Sliding Line

  • A fast-growing FinTech in the payments sector, backed by leading financial institutions, was undergoing a major structural change. The business was splitting its operations across three separate entities, each requiring coordinated governance, reporting, and cross-entity alignment.

    At the same time, the UK entity was progressing towards Controlled Mobilisation with the Bank of England, a critical milestone that would unlock client onboarding and determine whether key deadlines could be met. Without clear processes, defined reporting structures, and consistent documentation, the risk of delays, miscommunication, and missed milestones was significant.

    Exevion was brought in to strengthen programme delivery, reduce risk exposure, and provide the governance infrastructure the organisation needed to operate effectively across its new structure.

  • We started with a structured review of existing documentation and stakeholder interviews across the group to identify where the gaps were and what was creating friction.

    From there, we:

    • Designed a comprehensive RAID framework to document and manage risks and issues across all three entities

    • Built reporting templates for key governance forums including Steer Co, Ex-Co, Board, and Shareholder reporting

    • Developed a consolidated view of the technical roadmap across entities to provide clear oversight of milestones and dependencies

    • Supported individual workstreams in establishing baseline documents and managing data collection

    • Facilitated regular governance reviews to keep stakeholders aligned and decisions moving

  • We embedded directly within the organisation to ensure the processes and tools we built were practical and adopted, not just designed and handed over.

    • Delivered a clear governance and reporting framework that gave leadership visibility across all three entities for the first time

    • Reduced programme risk through proactive RAID management and regular structured reviews

    • Supported the UK entity in meeting its Controlled Mobilisation milestones with the Bank of England on time

    • Provided a documented, repeatable set of processes that the internal team could own and run going forward

  • When an organisation is splitting into multiple entities while simultaneously hitting a major regulatory milestone, the margin for confusion is slim. The stakes were high and the timeline was fixed.

    Exevion's approach was to get under the skin of how the business actually worked before designing anything. By understanding the structure, the workflows, and the stakeholders involved, we built governance processes that worked in practice, not just on paper.

    Clients working with Exevion on complex programme environments benefit from a team that takes accountability for outcomes, not just outputs.
