Cooperative banks – agile transformation

Making your cooperative bank more attractive, future-proof and adaptable through agile transformation

Actively shaping the cooperative banks’ future

Managing complexity

The sphere of activity of cooperative banks is becoming ever more dynamic and increasingly complex.

The big questions of the future speak for themselves:

How can we genuinely inspire customers and drive digitalization forward to stand our ground in the ever more dynamic competitive environment?
How can we retain our customers, especially in the younger age groups?
How can we be an attractive employer and create purpose as an organization in order to attract young talent and retain employees in the future?
How can we become significantly more adaptable in these complex and dynamic times?

This list can be continued indefinitely. Therefore, it is important to keep developing the core business in line with a clear structure and priorities, while at the same time establishing new approaches and ways of thinking to ensure that changes are identified in good time and the resulting future opportunities can be exploited.

What one person can’t do …

This requires a modern and future-oriented organization, collaboration and culture in which as many employees and executives as possible can proactively and independently manage change, participate autonomously within a given framework and develop overarching solutions (regardless of their assigned organizational unit).

“Agile transformation” is the key.

"Those who tackle the topics of organization and culture with courage and confidence will be amazed at how much can be changed in a short space of time.
There is no one path to the future – all you need is a good framework and passionate employees, and we will help you find your transformation path!”

Felix Nübel, Senior Manager

Our solution approaches

The transformation process begins at board level

Top management sets the standard, defines goals, communicates visions and is an ambassador for change. Changes are noticeable at all levels, from the board to individual employees. There are drivers of change across roles, e.g. “cultural guides” who promote the process.

Practical projects in future workshops use innovative methods to build transformative momentum. This transformation is marked by great relevance to everyday life and visible changes.

First understand, then change

It’s all about the people! Every organization has its own history, culture and lines of development. Our zeb.culture dynamo helps us not only understand the different cultures, but also the individual needs of the people within the organization. By using these insights, we support them on their transformation path and thereby help them change the organization as a whole.

Shaping the future together

A good idea alone is not enough to bring about a transformation – our holistic approach, which encompasses four areas, enables us to introduce methods, generate smart ideas for future business, work on people’s attitudes and develop the
culture of your bank!
