Three things are sitting with Rick Mavrovich after this week’s signals, and they are all connected: Deutsche Bank’s 15-to-2 core consolidation and what it reveals about execution risk, the CSBS AI examination framework and the governance gap it just made visible, and the widening distance between AI tooling investment and genuine operating model transformation.
This is not a news roundup. This is Rick thinking out loud about what these signals mean for banking executives making real decisions right now.
What I’m Watching is the forward-looking companion to the Don’t Blink weekly brief from Core System Partners. Each week Rick Mavrovich, a banking transformation executive with more than 30 years of operational experience, identifies the two or three signals that deserve deeper attention and explains what he thinks they actually mean.
