Background

Africa’s banking sector, especially that in Morocco, is undergoing a transformation, driven by strong multichannel-sales needs, the digitalization of customer relations, and the agility of ISs.

Challenges

Three major challenges were identified:

  • Transforming the bank into a deeply-multichannel, leading-edge player, capable of selling its financial and non-financial products across all channels;
  • Enabling personalized customer pricing;
  • Modernizing the IS, and modes of operation, by digitalizing processes end-to-end.

Responses and key success factors

Defining business processes to the point of framing an IS roadmap. To do this, Wavestone worked with the bank’s senior management, assembling a team of more than 150 employees from across the business functions to:

  • Help the bank’s management adapt to the digital challenges faced by the sector;
  • Redesign key sales processes using collective-intelligence workshops;
  • Define an IS architecture tailored to multi-channel, data analysis, process digitalization, and flexible pricing;
  • Enable the transformation to be implemented rapidly, and at operational level, by the provision of a detailed roadmap.
