Implementation Of Strategic Plans Are Key To Growth & Financial Health
Strategic Planning Facilitation:
While some credit unions prefer to facilitate their own strategic planning, there are benefits to using an outside facilitator. An outside facilitator is able to view issues neutrally and with a fresh perspective.
Debra facilitates strategic planning sessions tailored to your credit union’s needs. Rather than delivering a soap box lecture, she has found it much more productive and fun to involve all participants. The time passes quickly but the results are awesome.
An effective strategic plan creates a vision of the future and provides the action steps necessary to evolve towards that vision. The plan provides a clear mission statement that helps focus management’s efforts. A good strategic plan reinforces core values and helps determine how day-to-day decisions are made, aligning short-term with long-term goals.
Business Plan:
Regardless of who facilitates your strategic planning, it’s important to incorporate your goals and strategies into a business plan. Regulators are relying more and more on a credit union’s business plan to ascertain management risk. Your future success relies on planning and monitoring results. Debra will develop a business plan that provides a road map towards your future, integrating current market conditions, with budgetary and strategic goals.
Mission: Why we are in business
Vision: How we see ourselves
Core Values: How we conduct business
Strategic planning seeks to answer three simple questions:
1.Where are we today?
2.Where do we want to be in the future?
3.How do we get there from here?
