The second thing is a growth mindset and a pivot towards growth. But one of the things we're doing in this strategy is we really want to make being purpose led integral to everything we're doing.Īnd you're going to see that our purpose around Helping Britain Prosper is started to be woven in, in a very detailed way to all of the strategies and the commercial outcomes we're committing to. The first is we've always been a fantastic organisation in terms of having a strong purpose and being the leading financial services group in the UK. So there's a few key priorities we are laying out today. So tell us a little bit more now as we go into our new strategy, what are the areas that you think you would like the Group to take in terms of our new focus and new opportunities? I'm excited that we're going to get to a position when we can start to share all of our priorities with all of our colleagues for Lloyds Banking Group going forwards. But I have to say the primary thing I've got is I'm just excited. How does it feel now that you're finally here launching it and revealing the new strategy?Ĭharlie: Well, as you say, it's been a busy few months, few weeks since I've joined. Carla: It's just over six months since you joined us as CEO but longer than that since you knew you were coming to the Group.
