BSG was brought in as both an advisor and a trusted execution partner, to translate the bank’s business strategy into operational outcomes through defined business and operating models. This included structuring, managing and delivering the programme; completing all process architecture and transformation work to enable the selection and implementation of an appropriate core banking platform.

We were able to utilise our expertise to design products uniquely positioned to disrupt the retail banking market, through the development of innovative and customer-centric products and services.

To address the full end-to-end requirements of the project, BSG did partner with another advisory consultancy firm.

Due to subsequent changes in legislation, this project ended after the conceptual design and detailed analysis phases were completed. Despite this, BSG was able to provide the required governance guidelines on a complex legislative-driven project.

This ensured frameworks were put in place to quickly identify risks before they became issues.

This project was a strong validation that a truly South African professional consultancy can compete effectively with large global players, as evidenced by BSG successfully being chosen via a rigorous tender process.
