It involves analysing key trends, risks, competitive pressures, regulatory expectations, and organisational performance. The Board must then define the Credit Union’s purpose, vision, objectives, and priorities, and agree clear, measurable strategies over a defined planning horizon.
Strategic planning should be constructive, engaging and forward looking allowing the Board and management team to be energised and with clarity of direction.
RBK’s specialist team have facilitated and completed a number of independent strategic planning sessions.
We can assist you in this process with:
- Environmental and market analysis
- Business model assessment
- Financial performance analysis
- Consultation with stakeholders
- SWOT analysis
- Strategy formulation and prioritisation
- Financial projections and scenario modelling
- Stress testing
- Implementation planning
- Board and staff surveys
- Strategy workshops
While the duty to prepare the strategic plan rests firmly with the Board of Directors, RBK will act as an independent facilitator of the process. We provide structure, challenge assumptions constructively and deliver both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Our objective is to help your Board achieve the right balance between ambition and prudence while retaining ownership of the strategy and vision.
