Modernizing a Century-Old
Global Bank

CHALLENGE

A legacy European bank faced internal fragmentation following a decade of rapid acquisitions. Operational efficiency was hindered by "shadow cultures" that resisted standardized digital integration.

ETHNOGRAPHIC INSIGHT

Through deep observation in three regional headquarters, we discovered that resistance was not technological, but ritualistic. Staff relied on informal ledgers to maintain social capital and trust.

STRATEGIC RESULT

We redesigned the digital interface to mirror these informal trust networks. Operational latency dropped by 22% within the first two quarters.
