Section Two: Role of your branch in the overall management of the Bank value
As Strategic Business Link between the bank and its constituents define your branchs
role in the overall management of Banks Value:

To describe the role of your branch in the overall value management of the bank. Begin
by answering the following question:
What is the role of your branch in the overall profit function of the bank? For instance a
typical branch ideally operates as a strategic link for:
- Quality customer prospecting and retention
- Mobilizing quality deposits
- Selling quality credits
- Selling other financial services
- Building and sustaining bank image
It is not necessary that your branch can perform all activities in a profitable manner.
Therefore you should only focus on what your branch can do in a profitable manner.

Section Three: Corporate Directions and the Branch mission statement


3.1 The Corporate Directions

Corporate direction is a broad level commitment and strategies of the senior


management in terms of where they wish to take the bank in future. This statement of
intent should be considered by the branches, to gear their business planning in the
direction the bank wants to move. Branch planning in isolation is likely to jeopardize the
harmony of directions critical for the overall success of the organization
Exemplified Corporate Directions: The bank aims to accomplish the followings Increase profitability (RoE) through better
management of financial assets and liabilities; improved customer focus; increased
market share; operational efficiency; better internal controls; enhanced regulatory
compliance; lower cost of operations; and, professionalism...

3.2 Branch Mission Statement

A mission statement is a broad level description of what the branch intends to


accomplish and how will it accomplish it? It therefore consists of two segments, namely;
the goals [impact] that are to be accomplished, and the strategies [means] whereby the
goals will be accomplished.
Exemplified Mission Statement: Being an extension of the bank, we shall improve our market share and profitability
through differentiated financial services; building customer loyalties; focusing on
customer relationship management; improving employees work performance;
continuously increasing operating efficiencies; and, last but not the least minimizing the
risks

Section 4: Branch SWOT and Competition Analysis


4.1 SWOT Analysis

The focus of SWOT analysis is on unraveling the opportunities and challenges (threats)
in the permeable external environment; and, strengths and opportunities in of the
organization. The analysis is essentially made with reference to the Mission Statement.
Meaning, external factors are neither opportunities nor threats unless these are analyzed
in the context of accomplishing the mission statement and so are internal characteristics
of the organization.
Strength refers to an internal characteristic that enables the organization to realize its
goals in an effective and efficient manner, while weakness is the characteristic that is
likely to hinder effective and efficient accomplishment of goals. For instance, high
deposit base could be strength for the branch (bank) if there is sufficient demand for
loans from good borrowers. However, it can turn into weakness if the weighted average
cost of the deposits is higher than what the branch could earn on loans.
External factors, which are likely to increase business potentials for the branch, are
termed as opportunities. For instance; credit culture, saving habits, etc. However;
existence of too many branches in a close proximity, bank avert attitudes, etc. are likely
to posse significant challenges (threat) for the branch in realizing its goals.
Please identify Strengths; Weaknesses; Opportunities; and, Threats faced by your
branch

Weaknesses

Risks and their Mitigates


Risk refers to adverse impact on the branch business plan as a result of expected and
unexpected contingencies both in the internal and external scenarios. Such as, change in
the Govt. regulations may limit branchs lending opportunities, entry of new players in
the financial market may affect branchs ability to mobilize deposits at lower interest
rates. Similarly, exit of key persons from the branch may affect its working adversely, in
the short run. Happening of such contingencies may erode the branchs prospects if no
alternative arrangements (mitigates) were already planned (or made).
