Method
How a review actually runs
A clear sequence so operations, MIS, and regional managers know what happens between the scoping call and the readout.
-
Scope the decisions, not the dashboards
We start with the questions leadership will ask this quarter: which branches need attention, whether staffing follows footfall, and how deposit softness should be explained. Visual layouts come after the questions are sharp.
-
Write the metric dictionary
Every measure used in the scorecard gets an owner, a source system, a refresh cadence, and a plain-language definition. Ambiguous “productivity” labels are replaced with named calculations.
-
Form peer groups that survive scrutiny
We cut by footfall, premises type, and book mix before we lean on organisational regions. Regional reporting remains; peer scoring becomes fairer.
-
Sense-check on the floor
Where access allows, we visit a sample of branches. Queue rope design, shared printers, and renovation noise explain outliers that extracts alone mislabel.
-
Deliver the pack and stay for the argument
The readout includes time for contested numbers. We document agreed changes and schedule a 30-day follow-up so early actions are not lost in the next month-end rush.
