Improving the Bank’s Value Proposition

2007 Annual Report PT Bank Mandiri Tbk. 21 attention to preparing the Bank for the second phase of our transformation process in which we intend to Outperform the Market. We believe that our strong foundation will support us in the Outperform the Market phase, allowing us to realize stronger business and revenue growth in line with acceptable risks, in order to deliver exceptional value to our shareholders. We have addressed several strategic areas of concern in order to lay the groundwork for these foundations:

1. Strengthening the organization and developing a performance-based culture

In order to strengthen the organization and introduce a performance-based culture as a platform for strong future growth, we have been focusing on efforts to strengthen our implementation of the SBU-based organization instilling a new corporate culture and enhancing the capability of our human resources. Our implementation of the SBU-based organization commenced in early 2007, and was not simply a change of organization structure, but also a structural change to the organization’s “DNA”, resulting in more productive and adaptable organization that has more clearly delineated accountability. This is to ensure that each SBU will be empowered to address their specific business challenges and targets. The new SBU-based organization goes hand in hand with improved Key Performance Indicators KPI, intensive Performance Reviews, performance-based incentive systems and periodic training to develop human resources capabilities specific to the needs of each SBU. We believe that the SBU-based organization is an important element for Bank Mandiri in developing a performance- based culture and strengthening the Bank to compete in the long term. To reinforce our organizational transformation, we have also implemented a new corporate culture, identifying our core values as Trust, Integrity, Professionalism, Customer Focus and Excellence TIPCE. These values form an “ideology” for Bank Mandiri’s personnel in guiding appropriate behavior and attitudes toward their working environment. This corporate culture has been implemented through several avenues, of which one of the most crucial has been our Change Agents, who currently number 5,492 employees. The role of Change Agent is very important in maintaining the day to day implementation of corporate culture in our activities and guiding personnel at all levels about the importance of our values. Our continuous efforts to strengthen the implementation of Good Corporate Governance are consistent with our strategic imperative to apply GCG in every unit. This will further necessitate diligent improvement in our operations with regard to transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence and fairness in order to implemented GCG as intended. Our initiatives in GCG implementation have received favorable responses and recognition from independent observers and GCG Rating Agencies both domestic and foreign. Bank Mandiri ranked 1st in the Corporate Governance Perception Index 2007, and was rated as the “Most Trusted” publicly-listed company based on the Indonesian Institute for Corporate Governance IICG Survey 2006. These achievements followed Bank Mandiri’s international recognition for Good Corporate Governance from Asiamoney Magazine, which cited Bank Mandiri as the “Overall Best Managed Company In Indonesia - Large Capitalization”, “ The Best Disclosure Transparency” and “ The Best Corporate Governance”. These have marked a tremendous turn-around in perception since the difficult period in 2005.

2. Improving the Bank’s Value Proposition

We realize that Bank Mandiri’s success in growing our business in the coming years will depend on our nurturing two inter- related aspects. The first is to improve the capabilities of each Strategic Business Unit in expanding its business. The second is to foster the capability of the SBU’s to collaborate internally in strategic alliances in order to access and optimize the full range of business opportunities inherent in our customer base, while providing excellent services. Our efforts to reinforce the capabilities of our Strategic Business Units have recently focused on better identifying and managing our target markets, building the requisite infrastructure, developing products and services, and improving human resources.

In addition to these efforts to strengthen the capabilities and enhance the business platforms in each SBU, we have also developed various strategic alliances among SBUs to create synergies leveraging the strength of each Strategic Business Unit in order to secure deeper market penetration in all segments. Our primary strategic alliance to date is the Client Service Team CST program in Corporate Banking, which aims to encourage complementary business development between Corporate Banking and our other business units. In 2007, the CST program showed significant progress, with Payroll loans growing by 31.7, while other Consumer Finance products derived from the strategic alliance with Corporate Banking jumped from Rp319 billion in 2006 to Rp611 billion in 2007, for growth of 91.5.
