PART2

Digital Transformation Lessons Through the Eyes of a CEO

The rapid pace of technological change is disrupting the status quo and threatening to make many credit unions irrelevant in their marketplace. But how can community-oriented credit unions compete with the massive technology spending by the large national banks and respond to new fintech competitors? Every leadership team must have a concrete plan to improve its competitive position in an increasingly digital-first world. This is your opportunity to build a digital transformation roadmap with insights and strategies directly from a CEO with first-hand experience tackling these challenges.

Less Is More: The Necessity of Focus for Strategic Success

Whether it's over-committing to too many projects or attempting to serve every market segment known to humankind, credit unions often find it impossible to utter one of the most powerful words in the English language: No. Not only does this lack of focus frustrate your staff, but it puts your strategic success in jeopardy. Andrew will share insights on how your credit union can become more comfortable making strategic tradeoffs and examples of the powerful outcomes that come from discipline.

Metrics that Matter

Given the proliferation of data and analytical tools designed to pull insights, we are often drowning in data. For meaningful progress, need to focus on the metrics that matter - the metrics that align (and balance) priorities. Used smartly, data can help measure performance in meaningful ways. Focusing your metrics on mission-critical activities is step one.
