CIBC: Customer Profitability System (C‪)‬

With a new customer profitability system now developed at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), the next challenges involved the rollout to the branches and the associated implementation problems. To prepare for a meeting with her staff, a regional sales manager discussed the new customer profitability system, named "Managing Local Markets," with a sales leader from one of the pilot branches. Her feedback on the system was generally very positive; however, the people using the system in the branch didn't understand how the profitability was calculated; this jeopardized the credibility of the system. This is the third case of a three-case series. The (A) and (B) cases are products #9B00B014 and 9B00B015.
