summary
Explains concrete steps a 127‑year‑old bank uses to become a software‑led organization: building a graph database from Jira GitHub Azure webhooks to auto‑enforce rules (eg. raise exceptions when a merge has no linked ticket or when a pull request lacks one or two approvers), launching the youth product kit — shipped in 10 months with card integration, hiring five‑plus distinguished engineers, applying subtractive leadership and pushing decisions to the lowest competent level.
