DIGITALIZATION OF BANKING SERVICES

Sugandh

April 5, 2017

Banking industry is the most important industry for the health of any economy and hence is the most regulated. Without a sound and healthy banking system, an economy cannot function smoothly. In the past one decade, the definition of banking sector has been completely transformed. Banks have moved from being just a place of deposits and withdrawals to way more. This can be attributed towards the growth in technology and it soon being adopted by the banking industry to stay abreast with the changing environment. Thus because of changing times, changed demands of customers and the aim to provide better services with reduced costs, the banking sector has tremendously transformed itself in all means keeping the main aim of fulfilling customer requirements with achieving least operational cost.

Like any other business institution, the banking industry also works with the aim of achieving its targets and has a set of well-defined objectives, the main being customer satisfaction and cost reduction. In the way to fulfillment of these comes a no.of challenges. Some of these are mentioned as under:

Cost per transaction

: In today’s money driven world, where millions of transactions tale place every day, there is a need to identify the cost center and there by estimate the cost of each unit of work.

Customer Focus

: To provide exactly what a customer wants by optimizing the product and services portfolio and hence smoothening the customer experience.

Single customer view

: Focusing on one and every customer through better CRM processes and fulfilling their requirements.

New products and services

: With the changing times, the demands of customers have also been transformed which calls for a different type of products to be provided other than the traditional services by the contemporary banking system. The increasing competition has led to many innovations and the crisis of 2008 has also caused changes in the sentiments of people towards the financial institutions. Thus one of the main objectives of the banking sector now is to come up with better products and services, both in terms of requirement fulfillment and personalization from the perspective of customers, including profit-making and customer satisfaction from the perspective of banking institution.

Digitalization of Services

: With the advent of technology in every sector, the banking sector also couldn’t remain untouched by the same. The systems of banks have taken a toll and now the focus is on digitizing the services and increases the reach of the banking services to even the remote places. With the same view in mind, mobile banking, internet banking etc… are the new definition of banking services. More and more customers are subscribing to mobile and internet banking services and availing the easy access benefits and various associated incentives.

Segments of customers

: With digitization done for self-access ease of customers done, banks also need to focus on that segment of customers which are “branch lovers”. Hence it becomes important that this segment of customers must also gain from digitization. This can be made possible only with the digitization of services at the bank branches as well. A research by the EFMA and McKinsey divides customers into four categories based on the manner they access their banking services.

Self- Directed
ATM/Card users
Branch lovers
Multi-channel

Making customer-friendly processes

: When on one hand, the cost reduction is one of the key aims behind digitization, along with this comes a need to make the processes both online and in branches customer-friendly to have the full benefit of digitization.

Big Data issues

: With the increased no.of transactions and operations spread across the geographical boundaries, a lot of data is generated which needs to be managed well for achieving efficiency and smooth operations.

Customer Services

: The main aim of digital marketing is to simplify the customer service processes and that can be achieved only with understanding the scope of digitalization and how it can be matched with needs of customer. Talking about improving services for customers, banks like AXIS, ICICI & HDFC are all set to launch contact-less cards (debit/credit cards) which will allow customers to transact without the need to swipe the cards

In spite of these challenges banks are growing at a fast rate along with their effort to digitize their services. Digitization has been focused only in the front-end services till now. The next step has to be digitizing the back-end services as well. Because of this mismatch, customer experience is often than not disturbed by the poorly managed back-end processes.

In this scenario, cross-functional processes become very important as those are the ones that can cause a good customer experience or a one that can lead to losing customer confidence all together. The main challenge that stands in the face of retail banks today is to link the unconnected, isolated processes such that a smooth customer experience can be delivered.

If one wants to find the root cause of stress it can be very much attributed to a habit that many of us have that is being thinking about something too much. So basically “making a mountain out of mole”. All though it is often been said that stress is necessary for getting work done, the statement can be rephrased into a much better sentence saying “worry but the required amount”.

Generally stress is self-diagnosed but the signs are different in different people even to so much extent that some people go on binge eating also known as stress eating while others may starve themselves because they just can’t eat in the tension. In addition to the dietary changes that one experiences during times of stress, there are some physical changes as well. These include, dark circles and hair loss.

Include a healthy diet in your meals. This will increase your metabolism and will give your body the energy that goes into unnecessary stress.

- What are the possible solutions?

So make a plan after answering these questions. Worrying about something without a proper plan will not land you anywhere. So start systematically.

Try to be around people who are cheerful. Good company can do wonders
Try to be happy and do what you love
Seek help if required. Talk to the ones who are close to you.

Dietary Habits For Summers

Sugandh

April 4, 2017

So the scorching summers are here and if weather predictions are to be believed then these summers are going to be the hottest till now. The temperature that we are witnessing recently is the perfect example for this. Hence one needs to take a good number of precautions to have a healthy season. Diet surely plays a very important role in this. Taking a fatty diet can cause tiredness at a great level and lead to exhaustion becoming an obstruction in our routine work.

First and foremost thing that we need to do is to drink lots of fluids. Now these not necessarily be only water because many people find it tasteless and hence don’t like to drink plain water. You can go for other fluids like energy drinks, natural fruit juices and so many other options. While taking energy drinks you need to be a little careful as these might have caffeine and over-consumption of caffeine too is very bad for health. The bottom line is drink lots of fluids to flush out toxins from your body.

Eat a balanced diet and reduce the amount of oil and fatty products you consume. These not only will cause problems like obesity, cholesterol but also slows down the metabolism of the body and hence reduces your pace. The time you eat and how you sit while eating also plays a very important role. Try to eat at same time each day and at regular intervals as well. For the people who are dieting, consume more of fruits and liquids. It is advisable to you not to go out at wee hours of sun as your energy levels are already low.

If you are taking any medicines, make sure to ask your doctor about its side effects and how can you reduce them. Many medicines cause acidity which can be countered by consuming more water.

You must also try to increase the amount of protein content in your diet. Protein converts the fat in muscles and hence you will be doing double the exercise without any increased efforts. Non-vegetarians can get it by consuming meat but this also must be taken in small proportions. For vegetarians, you might want to consume products like soy and tofu for you protein needs in addition to pulses.

A good way to increase your activities is to exercise and physical activities on a regular basis or at least as often as you schedule allows you for. This will keep you healthy and active which is a key requirement for summers.

Increase the amount of vegetables and fruits in your daily foods. These increase your energy and take care of your digestive system as well. Fruits have a lot of water content and help you to be hydrated. Also no matter if you are on a diet or not you must consume a fruit each day. Because you will be well hydrated, you will see a lot of good glow and changes in your skin too.

12 Angry Men- A Classic That You Need To See!

Sugandh

April 3, 2017

This movie is considered to be one of the timeless classics of all time, produced and played by Henry Fonda in 1957. It revolves around a murder apparently committed by a teenager. During 1950s and 1960s in US almost all decisions taken by the jurors had to be unanimous. So, the decision could incriminate or exonerate the convict. A life was at stake, so that means a lot.

In this particular movie the whole idea is to master the art of consensus building through rational and logical arguments and convince someone who starts the discussion with a complete polar opposite position and ultimately changes tack.

At the start of the movie only one Juror played by Henry Fonda was against the idea of convicting the victim to death. While the rest of his colleagues considered the case to be slam dunk he decided to reason with them and started to find out important points which were found to be overlooked by the authority as most of them were biased and hell bent on proving that convict has committed the crime.

He faced a lot of hostilities at start as expected. But slowly with patience he started to build rapport with the fellow members and ultimately managed to completely overturn the decision.

Each and every juror has some important personality traits. For example, if we talk about Jury 1, his character can be said to have traits of Composed, methodical, disciplined and organised. His role came out clearly in the instance when he gets influenced by others’ opinions initially but later on assesses the facts.

Whenever we talk about group formation, one of the basics is that group formation generally happens in five stages: “Five Stage Model”. We observed the formation of groups layer by layer through the movie.

Forming Stage: When jury interact with each other for the first time. They tend to be helpful, polite and friendly to each other. What is known “Testing the water” stage.

Storming Stage: Here the jury members are deciding the roles and group goals. “Sitting according to jury no.” There we saw a lot of conflicts which was pretty much expected.

Norming stage: When the decision took place that the decision would be taken on 12-0 vote and the group agreed. Voting took place and they brainstormed. “No rules as such”, “respect old man”

Performing stage: They continued to brainstorm for a fair verdict which was their goal.

Adjourning stage: Jury members dispersed after achieving the goal. That was to reach a verdict.

Apart from the personal characteristics one of the factors that played a major role is external factors. For instance – weather and ball game.

Weather was very hot that day and at the start of the discussion we see that some of the jurors are complaining that the room was not air conditioned. And some of them were more than willing to get out of that room. And that kind of hampered their ability to think rationally. Though the life of a person was at stake but somehow they overlooked it. And there was a discernible change in their attitude towards threadbare analysis when it started to rain and fan started to work.

One of the jurors bought tickets for the ball game and he was insisting every now and then to reach a verdict as soon as possible so that he could reach the venue sooner. He had an incentive. He prioritized his ball game over the life of a person.

How NOT to persuade someone

Sugandh

April 3, 2017

Any work today needs human intervention at some level and hence it is very important to understand that how one can affect others decisions and what are the mistakes that are supposed to be avoided. Understanding how to not persuade someone hence becomes all the more important. Here are some tips that you can follow:

Trying to make your case upfront:

It is a known fact that slowly taking your points forward and gradually putting your case in front of others is what the most effective way to persuade is. By just making your case at the first go, distributing responsibilities to the colleagues will make them feel more burdened and the effective work will not be obtained.

Through a process of persistence, logic and exuberance the desired results from persuasion can be achieved.

Resisting compromise:

To compromise is not to loosen your grip of control or to let go of the benefits. If we want to persuade someone, it is important to realize that others viewpoints must also be considered. People like who like them and of course who think like them. So it is essential to make your audience feel that they are important and that you are flexible enough to accommodate what they want and thus want to reach a shared decision.

Presenting Arguments:

Making an argument is important for any conversation and in the case of persuading someone, most important. But the argument made, the facts presented must be of significance and in connection with the context. Also though arguments matter, what matters more is how the facts are presented. Because in the end the aim is to convince/ persuade the other person. This is what all the efforts boil down to.

Persuasion is a continuous process and not short term activity

It is important to realize that persuasion is not a one shot process. Not a come and go thing but a long term and ongoing process till a consensus is reached upon, a shared solution. Making the pie bigger and involving everyone in the decision is what often people fail to realize or avoid as it is generally considered as a slow and difficult process

So the key points that can be derived from the above points can be jotted down as below:

Trying to make your case upfront i.e. trying to push your ideas.
Resisting compromise. Not being flexible, not considering others.
Presenting arguments.
Assuming persuasion to be one-shot effort and not an on-going one.

So here you go! Persuading is important because then only can a team agree on a certain thing and an action plan can be put in place. Building personal relations also help and is a necessary ingredient in any conversation. Be attentive to what others as saying and make sure not have any perceived notions and make decisions based upon hard facts and proofs only.
