DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c10354) has announced the addition of Bank Branch Transformation in the 21st Century to their offering.

Bank Branch Transformation in the 21st Century can help you shape your strategy by providing in-depth reviews of the current state of the branch in 2004. It contains over 70,000 words and 20+ in-depth case studies that reveal how different types of organisations are using the branch and what the best in the marketplace are doing with self-service.

You will be able to identify what progress and success has been made in 4 key areas of branch strategy:

--Sales and Service Strategies

--The Retail Format

--Self-Service and Automation

--Measuring the Effectiveness of Investment (including a 6 point action plan)

The report also looks at the various business models in which the branch has a role to play.

This report will leave you perfectly placed to take advantage of the new and exciting opportunities that a well-developed branch network could offer in the coming years.

The report is aimed at senior executives responsible for branch strategy including:

--CEO's

--Heads of Retail Banking

--Heads of Channel Strategy

--Heads of Distribution

--Heads of Corporate Planning

--Industry Consultants

--Key Suppliers

Retail bankers across the World are again taking a positive view of the role of the branch within the delivery mix.

Today the branch is recognised in all markets across the world as the lead delivery channel.

As a result the time has come to decide in what areas your development money will be best spent. All of your plans will have to be reviewed and updated to ensure they achieve the best possible returns.

For example the search for the 'branch of the future' has been replaced by a belief that success may be more dependent on well-honed sales and service strategies.
