activities

Increasing revenue is needed to sustain good revenue and profit return on remuneration

Continue good cost management, but reduce unit costs by raising the efficiencies of of IT platforms and core processes

There is still room for improving the resignation rate of the management and professional cohort

The tenure of resignations, especially amongst Black employees needs attention

The focus on internal recruitment should continue

Time to fill and acceptance rate data needs to be collected

ResolveGroup

Main Conclusions

Training investment, outputs and efficiencies compare well with peers in Europe and the US, though there is a need to increase training for African employees in the sector

Race and gender remuneration disparities will need to be addressed through progression and external recruitment strategies into higher occupational brackets

The flow of employees in and out the sector, by levels / occupational categories, needs to monitored for equity and FSC purposes

The sector’s HR functions require regular review to be sure they have the capacity and skill-sets to respond to ever increasing and new demands

Interestingly, the SA sector appears to outsource more of its HR service than its European peers

Lessons

Adequate time is needed for data collection and verification

Focus Groups to verify and engage data essential

Setting the baseline was difficult compared with future exercises, which will also compare and contrast external and internal longitudinal benchmark data

Future rounds must disaggregate – retail and wholesale and micro-lending sectors

Important missing data must be added next round

Workplace skills plan data, equity data and Saratoga data must be aligned to respond to the employment equity, skills development and human resources elements of the Financial Services Charter
