Description: Given the rapid change of pace, fierce competition, and members wanting more for less instantly, it is increasingly important for credit unions to seek out clear financial answers to key strategic questions in order to keep the credit union relevant and sustainable in the long term.
The financial implications of each of these forces can be material and may have various outcomes. Learning to think through alternative paths and see a range of potential outcomes can open up thinking and discussion that can better position the credit union for the future. This repeatable process can help prioritize objectives and drive the credit union forward.
