The situation
The bank's CIO needed more than a target architecture. He needed a modernization path the bank could afford and absorb — sequenced across everything from infrastructure to ways of working — and a partner willing to be measured on the savings it promised.
What we did
- 01Delivered a three-year technology modernization roadmap for the CIO.
- 02Ran parallel workstreams across operating model and ways of working, infrastructure, software, portfolio prioritization, talent, and operations — applying proven best practices in each.
- 03Attached cost savings to the roadmap rather than treating them as a separate exercise, so modernization funded itself.
- 04Structured the work as an outcome-based engagement: savings tracked against commitments for the twelve months that followed.
The outcome
- Significant cost savings delivered across the workstreams — measured and tracked over twelve months, not estimated in a business case.
- A roadmap the organization actually executed, because its sequencing respected the bank's capacity for change.
