Integrated Report 2020

Bank’s Transformation Program

In 2020 the Bank began its transformation to Agile methodology, delegating investment responsibility to 60 initiative owners since the beginning of the year. This delegation of responsibility to a lower level supported quick adaptation of the Bank to the COVID-19 crisis. The teams reviewed their priorities in order to be able to respond to new needs both within the organization (remote working) and with respect to customers, in particular in relation to credit moratoria, the government's anti-crisis shield, opening online accounts for individuals using video verification technology (supported by Aflavox and Autenti solutions) and the development of E-Commerce solutions (KYC - "Know Your Customer" - in Open Banking).

The implementation of the electronic signature has been accelerated, with the target to cover all bank-client relationships, paperless operations for car lessees, and an offer to use the electronic signature prepared for small and medium-sized companies – all using technology provided by Autenti.

The bank also established a cooperation with Booksy, providing customers with an application for booking online appointments in branches, and accelerated all projects aimed at digitalizing processes.

In 2021, the Bank will continue transformation towards Agile. Classic project management has been completely replaced by a product-based structure with delegated budget and resources.

The coherence of the overdue management and the transformation plan will be coordinated by 5 steering committees:

  • Added value delivered to individual customers through multiple channels („omni channel”)
  • Added value delivered to legal entities through multiple channels („omni channel”)
  • End-to-end operating model, technologies and digital work
  • Data, Open Banking and the Green Revolution
  • Control and risk management

In 2021 and 2022, the Bank’s transformation will move towards full adoption of agile methodologies (Agile @Scale) for product delivery. Our objective is to further improve the time of product introduction on the market, employee engagement and customer satisfaction.
