AI Readiness Audit
A regional Malaysian bank
The challenge
A retail bank with ambitions in personalised customer experience had stalled on three previous AI pilots. Each had reached technical proof-of-concept but none had reached customers.
Our approach
A six-week readiness audit across data engineering, infrastructure, model governance, and the operating model of the digital team. We worked alongside their CIO office and produced a board-ready remediation plan.
What changed
Three remediation workstreams sequenced over twelve months. The first — model risk management — closed within ninety days, unblocking the first customer-facing deployment by quarter end.
“The audit gave us the unflattering picture we needed. It would have saved us a year if we had run it before our first pilot.”
