Your institution is unique. Your strategic plan should be just as distinct. The environment for community financial institutions has changed drastically in the past five years due to shifts in interest rates, emerging technologies, evolving consumer preferences, market changes, and recent bank failures. These factors necessitate a fluid and adaptable strategic plan. Whether your institution lacks a cohesive strategy or wants to review existing plans, this session addresses critical questions about your institution’s vision, employee alignment with that vision, cultural and brand consistency, risk identification, and having the right people in the right roles.
This webinar provides the framework for you to be able to clarify your vision, mission, and core values, understand the importance of a well-defined strategic plan structure, and identify key components common to successful strategies. You will learn about the role of enterprise risk mitigation and management in your strategic plan, identify four key growth strategies, establish best practices with board governance, and manage the strategic planning and implementation process.
