RBC Personal & Commercial Banking - DeGroote Business Case Challenge

RBC is continuing to seek the balance between in-person banking and digital/virtual solutions to deliver banking services. There are over 1000 physical branch locations, dozens of RBC Insurance locations and seven hubs in Canada called Advice Centre’s where telephone inquiries are answered and addressed. We also have our RBC Online Internet Banking and a new digital service called “myAdvisor”. Our goal at RBC is to empower more of our clients to utilize these digital/virtual services for everyday banking which will allow us to deliver more strategic and in-depth consultation at our branches for more complex needs (mortgages, investing, financial advice). How might we encourage more Canadians to increase their utilization of our digital/virtual platforms for everyday banking services? How would this assist our branches in delivering more complex and consultative banking at our branches? Additionally, what impact will/could this have on our desire to remain a relationship based bank? Additional question: Since traffic is down in our physical branches due to increase use of technology and COVID regulations. How do advisors continue to keep in contact with existing clients and source new relationship to grow the business in these times?

RBC Marketing & Communications - DeGroote Business Case Challenge

RBC Canadian Open & RBCxMusic – Challenge statement Since 2019, we have strived to connect two platforms - RBC Golf & RBCxMusic. In an effort to broaden the audience of the Canadian Open, the RBCxMusic Concert Series was introduced to attract young, music fans to the game of golf. Unfortunately due to the pandemic the 2020 tournament and Concert Series were cancelled. Looking ahead into 2021, the RBC Canadian Open may look different and fan engagement may be virtual. At the only Canadian stop on the PGA TOUR, the RBC Canadian Open onsite fan experience and engagement is always a top priority. For this case, the challenge is to identify opportunities to integrate RBCxMusic, and Music fans, into the virtual RBC Canadian Open fan experience (as there will be no in-person experience) A successful case will include recommendations for how to achieve this through broadcast, digital and/or social platforms.

RBC Technology & Operations - DeGroote Business Case Challenge

Currently, many smaller and learner organizations are adopting APIs (Application Programming Interface) as an enabler to introduce new services and products and engaging with customers through preferred channels, including interactions through social media. With trends of servicing customers in their preferred channels and environments (Instagram, Facebook, etc.), it enables them to deliver services where customers are and to keep up with the increasing competition from firms inside and outside the industry. Banks should also provide innovative services at the same rate as these smaller and leaner organizations. How can RBC leverage API to drive new services at a lower cost?

RBC Capital Markets - DeGroote Business Case Challenge

Supporting our clients and providing thoughtful advice as they navigate uncertainty is a key part of investment banking and a core element of RBC Capital Markets’ approach to building relationships, especially in a volatile environment. One great example is how RBC helped Home Capital Group ("HCG"), a leading mortgage lender, navigate a liquidity crunch that attracted wide public attention, with peak media coverage starting in April 2017. Review the timeline leading up to HCG’s 2017 liquidity crunch and how HCG emerged from the crisis with the help of RBC. Specifically, what strategic options were available to HCG and which avenues did it pursue? Why did the company pursue the path it did and how was that path structured? How did the media, shareholders and other stakeholders react to the events and how did the company's share price trade throughout? How did RBC support the company and what other options could you have suggested to HCG if you were part of the RBC team working on this file?
