Organizational Structure Review

While the strategic plan establishes the future direction of the credit union, the organizational structure provides the framework for executing that plan. All too often, the organizational structure reflects one of the drawbacks of incremental growth - incremental structure changes, or no change at all.  In other cases, the structure has evolved around specific individuals rather than the most effective design.  

With a wide variety of organizational structures currently in use --- member-centric, product-centric, service-centric, platform-centric, geographic, operational, matrix, etc. - there is no single "best" structure that fits every organization. We will work with you to ensure that your organizational structure is aligned with your strategic plans and operational objectives.
