Building Proficiencies & Launching Journeys
Data has been called one of the most important investments an organization can make by Forbes, McKinsey & Gartner.
​
Yet, 92% of credit unions fail to effectively leverage their available data. According to McKinsey, the top five reasons why data efforts fail are;
1. Lack of clear data strategy,
2. Inability to translate data strategy into tangible use cases,
3. Do not have clear roadmaps,
4. Do not have foundational data governance
5. Have not leveraged their talent to translate data into valuable action.
The Data Activation Series will change this.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
CFO
The Data Transformation Class Series was transformational for me! I have wanted to develop a formal data program at my credit union for a long time but wasn’t quite sure how to do it. Anne taught us why we should do it, how to get started and what a good program looks like. Through practical exercises, we put in place the necessary building blocks culminating in a data transformation roadmap. I walked away confident I could now effectively leverage the data at my credit union to fulfill our mission to serve our members. I appreciated Anne’s enthusiasm and knowledge. It was a great experience!
VP of Innovation
Thank you again for providing such great information in a way that’s easy to understand and execute. I think data becomes overwhelming, especially because so many of us credit union employees are already the “hat people” wearing multiple hats and have a full plate of responsibility already. Finding time to dig into the data sets that we already have just doesn’t seem manageable for many of us. Your classes and the design/structure of your book makes the pieces manageable and easy to follow so I really appreciate that.
VP of Operations
Thank you for this very reassuring and eye-opening course. It’s reassuring that we are on the right path, however eye-opening that we have a way to travel.
