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.

About

The Data Activation Series is an integrated, educational program that offers educational artifacts, a 7-class data education course that helps credit unions develop data confidence and capability. 

7-Class Data Activation Series 

It is difficult to move forward when it feels like no one is speaking the same language. Understanding the core competency in data knowledge will only strengthen a credit union's success in launching a data effort.

The Data Activation Series meets the need of the busy credit union leader by integrating dynamic online classes, assignments that can be immediately used in the workplace, an online knowledge platform that hosts class details, assignments, and the ability for students to chat with each other and the instructor. Students receive 7 CPE credits upon completion.

  • Enterprise data vision 

  • Member-centered data use case

  • Understanding/defining data maturity 

  • Essentials of data governance

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Stock Market Data

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!

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.

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.
