Background of the Study
Strategic repositioning involves redefining an organization’s strategic focus and market approach to adapt to changing environments. Keystone Bank has recently undertaken strategic repositioning initiatives to better align its investment banking operations with emerging market trends and global best practices (Adeniyi, 2023). These initiatives include revising product portfolios, expanding into new market segments, and adopting innovative risk management frameworks. The goal of strategic repositioning is to enhance competitive advantage, increase profitability, and mitigate risks in an increasingly volatile financial environment. By reevaluating its business model, Keystone Bank aims to address inefficiencies and capitalize on untapped market opportunities. This repositioning is driven by both internal factors, such as the need for operational improvement, and external factors, including technological advancements and regulatory shifts. The study examines the impact of these strategic changes on the bank’s performance by analyzing key performance indicators, market share evolution, and client feedback. It also considers the challenges encountered during the repositioning process and evaluates the sustainability of the new strategic direction.
Statement of the Problem
Despite significant strategic repositioning efforts, Keystone Bank faces challenges in fully realigning its investment banking operations with new market realities. A major problem is the resistance to change within legacy business units, which can slow down the implementation of new strategies (Olu, 2023). In addition, the complexity of integrating innovative practices with traditional systems may result in operational inefficiencies and diluted strategic focus. These issues can hinder the bank’s ability to achieve desired improvements in profitability and market competitiveness. The study seeks to identify the key obstacles in the strategic repositioning process and assess their impact on overall performance, with the aim of developing recommendations for smoother transition and sustainable growth.
Objectives of the Study
– To assess the impact of strategic repositioning on Keystone Bank’s performance.
– To identify barriers to effective repositioning and integration of new strategies.
– To recommend measures to improve the strategic realignment process.
