| Summary |
This case centers on Grameen America (GA), a $17mm nonprofit organization focused on providing low-income women entrepreneurs with microloans to fuel their small businesses. GA was originally founded in 2008, as a separate but affiliated organization of Grameen Bank. When Andrea Jung was hired as the first woman CEO of GA, she stopped opening any new GA branches until the organization could move to a more cashless based loan repayment system. An unanticipated result of this new loan platform was a flattening of GA's organizational hierarchy. Post the new loan system's roll-out, front-line loan officers, in addition to the headquarters' staff, had greater access to loan data. This case focuses on the nationwide roll-out of this new loan platform, known as Mambu. GA moved from a server-based loan platform, to a cloud-based (and cashless) mobile banking platform in order to improve efficiency and prepare for future expansion |
