Some organizations may feel that acquiring AI capabilities is a race, and if a company starts late, it can never catch up.


  • That notion is belied by Scotiabank (officially the Bank of Nova Scotia), which has pursued a results-oriented approach to artificial intelligence over the past two years. While some of its resources are devoted to exploring how new technologies — including blockchain and quantum computing — might drive fresh business models and products, the great majority of its data and AI work is focused on improving operations today rather than incubating for the future.

  • Scotiabank — one of the Big Five banks based in Canada — has caught up to competitors in some crucial areas. It has done so by more closely integrating its data and analytics work; taking a pragmatic approach to AI; and focusing on reusable data sets, which help with both speed and return on investment.

  • First Step: A New Organizational Structure
    • While some of Scotiabank’s competitors made early moves to build or acquire AI capabilities, Scotiabank, by its own admission, got a slow start in comparison. It was involved in a large-scale digital transformation and had some false starts along the way. By mid-2019, Brian Porter, the bank’s CEO, felt it was important to get analytics right.
  • A Highly Pragmatic Approach to AI
    • Back in 2019, Porter and Thomas decided that the primary focus of the bank’s analytics and AI activity should be customers — hence the “customer insights, data, and analytics” label. Thomas, Lee, and their colleagues felt that improving processes and making better decisions within the bank was the best way to catch up to and surpass competitors.
  • ‘RAD-ical’ Changes in Data Provision
    • The data management function at Scotiabank, headed by Peter Serenita as chief data officer, also made changes. The goal was to more rapidly provide data for analytics and AI use cases — and without the data, the models wouldn’t be possible. Before the 2019 CID&A restructuring, the bank’s data strategy had been primarily focused on defense — a “protect the bank” approach that emphasized regulatory compliance, financial reporting, and risk management.
