WELLS FARGO OFS

THE OFS IS A NEW BUSINESS IN A POTENTIALLY HIGH GROWTH MARKET.

WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR BSC BY ANALYZING ITS ENVIRONMENT


(internal and external)

1. INDUSTRY DYNAMICS

HIGH COMPETITION DUE TO DEREGULATION


Consolidation
in the industry due to merger
Many new entrants in the field with money market funds
THE INFORMATION REVOLUTION AND E-BANKING ARE A REALITY

DEREGULATION ALSO CREATED OPPORTUNITIES FOR BANKS


MANY FORMIDABLE COMPETITORS LOOKING AT AND MOVING FAST INTO THE
ON-LINE ARENA
WELLS FARGO OFS

2. THE STRATEGY

 PLANNED/ EXPECTED CUSTOMER BASE OF 1 MIL. BY 2000


TARGETING A PARTICULAR MIX OF CUSTOMERS
Higher Income, Loyal
Intense users of banking products
Also contribute to lower costs of service

THE SECTOR ALSO HAS THE FOLLOWING FEATURES


Futurehas more than the present
Opportunities for new products and broadening of services offered on line
OFS could potentially become a portal with all sorts of alliances

 SUCCESS DEPENDENT ON
Attractingnew customers to reach target
Retaining the customers
Simultaneous reduction in costs and spending
Importantly, making it easy for customers to migrate and stay
Continuous process and product innovation

3. THE INTERNAL CULTURE

WELLS FARGO HAD A TRADITION OF COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE THROUGH


COST REDUCTION
Strict
cost and profitability measures for performance evaluation. Appropriate for a
new market with a great future?

FEWSENIOR EXECUTIVES OUTSIDE THE OFS WERE FAMILIAR WITH


COMPUTERS OR THE TECHNOLOGICAL MARVELS
NEED TO BUILD UP THE ENTHUSIASM AND MOMENTUM TO CAPITALIZE ON
THE FIRST MOVER ADVANTAGE
WELLS FARGO OFS

A MULTI PRONGED STRATEGY IS CALLED FOR,

MULTIPLE MEASURES WILL SHOW A BETTER PICTURE OF THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE

THE BSC THEREFORE SHOULD FOCUS ON THE LEADING INDICATORS AND NOT LAG MEASURES

Customer addition and retention (Customer Growth)


Growth per customer (Number of products)
Operating cost reductions
Internal Processes such as reliability of access, service, and service quality
Staffing Needs, Competencies, and an emphasis on entrepreneurship (the parent is a bureaucracy)

THE THREE THEMES: Add and retain customers, increase revenue/customer, and reduce costs/customer.
