HSBC have developed a detailed restructuring plan to address the low-return portfolios of Europe and the U.S. and to reshape Global Banking and Markets.

There are plans to create a combined Wealth and Personal Banking business

Global Banking & Markets and Commercial Banking will incur the most restructuring

They have begun an ambitious simplification and cost-reduction program, while increasing IT investment.

They have reorganized their management structure

This is a robust plan built around things they can control
- delayer and de-matrix the organization
- more agility and simplicity in the organization

The rundown program is likely to take three years to execute, with a dedicated team now set up to execute this.

They have established a dedicated transformation team to focus on executing the restructuring

There is a separate team focused on building future growth strategies.

Three to four year plan to create a single data warehouse and heavily use the cloud which should lead to a dramatic improvement in the productivity of the finance department. And we can see similar efficiency programs across much of the back office and middle office.

John Hinshaw is the new Group COO (Dec 2019) who's got a deep background in technology and has led similar restructurings at HPE where he was EVP and managed technology and operations.
