What kind of splash will you make with your data this year?
Leveraging data as a strategic asset requires enhancing existing data skills and building new ones. So go all in this year, dive right in, and activate your data in 90 days or less! Becoming a data-driven organization is more than just clean data (although it is a huge part); it is also activating the data to drive insight and action.
Here are three ways to step into the data pool this year to help you and your credit union do more than stare at the water or circle the pool deck.
#1 Take the plunge!

#3 Dip your toes
We believe that data activation doesn't have to feel overwhelming or expensive to be impactful. We have identified several consistent knowledge gaps in our work with over 600 credit union leaders.
Here is how you can fill these gaps with a variety of educational artifacts:
Articles - These regularly published articles provide quick and easy-to-digest topics on the key elements of data transformation and how it improves members' lives.
Book - Big Data/Big Climb has been called a "must-read book for credit union management" by industry experts as a guide for those looking to improve their members' lives using data. This foundational primer on data activation uses the metaphor of climbing Mt Kilimanjaro to provide clarity and a framework on this subject. Recently added to America's Credit Union Museum's Research Library!
