The Challenge

  • The Building Society had recently upgraded their core banking platform and were ready to implement innovative solutions to drive forward their modernisation journey.
  • Across lending and savings, a significant amount of manual effort was required to overcome the functionality gaps in existing tooling and channels, preventing growth.
  • The Society needed a clear understanding and prioritisation of their pain points and opportunities in order to inform the direction of their transformation, maximising the returns on their investments.

How Woodhurst Helped

  • Customer Journey and Process Mapping: Engaged with stakeholders across numerous teams to clearly map out the current and target state customer journeys for mortgage application through to offer and onboarding as a savings customer.
  • Identification of key pain-points: Documented over 150 pain points across lending and savings, identifying solutions to remediate them.
  • Target Vision: Ran a series of workshops with key stakeholders to define a high-level vision for the society and a detailed view on what needs to be true to achieve it.
  • Opportunities, Quick Wins, and Requirements: Translated all the identified pain points into prioritised opportunities for improvement, including quick wins, and a set of requirements for achieving the target state.

The Outcome

  • Woodhurst pinpointed key applications in the existing architecture that require modernisation to enable a better colleague and customer experience.
  • Woodhurst outlined clear opportunities and recommendations with a view on how to proceed, identifying and prioritising both larger technology implementations and smaller process improvements.
  • Woodhurst helped promote the need for modernisation around different teams and ensured leadership buy-in and alignment across the organisation.
