Viewpoint Bank engaged Endurance Advisory in late 2012. This was not a failing bank or a turnaround. It was a successful institution in the middle of a deliberate pivot toward commercial banking, and it had run into the gap that almost every transforming bank hits. The strategy had changed faster than the people, processes, and technology underneath it. The mandate was to benchmark the technology and operations estate against true commercial-bank peers, identify where the operating model still reflected the institution the bank used to be, and produce a prioritized plan to close the gap.
