Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) is the leading UK-based financial services group with over 325 years of history and provide a wide range of banking and financial services, focused primarily on retail and commercial customers. I lead the technical discussion and ideation around how the implementation of AI and Data Science technologies would improve their existing products and services.

Background & Objectives

Background

Lloyds had seen the benefit of using AI early on and were keen to identify key organisational impact areas.

They had a large data lake of data of much value to the company. As the data was not utilised, they were keen to investigate and understand what it can be used for.

As an extension to this, investigation piece, they were keen on AI use case evaluation and pre-qualification

Objectives

Lloyds were keen on understanding company-wide AI opportunities across 3 core areas:

  • Monetary
  • Operational
  • User Experience

These opportunities would then resolve with the establishing of AI foundations across:

  • Data
  • Machine Learning
  • Infrastructure

Responsibilities

Outcomes

Use Case Pre-Qualification

We identified key impact areas across the business using data-driven decision making. Once these were established, prospective AI-driven solutions with tangible value-add were derived.

Added to those were risk assessments and an ROI model to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the identified impact areas.

Lastly we proposed a solution delivery plan alongside a furtherĀ  evaluation and fine-tuning process to test and extend the functionality of the implemented soution.
