The Enterprise Anatomy Was Never Built. SVB looked like a modern bank — but it lacked a structural core. No integrated view from strategy to action. No stress-tested coordination across the 15 functions. No enterprise simulation of real-world failure
In 2008, the banking industry collapsed under its own weight. By 2025, it’s more complex, more digitized, and more regulated. And yet—still fragile.
Why? Because banks didn’t rebuild from anatomy. They rebuilt around compliance layers, not enterprise integration.
In 2008, We Didn’t Know. In 2025, We Do.
The difference between 2008 and 2025 isn’t awareness. It’s alignment. We have the models.
We have the AI. We have the data.
But unless they’re linked structurally—as a living enterprise anatomy—none of it matters.
We’re still managing a 2025 world with 2008 architecture.
