BUT WAIT… WHAT IS IT EXACTLY?

PIECES OF INFORMATION: - ITCHING TO BE LOOKED AT - MADE SENSE OF - (RE) ORGANIZED - CALCULATED

IT ENABLES OUTCOMES BUT IS NOT ITSELF AN OUTCOME

Power of Inquiry – Makes data come alive!

•  Data is nothing without questions.

•  Powerful questions set the context and drive urgency.

•  Start by asking what you want to know.

•  Then ask yourself what you’re going to do once you have the answers.

Linda Young

Be curious! •  Underlying drive to want

to better understand •  Questions are posed to

explore topics or ideas not shut them down

•  The more culturally curious your credit union is, the healthier it is to fuel inquiry

•  Plus the better data driven decisions will be

Linda Young

“Indeed, the ability to ask the right questions has enabled business leaders to adapt in a rapidly changing marketplace… Inquiring minds can identify new opportunities and fresh possibilities before competitors become aware of them. All of which means that, whereas in the past one needed to appear to have “all the answers” in order to rise in companies, today, at least in some enlightened segments of the business world, the corner office is there for the askers.”

Linda Young

•  Who are my members? •  What do members really need from us? •  What products and services are serving

those needs?

Many curiosities about members

•  What are the characteristics of the next generation and how can we serve them better?

•  How can we [credit unions] better utilize social media so it is meaningful for our members?

•  Why did they [members] choose to join a credit union?

•  Where else do members bank? Why?

•  What does community mean for members?

•  What future regulations do we need to be aware of? How will it impact the credit union’s strategic direction?

Linda Young

•  Better serve existing members and retain them over the long term. •  Attract new members. •  Create products and offer services that would be more relevant. •  Identify a competitive edge over other financial institutions. •  Better plan for a stronger future.
