Basic question to be resolved
How can ABC Bank close the N1 billion profitability gap in 2 years and create a sustainable economic
platform for the future?
• Consolidation
• Deregulation leading to many new non-traditional
players e.g. microfinance banks
• Banking crisis
• Emergence of internet and electronic-banking
• CEO of ABC Bank
• ABC Board of Directors
• Shareholders
• CBN
Close the N1billion gap within 2 years • Focus on retail banking only
• Focus on Nigeria only
Keep operating the bank as an independent
company
Key sources of insights
Pass studies on banking, CBN website, Financial

To break a problem into component
parts so that
• Problem-solving work can be
divided into intellectually
manageable pieces
• Priorities can be allocated to
individuals
To maintain the integrity of the
problem-solving approach
• Solving the parts will really solve
the problem
• The parts are mutually exclusive
and collectively exhaustive
(i.e., no overlaps, no gaps)
To build a common understanding
within the team of the problem-
solving framework
To help focus the use of organizing
frameworks and theories

Hypothesis-Driven – How?
Starts with a potential
solution and develop a
rationale to validate or
disprove it
Data-Driven – “Why?”
Starts with the problem and
decompose it to arrive at a

• Conducting Analyses (Internal and external)
• Power of Excel
• Market analysis
• Financial Analysis and Accounting
35. Excel is a powerful tool for conducting analyses…….
Knowing what you want
to do
Finding out how to do it
Implement what you
want to do
• What do I want to
accomplish with my
analysis?
• What type of calculations
do I need to include in my
analysis?
• How do I need to modify
the data so that I can use
it?
• Excel probably has some
functionality that helps you
do what you need to
• Use formulas and
functions that you are
familiar with
• Seek information on how
to do things:
– Use Excel‟s formula
builder
– Use Excel‟s help
function (F1 key)
– Use the internet to
search for help
– Ask a friend for tips
• Allow yourself to try and
fail! It does not have to be
right the first time
• If you are having trouble,
seek help
• Make sure analysis is
done correctly
36. Pivot tables are one of Excel‟s most useful features
A PivotTable is an important feature of MS Excel. It is an interactive table that quickly
summarizes large amounts of data, based on multiple conditions that have intersecting
points
You can use PivotTables to:
• Calculate different summaries (e.g. list the total number of customers per division)
• Analyze related totals (e.g., calculate the total spent per account)
• Sum a long list of figures and compare details (e.g., number of suppliers with sales
largers larger than NGN 1 million)
Creating pivot tables
• To create a pivot table, highlight the data you want to include, and click on the pivot table
icon on the Insert menu
Pivot tables can also be created
with the following keybaoard
shortcuts
• Alt + D + P
• Alt + N + V + T
• Try it, it WILL make you faster!
37. ….. Also the use of basic formulas
Basic formulas in Excel have these two main syntax forms:
A1 + B2= SUM ( A1 : B2 )=
Equal sign Cell
references
Operator Equal sign Formula
name
Parenthesis Cell
references or
range
Examples of basic formlulas include:
• AVERAGE – returns the average of a cell range
• SUM – returns the sum of a range of cells
• MEDIAN – returns the median number in a cell range
• MAX – returns the highest number in a cell range
• MIN – returns the lowest number in a cell range
• And many more – use Excel‟s help function to learn more about them
38. More advanced formulas often have more elements
IF ( A1 > 1 ; “Yes” ; B2 )=
Equal sign Formula
name
Parenthesis Formula

Excel 2007 helps you understand the syntax of your formulas as you
write them!
39. Other examples of advanced formulas
Function/
Functionality
What does it do? How do we use it? Additional Comments
COUNTIF
Counts the number of cells
within a range that meet the
given criteria
COUNTIF(cell range you are looking in,criteria -
value; cell reference - you are looking for)
To count entries using mathematical
operators, use "<32" in the <criteria>
parameter field, to count the number of
values in the range <32
Wildcard Usage: COUNTIF(C2:C40,"*te")
will tell you how many words end with "te"
SUMIF
Adds the cells within a range
specified by a given criteria
SUMIF(cell range you are looking in,criteria -
value; cell reference - you are looking
for,Sum_range; the actual cells to add if their
corresponding cells in range match criteria)
To sum entries using mathematical
operators, criteria can be expressed as 32,
"32", ">32", or "apples"
VLOOKUP
Searches for a value in the first
column of a table array and
returns a value in the same
row from another column in the
table array
VLOOKUP(cell reference of the value to be
looked up,table array range where the first
column contains the value being looked
up,position of the column data needs to be
retrieved from,type of match)
Type of Match:
0, False : Gives an exact match
1, True : Gives an approximate or exact
match (be sure to sort your data in
ascenfding order before trying this)
HLOOKUP
Searches for a value in the first
row of a table array and returns
a value in the same column
from another row in the table
array
VLOOKUP(cell reference of the value to be
looked up,table array range where the first row
contains the value being looked up,position of
the row data needs to be retrieved from,type of
match)
Type of Match:
0, False : Gives an exact match
1, True : Gives an approximate or exact
match (be sure to sort your data in
ascenfding order before trying this)
40. Market analysis: Helps you understand how a market works, which
impacts the behavior and performance of market participants
S C P
Structure Conduct Performance
The structure of the
market . . .
. . . drives the way
companies behave and
compete with each other in
response to events
Their strategy determines
their economic
performance
Feedback
By understanding the structure of the
market, we can understand why companies
behave the way they do and why some firms
are successful, while others fail
41. Porter‟s Five Forces model provides a simple framework through
which we can understand the structure and interaction in the market
Barriers to entry
Can new companies easily
enter the market and
increase competition?
Substitute products
Can consumers push down
prices by buying other
products to do the same job?
Bargaining power of input

42. Finance and Accounting: The basic principle of finance is called
the time value of money
Fundamental valuation is about applying the concept of time
value of money to expected cash flows in the future
“Money you have today is worth
more than money tomorrow”
Time value of
money
Why is this the case?
43. Information about a company‟s financial position is found in the
financial statements – the balance sheet, income and cashflow
statements
• Shows whether the company‟s operation has resulted in a
profit or loss as of a defined time period
• Can be thought of like a motion picture since it reports how
a company has performed during the period(s) presented
• Portrays the financial position of the company by showing
what the company owns and what it owes at a reporting date
• Can be thought of as a snapshot since it reports the
company‟s financial position at a specific point in time.
▪ Reports on company‟s cash generation during the period(s)
separating it by operating, investing and financing activities

cost of capital
Growth
Value The money I make
The money I invested to make money

to invest

value; to have value ROIC must be higher than your cost of capital

The money I invested to make money
ROIC =
After tax earnings from operations*
The amount of operating capital
invested in the company (I.C.)
ROIC =
