Raising the Bar: Leadership for the New Future

Will Marré
Founder, American Dream Project
 

There is only one thing we can be sure of. The future will be different. Competition, technology, services, member expectations, consolidations all make the next decade a time of re-definition for credit unions large and small. Uncertain times require more certain leadership. Leadership that understands that credit unions offer a unique value advantage. An advantage that is the basis for growth, employee and member loyalty and higher performance.

In this keynote, the audience will learn:

  • What kind of leaders will be successful in our future economy.

  • How leaders are building people-centered cultures to drive innovative growth.

  • How cultures of trust reduce friction from acquisitions and mergers.

  • How strategic execution is driven through carefully designed and immediate accountability.

  • How over-investing in the new “benefits of affinity” will create the unique value advantage of the future.

How Mobile Phones Are Changing Contact Center Operations, Member Self-Service & Payments

Richard Crone
Founder, Crone Consulting, LLC

Recent studies validated that households are now shedding landlines and relying solely on mobile phones at an exponential rate, with upwards to one-third (and growing) of some demographic segments relying entirely on wireless communications. As did the Internet, the advent of near ubiquitous use of cell phones is changing the game for member self-service and electronic payments. Most mobile payments solutions and their early pilots have been focused on the use of one of three technologies: Simple Message Service (SMS), Mobile Wallets and Near Field Communication (NFC) chips. This session will contrast and compare the results of real-life deployments for each of these technologies as well as completely new mobile self-service and payment technologies. This session will also provide an interactive forum for objectively contrasting and comparing the pros, cons, risks and costs of each of the technologies, approaches and market making strategies for mobile payments and mobile-based member self-service.
