About the Webinar
Data driven credit unions are leading the way in the digital transformation of their member experience to the backend infrastructure. However, for changes to scale, be effective in their transformation, and generate value for their members, leadership teams need to start with the 'why'. Why should I bother changing? What benefits can I expect? And ultimately, what's my goal? – am I trying lower cost or improve member experience? This is why strategy is so important in all areas of business, but particularly so when it comes to data strategy. Understanding the importance of data strategy to your business and what users are hoping to achieve by doing it, will be the key to executing a successful strategy.
Please join George Estrada, Principal Strategic Advisor for Credit Unions with AWS, Chad Ritchie, Chief Information Officer of Ventura County Credit Union, Sean Daly, President and CEO of People’s Credit Union, and Jamie Jackson, Founder & CEO of Arkatechture, as they discuss what is a data strategy for a credit union.
