Alpha:
Pushing
Boundaries
to Succeed
INTRODUCTION
At the 2013 Strategy Session held last year,
the Bank launched a 3-year transformation
program that will help the Bank to reclaim its
industry leadership position by 2015.

hinged on the adoption of an “aggressive
posture” in driving the execution of key initiatives

initiatives including other complimentary initiatives that
will drive rapid and sustainable growth across key perform-
ance parameters.
