Session Descriptions

Session 1: Prioritizing Innovation & Collaboration 

It is easy to become siloed in one’s view of innovation as you look to prioritize based on your own operations. Looking outside of your industry can create line of sight to best practices in innovation and collaboration and during this session, our guest speaker will share their own journey to allow participants to open their minds to possibilities from outside the industry that could pave the way for meaningful change within the credit union landscape.  

From this session, participants will collaborate during lunch and determine what take-aways from outside their industry could be explored further within their credit union or in partnership between credit unions. 

Session 2: Using Data to Drive Decisioning and Manage Risk 

This session will introduce approaches to developing and growing a Data program and discuss how FI’s are leveraging data to design the right products for their members and drive growth and innovation. The session will also look at ways data can be leveraged to a manage risks  that credit unions face on a day-to-day basis as they execute on their strategy. 

Session 3: Data Governance and Privacy Considerations 

For many organizations, the desire to become more data driven while maintaining customer trust has created as many problems as it’s solved.

Session 4: CUPID (Credit Union Peer Information Dashboard) Experience Lab: Benchmarking key metrics and trends that are vital to managing your credit union

Credit Unions do not have access to timely and useful peer and market data. Executives or Boards often ask management or teams to manually accumulate and to track this information, which is burdensome, time consuming, and can lead to inaccurate or out-of-date comparisons.  These challenges make it difficult to use peer data in a meaningful way to benchmark your performance so that you can tailor operational decisions or recognize strategic opportunities. During this session, we will unveil MNP’s CUPID peer benchmarking dashboard and preliminary metrics.  

Collaboration and discussion

During the last 30 minutes of the above sessions, participants will weigh in on priority metrics and benchmark companies outside the CU system that would create maximum value to their leadership teams, allowing further insight to the dashboard and future deployment within their own organization.
