In addition, Expand helps identify and analyze optimization opportunities.

Why do it?

The MOD provides insight into the effectiveness of different Operations operating models and strategies. In addition, the program indicates current trends to help assess the future state of the Investment Banking Operations function. This, in turn, allows firms to assess their current model, as well as keep up with future developments.

The analysis provides actionable cost-savings, by highlighting drivers and cost-levers to help improve efficiency, and can help inform the business case for industry utilities and the degree of functionalization.
