#GreatWorkIsNotAMyth

ACE – Accelerating Cost Efficiencies - is a key department in KBC supporting top management with strategic vision, challenging the status quo and providing an outside in view, focusing on efficiency and process improvements.

After the enormous success of the OPEFF (STP) program Group Exco tasked us to take the next step. In OPEFF, we drastically increased how STP (straight true processing, i.e. fully automated) our commercial processes work in the entire group, impacting 1/3 of all KBC employees. In the new OpeffNXT program, Group Exco asked us to look at the other 2/3, in all entities of the entire group.

ACE will manage the overarching program, but will also support senior management in finding optimization potential. We have a great track record on this, having delivered significant optimizations over the past few years, including with the H25-program. In OpeffNXT, this will be achieved by screening end-to-end processes and deep dives, but also by internal and external benchmarking, research and creating a strategic vision. The crucial question we need to answer to help the senior management: “why should we do this change and which value will it deliver”.

Group Exco is serious about this. It was an important topic on the recent top 40 summit. If you want to be part of this strategic program as well, leading the change, don’t hesitate to contact us.
