Are your bank’s core gears working with each other—or against each other?

In today’s banking environment, momentum is everything. Whether you’re running day-to-day operations, delivering change programs, or investing in innovation, the key to scalable progress lies in how well those efforts align and reinforce each other. That’s the premise of the Strategic Flywheel—and the purpose of this diagnostic tool.

Built for Transformation Leaders

Developed from our book The Strategic Flywheel, this scorecard helps banking executives evaluate how well their organization performs across the three critical gears:

Run the Bank
Change the Bank
Innovate the Bank

But we don’t stop there. The scorecard also measures how well these gears work together to build transformation momentum.
