Everyone else but Customer

Objective of Banks is to serve customers & for that matter objective of any enterprise. 

Look at the composition of PSU banks boards ;

• 1 Govt Nominee
• 2/3 Share holder Nominee
• 1 RBI Nominee
• 1 Workmen Nominee
• 1 Officer Employee Nominee

Where are the advocate of CUSTOMERS in the board? 

Mostly Bank's customer services are pathetic perhaps this is the reason. Competition is forcing banks to become customer centric  but unless customer service/experience is given core focus and customer champions are given board and CXO level position it wont be sustainable.   

We seriously need customer champions not only in the boards of banks but every company.

When customer experience creation capability is the sustainable competitive advantage business cant become customer centric unless voice of customer reaches the highest decision making forums. 

What Mr Raghuram Rajan Cant Do

RBI Governor cant manage inflation. It is a myth we all are living with. Even present Governor's sustained efforts are not yielding the results. This also proves solution lies somewhere else. 

Role of Mr. Raghuram Rajan is to convey to the Govt that bottlenecks in the economy is the real problem for inflation , resultant erosion of rupee value , lower GDP and Current Account Deficit (CAD). 

Hoping that RBI and its governor can do wonders with mere monetary policy is nothing but day dreaming and in-actin at all other levels. 

In any company , CFO can create value upto an extent but even CFO can't do anything unless there is a efficient production system  , product innovation at regular intervals, flawless logistics , sufficient profit margin which enables future investments without much of the unsustainable debt. If these aspects are managed by the CEO and the management , CFO can add some value by capital structuring , lower debt cost (this again depends on performance of the company not entirely in the hands of CFO ) , raising money from various sources , budgeting & allocation etc.   However CFO cant act as a driver.

We are expecting RBI to drive our economy ,  manage inflation , manage rupee value and control CAD !!! All these are interlinked and only way to break the same is quick decisions , transparency and progressive policies at all level of the Govt. We need action on war footing but we are hardly taking any action, forget right action. 

Indecisiveness and lack of imagination in Govt cant be substituted by ably qualified and young RBI Governor. 

We need new age economic theories to Deal with Double Dip or Multiple Dip Recession ?

Economies after Economies are stumbling. World is under dire economic crisis (Hidden and deferred somehow)

Every Governments world over are corrupt.

Most organisations { public and private } are employing corrupt or unethical means to achieve their ends. 

Therefore we can conclude that leaders at most levels & geographies are failing. 

We are struggling to manage all the above in the new economic order and its dynamism. 

Keynesian or Marxist  both theories r seems to be out of order and need total overhaul and rethinking. Our RBI Governor raising interest rates to tame inflammation is somehow not digestible. All policies and steps appears to be a guess work and trial and error methods.

Companies achieving financial results or cooking accounts to look sound by all means is not acceptable. (people, society and environmental  - casualty)

We are growing and hoping to grow but scholars and researchers need to put in more time and efforts to figure out how to not only survive but grow in the new age of digital population. 

Our lifestyle, means of production ,means & speed of communication, preferences, wealth creating business models, spread of social enterprises and its impact, socio economic condition, age of start up and retiring population & multi polar world - everything has undergone a SEA change. 

Inspite of MEGA change in the scenario around us we cant be guided or influenced by age old economic policies or  management principles.  We need total re-imagination and rethinking to solve problems of TODAY. 

Double dip or single dip or deepest recession  - we need creative and refreshing thinking LEADERS at all LEVELS. 
{ Country, institutions , enterprises and society }. 

Recheck and re imagine your area of influence and how to keep these influence not only growing but  INTACT also.

Don't go back to proven theory books , but { need to } create ONE.
