Challenge
The situation
Multiple banking products required clearer strategic direction in a competitive market. Stronger differentiation and sharper positioning were needed — not just optimizing within existing structures, but identifying opportunities to create new value spaces.
Approach
What we did
Digital Rebel led product strategy creation across multiple banking services, covering both retail and business customer segments. We combined current-state analysis, competitive benchmarking, stakeholder interviews, and structured scenario exploration to build a comprehensive strategic view. We applied Blue Ocean Strategy principles to challenge existing assumptions, identify differentiation opportunities beyond traditional banking features, and clarify where genuinely new customer value could be created. The deliverables included product visions, strategic positioning, prioritized focus areas, and roadmaps — enabling the organization to shift conversations from feature-level improvements to strategic differentiation.
Results
Where it landed
The group's main web channel, covering both the open and the logged-in side, received a product vision, strategic positioning, prioritized focus areas, and a roadmap. In the business mobile concept, Blue Ocean thinking was used to challenge assumptions and look for differentiation beyond traditional banking features. The work shifted internal conversations from feature-level improvements to strategic direction that product owners could defend in prioritization.
