Excellence
° What is it?
° Why focus on it?
Organizational Excellence (OE) can be defined as the unending efforts
made by all stakeholders in an organization to institute a fit-for-purpose
framework of policies, standards and procedures which would engage
and motivate employees to deliver best in class products and services
that fulfill customers’ desires within business expectations in the
attainment of set objectives.
• OE provides an excellent foundation with scalable processes for
building a sustainable high performance driven organization.
• It provides an integrated and coordinated way for firms to drive
tangible and lasting results.
• It enables easy identification of interdependencies and
interrelationships within an organization which helps with well
coordinated business and operational activities, and reducing non-
value add activities.
• It provides a platform for long term comparative advantage and
continuous increase in shareholders value.
• It encourages innovation and out-of-the-box problem solving which in
turn delivers higher return on investments.

1. Balanced Scorecard – A balanced scorecard is a strategic management performance metric used to identify
and improve various internal business functions and their resulting external outcomes. Balanced scorecards
are used to measure and provide feedback to organizations.
2. TQM – Total Quality Management (TQM) is the continual process of detecting and reducing or eliminating
errors in manufacturing, streamlining supply chain management, improving the customer experience, and
ensuring that employees are up to speed with training. Total quality management aims to hold all parties
involved in the production process accountable for the overall quality of the final product or service.
3. Performance Prism – The Performance Prism is a management framework that reflects the complexities of
organisations and the multiplicity and reciprocity of stakeholder relationships; it focuses on the reciprocal
relationship between the organisation and its stakeholders, as opposed to just stakeholder needs.
4. Tableau De Bord – A Management tool that constitutes an information tool for monitoring process based
organizational activities using well defined performance indicators.

that may affect the entity, and manage risk to be
within its risk appetite, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the achievement of entity
goals.”

30. OE Case Study – The Bank Of Nigeria
The Bank Nigeria Ltd (TBN) relies on its various business activities for growth and profitability. This is achieved by focus
on the following:
• Increased Revenue and cost management,
• Customer retention and acquisitions,
• Process improvement and optimisation, and
• Human capital development.
These are the four broad pillars it focusses on to achieve its organisational performance. The key challenge for the bank is
improving and sustaining organisational performance. In the last 3 years from 2018 – 2021, this has not been achieved
owing to strong competitor manoeuvres, gaps in key operations of the bank and negative macroeconomic factors in
Nigeria. Furthermore, TBN has been impacted with skyrocketing cost-to-income ratios mainly caused by operating
expenses that have contributed to the resultant stunted growth for the bank and huge financial losses sometimes.
Other major factors include operational issues that are under the bank’s control, but the bank seemed not to have
measurement metrics for operational excellence to deliver on the organisational performance it aims to achieve. Financial
operational losses and compliance sanctions have been on the rise whilst overall productivity on the decline.
Obviously, there are gaps in the bank’s growth strategy.
You are reviewing the operations of this bank. What would you recommend to entrench organisational excellence at TBN.
