Royal London Group – Group-Wide Operations Transformation

Mar 2025 – May 2026 · Life & Pensions · Regulated Insurance Environment · Customer Journey Analyst / Senior Business Analyst

The Challenge

  • No standardised process architecture across 32 Level 3 customer operations processes (142 Level 4 processes) across the Group
  • Fragmented, inconsistent SOP estate – circa 57+ documents across the Update Plan Details L3 process alone
  • No scalable process ownership model or continuous improvement pipeline
  • Regulatory pressure to demonstrate clear, auditable customer outcomes under Consumer Duty
  • Ambition to position for RPA, AI and digital transformation but no structured process baseline to build from

  • Designed target-state operating model: As-Is → To-Be across all 19 Level 4 processes including Add/Update Beneficiary, Change Plan Cover, Cancellations, Change of Policy Ownership and more
  • Rationalised ~57 SOPs, achieving 60–70% volume reduction with improved quality and consistency
  • Defined named process ownership, review cadences and a findings register – creating a continuous improvement pipeline
  • Produced release and readiness packs; maintained versioned change log with full audit trail
  • Identified RPA and AI automation opportunities; produced business cases for technology delivery handover
