What your vendor won’t tell you.

What your team needs to hear.

One issue a week.

The only newsletter designed for banking execs who actually have to deliver

If transformation feels like you’re stuck in meetings about meetings, you’re not imagining it. This week’s Core Insider takes aim at the infinite planning loop and gets into how banks are turning inertia into execution—and data overload into actionable clarity.
Inside, we’re also tackling:
  • Breaking the loop: How to escape endless planning and start delivering
  • Bottlenecks that kill innovation (and how to unblock them without a rip-and-replace)
  • Our Revamped Resources Hub/Page
  • KPI overload: Trimming the noise to focus on metrics that actually move revenue
  • Core modernization highlights from Bank of Sydney, Raiffeisen, FINCA, and more
  • Career openings if you’re ready to put transformation into action

Grab a coffee—this issue is all signal, no static.
