Full Credential Description
A major bank with a significant presence in SME lending and asset finance faced challenges in aligning its strategy with the rapidly evolving landscape of transition technologies. The bank struggled with understanding the diverse maturity levels of these technologies, the associated market demand, and the supply of financing. Internally, it grappled with the need to build the right asset knowledge and experience, clarify its product offerings, and ensure alignment between its front and middle office functions regarding risk assessment and pricing. To address these issues, the bank mobilized a cross-functional leadership team to conduct a comprehensive review of the market landscape and its internal processes. This initiative involved horizon scanning to identify core segments and transition assets, assessing competitive positioning, and understanding the policy landscape. The team focused on aligning internal views on risks and pricing, defining strategic priorities, and identifying points of failure within existing processes. As a result of this initiative, the bank equipped its management with the necessary knowledge, processes, and decision-making tools to accelerate the mobilization of SME transition finance. The ongoing strategy has facilitated alignment among stakeholders around immediate actions to boost market activity and has laid out a framework for medium- and long-term actions to expand the bank's offerings. This approach balances risk and return decisions while aligning with broader transition plans, ultimately enhancing the bank's capability to support SMEs in their transition journeys.
