Most AI strategies in banking and financial services look right on paper. They have the right frameworks, the right vendors, the right slide decks. What they don’t have is a functioning data foundation, a business that owns its decisions, or a leadership team willing to say what isn’t working. This publication exists for the people in that room who already know this and are trying to change it.
