CUES-Heidrick Consulting whitepaper offers guidance for becoming a ‘Superaccelerator’
MADISON, WI (September 12, 2018) — CUES® and Heidrick Consulting, the leadership and culture shaping advisory business of Heidrick & Struggles, have released a new whitepaper: Accelerating Credit Union Performance: Drive and Drag Factors that Determine Credit Unions’ Ability to Consistently and Profitably Deliver Value.
Based on research, global consulting work and a direct survey of CUES members by Heidrick Consulting, this new whitepaper helps credit unions identify key factors that can drive their success or derail them and impede their success. Readers will gain a new roadmap for how credit unions can succeed in today’s fast paced business environment.
“CUES has previously partnered with the Heidrick Consulting team to produce its timely, high quality and highly applicable scenario reports, such as The Future of Payments: Scenarios for Credit Unions,” says Christopher Stevenson, CIE, CUES SVP/Chief Learning Officer. “This new work continues along the path of helping credit unions envision and create a successful future.”
The research studied “superaccelerators”—companies that have achieved high levels of sustained organic growth and profitably —and what they do differently from lower-performing companies.
The findings: Today’s “superaccelerators” relentlessly pursue four core areas to drive growth and value:
- MOBILIZE people around a compelling and simple purpose
- EXECUTE at pace while streamlining resources and operations
- TRANSFORM the business by experimenting and reinventing
- Ensure deep organizational AGILITY
The whitepaper also examines specific drag and drive factors in each of these areas and makes suggestions about what credit unions can do to improve in a particular area.
“Heidrick Consulting is pleased to partner with CUES to offer perspective and best practices for credit unions to accelerate their performance,” says Jarrad Roeder, Principal, Heidrick Consulting. “In addition to identifying the factors helping an organization succeed or fail, it also offers concrete advice about how to reach top performance.”
Accelerating Credit Union Performance is available to CUES members as a benefit of membership. CUES members can download the whitepaper here.
