Key improvement opportunities ▪ Scoreboards do not reflect the
right indicators and are not
frequently updated
▪ Performance huddles lack
individual tracking and
problem-solving elements
▪ Apart from sales, metrics are
not tracked systematically;
particularly, no commercial
activities metrics
▪ Skills gaps required to be
closed with coaching on the
back of gap analysis to allow
multi skilling and flexible
resourcing
▪ Resource planning is conducted
ad hoc and not systematically
tracked
▪ Require to align spans of
control for SSOs, observed
inconsistency of 1:4 and 1:7 in
DIC and Muraqabat,
respectively
▪ Sales time of SSOs can be
increased from 8% to over 25%
– Move sales administrative
tasks to tellers
– Simplify key processes
around account opening and
mortgages release
– Reduce rejection rates
▪ Opportunity to increase Teller
capacity through move to
alternative channels and process
improvements
▪ Teller and SSO staffing not
coordinated with customer
footfall
▪ Main issues for branch staff are:
– Communication of key
changes not sufficient
– Lack of empowerment
– Insufficient training for daily
tasks
▪ Staff expect:
– greater flexibility,
– higher employee recognition
– and innovative processes
▪ Surveys with customers highlight a generally very
positive attitude towards branch performance
▪ However, a number of areas were identified to
guide the future design, for example:
– Following through on promises made
– Addressing requests in a reasonable time
– Being knowledgeable about the products &
services

Recent customer feedback has been very positive; still, we have identified 7 key improvement areas

Flexibility within tools used to deliver sales and service improvements
within branches – ensure degree of customization for Branch Manager
while not losing uniformed approach
First week of new waves used as ‘mini-diagnostic’ to validate findings from
extensive pilot analysis
Key staff in completed branches used during training phase for future
branch roll-out
Regular ‘Problem Solving’ sessions held within Lean Team and Branches to
encourage continuous improvement
Team Recognition
CEO visits to relevant branches, regular newsletter detailing achievements,
and recognition in CEO annual video conference across MENA

Finally
In light of competitive nature in the Financial Services Market in UAE, it is essential that an organization can maximize it’s existing assets.
By re-energising, re-investing, and retraining staff in conjunction with process efficiencies, and better use of support services…we can significantly increase sales potential without significant headcount expansion.
