Cultivating Agile ALCO Members:
Linking Strategy, ALM, and Business Model Optimization
Our December Cultivating Agile ALCO course will be a combination of virtual and in-person (limited) attendees. This synchronous learning environment has proven to be successful for engaging discussion and interactive learning for all attendees.
In this world of constant change and uncertainty, optimizing the balance sheet will continue to be a critical component of a successful credit union, yet it must be linked to the institutions’ strategy and desired business model.
Beyond the benefits of ALM education from a strategic view, this course helps ALCO members sharpen their abilities to conduct engaging ALCO meetings, relate strategy to the numbers, and seek and understand opportunities that impact the balance sheet.
This thought-provoking class will incorporate experiential learning, case studies, open discussion, and address questions ALCOs are asking. For example:
- What are key characteristics of a strategic ALCO?
- How can we transform ALCO mindsets from operational to strategic?
- Every decision has trade-offs, how do we make it so the trade-offs are better understood?
- How can we better link decision information from various business lines and delivery channels to have a more holistic view as we are making decisions?
- How might our measures of success need to evolve?
