Driving Digital Change in Banking
- Region: Europe
- Industry: Banking / Corporate Innovation
Challenge
A leading bank in the DACH region was under pressure to digitize core processes and align business units with a rapidly evolving customer landscape. As part of a wider digital transformation initiative, the corporate venture arm was tasked with scoping new tech solutions and operational frameworks.
But internal bandwidth was stretched. While the organization had a clear vision, they lacked a transformation lead who could bridge strategy and execution—someone who not only understood banking but also how to manage complex change across silos.
They needed an external expert who could embed quickly, align stakeholders, and keep the transformation moving without disrupting day-to-day operations.
Deliverables
Fintalent placed a digital transformation consultant with 20+ years of experience in banking and financial services. With a track record of leading enterprise-wide change initiatives, the consultant acted as an embedded transformation lead—working across teams to drive alignment and results.
He helped clarify the digital strategy, created structured implementation roadmaps, and introduced governance models that helped reduce friction between units. His ability to simplify complexity and gain buy-in from diverse stakeholders was critical in unblocking internal resistance and accelerating execution.
Rather than bringing yet another “framework,” he brought momentum—and a practical, inside-out view of transformation in highly regulated industries.
Result
The venture unit was able to move faster, test smarter, and bring concrete solutions to market—without overburdening internal teams. The consultant’s guidance allowed them to de-risk key initiatives and deliver early wins that reinforced internal confidence in the broader transformation agenda.
Strategic Takeaway: Digital transformation in banking isn’t just a tech problem—it’s an execution challenge. When speed and clarity are at a premium, bringing in someone who’s done it before can mean the difference between spinning wheels and real change.
