KeyBank Profile – Internet

By Richard Barrett, Building a Vision-Guided, Values-Driven Organization, PART I: WHY VALUES ARE IMPORTANT

Organizational Behavior Analysis for Key Bank Over the past several weeks I have discussed the strengths, challenges and areas improving behavior and performance at KeyCorp. This discussion has come primarily from my personal observations and experiences at the bank. I also compare KeyBank to former employers – Bank of America, BMW Financial Services and Sky Bank. KeyBank is one of the nation’s largest banks with an A2 rating from Moody’s, A- rating from S&P, and A rating from Fitch. KeyBank empowers employees to be creative and to assist its clients with creativity and respect. The company commissions employees to be its clients trusted advisors and be admired by Key in the community. Key values are guided by principles of team work, respect, accountability, integrity, and leadership. KeyCorp is one of the national's 30 largest banks with banking and other financial services subsidiaries in the Northeast, the Northwest, including Alaska, and the Rocky Mountain states. It’s history dates back to 1825 when New York Governor Dewitt Clinton signed a bill chartering the Commercial Bank of Albany, and after a number of name changes became KeyCorp in 1973. Today’s KeyCorp is compiled of many banking and financial companies, and in 1994 the Cleveland and New York operations merged. Today, its corporate offices are in Cleveland. Today, KeyCorp is among the top 25 banks in country surviving the banking collapses of 2008. Key, like many other banks, faced vast financial challenges over the past year. It did not receive “bail-out” funds during the 2008 collapses, and has made changes to strengthen its financial situation. Today, KeyBank is

    In Paulo Friere’s article “The Banking Concept”, Paulo argues that the banking method is an efficient way of learning in the education system. The students are to sit down, stay quiet, received information, memorize it, and then remember it. Since this method requires them to simply memorize the information, the students don’t completely understand fully the information that they are taking in. The underlying message here about the banking concept is that the teachers feed students the information, acting as if they are completely informed about the whole subject, and then suggesting that the student knows nothing. There is no relationship established between the student and the teacher. The student…

It can be referred back to the infant stage or even that time in history class when you had no idea what imperialism was or what it is about.

    Have you ever gone into a class, sat down, staring at the teacher, bored out of your mind? If this rings true for you, then you are familiar with Paulo Freire's "banking concept". The banking concept is an educational technique where teachers deposit information into students' minds. I believe that this system does not work because the students never really have to understand what they are learning. Students just have to sit through a class, remember what the teacher tells them for the test, and never have to remember that information ever again. My high school AP environmental science class used the banking system and failed because it was memorization based,…

    Beginning in the mid-1990s, Jyske Bank embarked on a change process that led to its no longer being characterized as either unremarkable or undifferentiated. By 2003 its unique "flavor" of service made it a leader in customer satisfaction among Danish banks (see Exhibit 2). At the heart of these changes was the bank's determination to be, in the words of one executive, "the most customer-oriented bank in Denmark." The bank achieved its goal by focusing on what it called Jyske Forskelle, or Jyske Differences.…
