Q1. Go back to the period before Bancolombia’s decision to spin off Nequi. You were hired as independent consultants to evaluate four strategic options on the agenda of the Board of Directors (BoD) of Bancolombia. Which option would increase Bancolombia’s likelihood of surviving and thriving in the hypercompetitive financial services industry the most and why? Justify your recommendation to the BoD.
· Stay the course: Keep Nequi as an autonomous business unit with Bancolombia.
· Integrate: integrate the strategy execution foundations (i.e., operating models and enterprise IT architectures) and governance structures of Nequi and Bancolombia to create a unified firm.
· Spin-off: Carve out Nequi’s business processes, IT systems, and data from Bancolombia and spin off Nequi as an independently traded public firm that can pursue its own strategies with its own strategy execution foundation.
· Sell: Carve out Nequi from Bancolombia and sell it off to a non-financial retail technology platform (like Amazon.com, EBay.com, Etsy.com, etc.), which considers entering the industry by acquiring existing players.
