MOST TIME IS LOST BECAUSE PEOPLE DO NOT THINK THINGS THROUGH TO THE VERY END*. WE DO FOR THE ACCELERATION OF OUR CLIENTS' SUCCESS.

(* Alfred Herrhausen, former chairman of the management board of Deutsche Bank)

These days banks' senior executives face more challenges than ever in a rapidly changing environment: increasing globalisation and competition, growing interconnectedness of developed and emerging markets, commoditisation of many asset classes, highly volatile capital markets, mark-to-market balance sheet preparation, risk transfer innovations and an increasing demand for transparency and regulatory reporting. Almost every day of a bank’s senior executive is characterised by extensive travel, numerous meetings as well as time and decision making pressure. Time for reflexion, concept proofs, and idea generation is rare.

Under those circumstances highly skilled and reliable consultants can be of huge value for senior bank managers. Maravon provides calmness and power to the management of a bank. It is a Maravon-consultant's calling to question the status quo, to pinpoint problems, to think what and how things can be improved, to develop convincing and feasible concepts that last and to assist in their implementation. Maravon is committed to highest-quality consulting for substantial and lasting performance improvements that will save our clients' time and money.

In general Maravon is retained to

• update procedures to reflect regulatory changes,
• carry out restructuring and re-organisation, often parallel to the start of a new senior bank manager, and
• assist clients to continuously improve their financial management standards like software is periodically updated in IT.
