Change isn’t about the newest tool. It’s about people, timing and making every move count. Nick Dyment and Lauren Bergstrom talk about transformation inside some of Canada’s largest banks.
Lauren’s view: new technology won’t get you far without the basics. Transformation works when people are ready, with clear ownership, teams trained for new workflows and governance that scales with the innovation. As generative AI reshapes everything from operations to branch support, she breaks down the work behind the scenes: clean data, realistic cost models, involving the people the technology is meant to support, real testing and feedback loops that turn pilots into progress.
