Traditional strategic planning gives credit unions an excellent venue to create a strategy for the future success of the organization. Everyone has heard the saying "if you don't know where you're going, how are you going to get there?" A strategic planning session provides the credit union an opportunity to review their mission, values and vision to determine why we are doing what we are doing. A planning session gives your team an opportunity to think, quantitatively and qualitatively, about the why, what, and how of creating your future. It's helpful to evaluate and address the opportunities and threats, the potential for success and for failure. While you might succeed without a plan, it is far more likely that if you fail to plan, you will also fail to succeed.
