Setting Service Standards for a Trade Services Organization

Thousands of pages have been written on what matters to trade clients but most is just a re-hash of well-known principles from industrial psychology.  There is little proof of what aspects of service make the most difference to client loyalty and spending.  In addition to interviewing benchmark competitors, our work reviewed existing research (including our own) to identify what changes client behaviour for better or worse.  In cooperation with our client, we then developed a framework for comprehensive service standards for the very few things that really matter to clients.  The standards are tested with clients for appropriateness and impact.  A strategy for implementation is the final element of the project.


Strategy for Working Capital Management

We worked with the senior management team of a major North American bank to create a strategy for integrating trade, cash management and FX into a coherent working capital management program. Acting as both advisor and facilitator, our work included identification of best practices, advising on client buying behaviour, competitive positioning, product integration, identification of appropriate strategies and oversight on strategy proposals. The scope of the work included domestic, Americas and international markets for both commercial and large corporate clients.

Strategy for a Financial Industry Association

Interviews with active members, lapsed members and non-members of a financial industry association helped to highlight its strengths and weaknesses, as well as gauging its expectations for the future.  We translated this into opportunities for growth and strategic changes to help the organization build loyalty and numbers in its membership.
