MIS Management at First National Bank

1. What are the strengths of FNB?

proposals will be ranked. Also, the process flow of their Proposal Life Cycle is very well
designed to filter out the projects that will be approved and rejected.

2. What are the major weaknesses of the company?

experience with Corporate Banking Division which he saw that improvements can be made
on the current corporate marketing effort of the bank. He proposed to have a corporate
database which was eventually approved. Upon the implementation of the project,
departments involved don’t want to cooperate since it was not their project and it was John
Hart’s. Also, they are not open to change and thought that the project would only give them

Also, manpower assigned to the project was insufficient to the point that Jim Gunn, the
project manager, took most of the workload to himself. Most of the weaknesses of the
