For too many credit unions, the strategic planning process is a familiar ritual with little return. It begins with a well-intentioned offsite meeting and ends with a thick binder that sits on a shelf, disconnected from market realities and daily decision-making.
This leads to critical failures:
Decisions are made without a clear strategic filter.
There is no objective way to measure progress or define success.
Board and leadership lack a shared, up-to-date view of the business model.
Employees can't see how their work contributes to the organization's goals, breaking the line of sight from the boardroom to the front line.
A plan that isn't used is worse than no plan at all. It creates the illusion of direction while allowing for strategic drift.
We don’t just facilitate a meeting; we guide you through a proven, structured process to build a strategy that is both ambitious and actionable. Our hands-on consulting work is the foundation for your success.
Our process begins by creating a single-page blueprint of how your credit union operates, creates value, and sustains itself. This powerful framework ensures your entire leadership team and board are aligned on the realities of your business today.
We don't try to predict the future; we prepare you for multiple futures. We facilitate a rigorous process to identify critical uncertainties and build scenarios to stress-test your business model, resulting in a more adaptive and resilient strategic posture.
We work with you to translate your high-level strategy into clear, measurable Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). This creates an unbroken, transparent chain of accountability that connects the board’s vision directly to the daily work of your team.
The framework we build together doesn’t get filed away. It becomes a dynamic, interactive tool within the CU 360 Strategy Module. Your Business Model Canvas, Scenario Plans, and OKRs are embedded into a dynamic Scorecard, providing real-time visibility and ensuring your strategy remains an active part of your management routine.
