Now that we're approaching May, credit union leaders’ attention is turning to the upcoming strategic planning season. Starting the groundwork early can make all the difference in creating a well-informed, future-focused plan.

 

Effective strategic planning involves a deep understanding of the current market landscape, emerging trends, and potential challenges. It requires a thorough analysis of consumer behavior, technological advancements, and regulatory changes that may impact the financial services industry. Gathering and processing this information takes time and effort, which is why starting the prep work well in advance is essential.

 

One valuable resource for credit union leaders during this preparation phase is Environmental Scan (E-Scan). This comprehensive report, available for pre-order now and for download beginning June 3, offers a macro view of the top 10 consumer and business trends affecting credit unions.

 

Compiled by industry experts, E-Scan provides the knowledge needed to make timely, future-focused decisions that keep credit unions agile and ready to meet member needs in a volatile market.

 

The E-Scan report is available in three formats – PDF, video, and PowerPoint – allowing credit union leaders to choose the version that best suits their strategic planning needs. Whether you prefer a detailed written report, an engaging visual presentation, or a combination of both, E-Scan has you covered.

 

Beginning strategic planning prep work early and leveraging resources like E-Scan can help CEOs and board members ensure they have the insights needed to guide their organizations towards a successful future.
