SUCCESS STORIES

Community Bank restructure for better and safer operations

  • A successful and growing bank for 35 years, experienced the 'perfect storm' in 2009 and found itself placed under an FDIC cease & desist order which required an assessment of Bank management, structure, and compensation practices for safe operations. While initially reluctant and resentful about this level of scrutiny, our D4 Process and professional consulting team was able to help Bank Executives and personnel become engaged and active participants in designing the future of their organization. The FDIC approved our recommendations without any adjustments but better yet, the executive team actually believed in the recommendations and felt confident they could execute them effectively. The acceptance of the organization design plan by the FDIC was simply a step in the process of putting the bank back on track.

“Through our work with PDG, we have improved our individual and collective effectiveness, and are better able to meet the needs of the homeless population we serve.”

Our approach to organizational excellence is simple, practical, and effective. It is based on four broad project phases: Discover, Design, Deploy, and Debrief.

Each phase informs the next to ensure the most effective solution is selected and implemented.



Discover

Analyze the organization and group's needs, level of current performance and readiness for change. The goal is to collect data to help the organization identify the best solution(s) that will meet the business needs.


Design

Develop clear goals and partner with the key stakeholders in the organization to ensure the stated goals are realistic. Develop a plan and the necessary tools that ensure we reach the desired outcome together.


Deploy

Facilitate and guide the organization in installing the solutions that meet the project goals. Support organizational focus and momentum toward expressed goals.


Debrief

Assess the level of achievement toward stated goals. Obtain feedback related to our work together post-project and any further needs of the organization.
