Hold the single transformation roadmap for the bank, ordering initiatives according to value, risk and interdependencies.
Offer an impartial, bank-wide perspective that helps leadership decide which investments go ahead and when.
Work hand in hand with the Technology Architecture function so the future technology landscape supports the future shape of the business.
Set clear context and boundaries for Business Analysis teams, and check that live programmes stay on course with the roadmap.
