A European private bank, from AI pilots to shipped capability
A mid-size private bank had a dozen AI pilots running in parallel and nothing in production. Each business unit was buying its own tools, model spend was climbing, and the board wanted a single answer to one question: where does AI actually pay off here, and in what order.
We ran a value map across the operating model, ranked the use cases by return and feasibility, and killed the ones that were novelty. Then we stood up the delivery discipline behind the top three: clear owners, a shared model-governance layer, and a shipping cadence the teams could hold without us in the room.
A sequenced roadmap the board could fund, two use cases live within the first quarter, and a consolidated tooling contract that stopped the sprawl. The bank left with the capability to run the rest itself.
