Gearing Up for a “95/5” Year
95% Focusing the Next 12 Months on Delivering on Past Commitments 5% Staying the Course on Our Goals to be Visionaries, Challengers, & Game Changers
August 2013
An Ongoing Foundation For How We Plan, Every Year
Reviewing Our Approach
3
(1) Differentiating Our Network Approach Old Game/New Game
Old Game (Standalone CU Model)
New Game (Collaborative/ Networked CU Model)
1 People Who Need Leaders (CU boards/ volunteers with a charter)
The Ultimate Client 10 (CU boards looking to field a team to lead their organization)
2 People Who Lead and Need Processes to Run a Business
(CU CEOs)
Professional Management Vendors 9 (Organizations designed to lead networks of credit unions
or operational clusters)
3 People Who Design Processes for People to Use Tools
(CU management teams) Professional Service Vendors 8 (Organizations designed to consult and outsource process oversight and design)
4 People Who Use Tools (CU staff members)
Shared Employee Service Businesses 7 (Organizations designed to execute on behalf of the CU’s business plan through
shared teams and personnel offerings)
5 Tools (CU*Answers solutions, old game)
Tool Providers 6 (CU*Answers solutions, old game)

(2) Attacking Our Marketplace with a Layered Design
LAYER 1: CU*A TOOL PROVIDER/CLASSIC CORE PROCESSING 1. Packaged revenue expectations 2. Diverse and general approaches 3. Responding to operational models and configurations 4. Leveraging an active audience upstream to conceptual models, and their evolution
LAYER 2: CU*ANSWERS MANAGEMENT SERVICES 5. A la carte service revenue expectations 6. Specialty services and expert approaches 7. Driving conceptual models and change into credit union configurations 8. Leveraging expertise downstream for core processing depth and expertise
LAYER 3: CUASTERISK.COM NETWORK CONFIGURATIONS 9. Wholesale and alliance-based revenue expectations
10. Franchise-like business expansion (cuasterisk operations) 11. Alliance-based alternative business expansion (non-CU*BASE leverage) 12. Shared infrastructure projects 13. Leveraging expertise across shared commonalities
5
(3) Goals for Expanding our Client Base
1. Work with more diverse and complex CUs who have dedicated and specialized teams.
2. Increase our solutions’ viability for larger CUs and match up better with a wider set of CU decision-makers.
3. Broaden our geographic marketplace and build additional regional intensity to expand where we are doing business.
4. Leverage our capabilities, talents, and software copyrights to expand into other businesses, both inside and outside the credit union industry.
Manage FEP/ING
Manage Conversions
Attacking the 95% in 2014

Goal #1 for 2014:
Manage FEP/ING
Finish the programming and keep the programming team ready to respond to QC and rollout issues Finish the QC and documentation efforts, over and over, until we get it right
Use talents from every department at the point of need as things come up
Be single-minded until this is complete – free up these resources as needed to stay focused

Goal #1 for 2014:
Manage FEP/ING
Manage our release schedule for 2014 ING rollout in February 2014 FEP rollout in September
2014 Normal CU*BASE software
releases during 2014 “Life happens”...
Accounting Top 10 projects Key Lending projects such as
Associated Apps Misc. Analytics projects
Will likely use the new Active Beta process even more in 2014

Interesting sidebar...
It’s My Biz 247
Creates the vision for multiple, targeted online banking applications
It’s My Biz 247 will develop into its own copyright – might be the first property we take outside of the CU*BASE audience Helping credit unions be able to say,
“we’re a credit union for businesses”
Mobility – products for the CU executive of the future
11
Goal #2 for 2014:
Manage Conversions
Conversion resources may come from the same pool that is developing and delivering on FEP/ING Teams need to understand their
priorities, deadlines, and the importance of communicating changes constantly
Develop an independent merger management resource Market that we will help CUs acquire merger
opportunities, beyond just facilitating the data processing project
Be ready to flex our investment in staff, travel, and concessions to complete these projects on time and meet the expectations of our new partners
Conversion blackout: October-
December 2014
12
Interesting sidebar...
Sales Planning
With a sold-out 2014 conversion calendar and the blackout period for FEP, sales will have some new focuses in 2014: Introductions to new markets (the Vic Pantea
project) Prepare our launch for an aggressive attack on in-
house servicing opportunities Make the call:
Open new Tier 1 markets and aggressively fund their expansion, OR
Purchase markets and start an M&A investment initiative, OR
Make a concrete investment in cuasterisk.com and expand our wholesale partners list
13
Attacking the 95% in 2014
Stay focused until we deliver FEP/ING and all of our contracted conversions Oh, and handle mergers, de-conversions, vendor
changes, EFT mandates, regulatory changes that pop up...
In other words, a normal year Development and delivery processes will be on
hyper drive in 2014“It’s a good test to see how we can step up and one day say that it’s normal around here to deliver big development projects and over 150K members every year. Let’s build a design so that we can jump up a tier and start a new growth curve for the next decade.”
Goal #1: Stay the Course on Our 2013 Business Plan Theme
Goal #2: Business Development
Goal #3: UCI
Goal #4: e-Documents Culture Change
Goal #5: The Next Decade
Attacking the 5% in 2014
15
Goal #1: Stay the Course on our 2013 Theme
Someday when people look back on CU*Answers, what do we want them to say?
Remember the projects from 2013 and constantly ask, “is the marketplace starting to perceive us this
way?”
“CU*Answers was a team of visionaries, game changers, and
challengers...cuasterisk.com was a network of
those kinds of people, and inspired generations of credit unions to adopt those same
goals.”
16
Goal #2: Business Development
Build a business development process and set of resources Effective in building businesses Tangible enough to market our capabilities for business
development
Create a stable of business development project managers who work through a process design A spec and program for connecting business
development project managers with CU*Answers talents who’ve built the businesses we already have Production Center DR/BR efforts Accounting and legal services Consulting Building businesses through
cuasterisk.com
18
Goal #2: UCI
Take our middleware investment to the next level Reposition its brand and sell its potential as a new
platform
Create a deeper set of vendor references for its potential and a standing resource for quicker response to projects
Create a deep list of transaction types with various purposes Post to a member’s account, authenticate a user, update
data, create a relationship, etc.
19
Goal #3: e-Documents Culture Change
Truly embed these ideas in our organization so that we are experts beyond a vendor relationship and can guarantee how those ideas work for our clients and owners
The next decade for eDOC returns needs new expectations

Goal #4: The Next Decade
Develop a marketing campaign and set of elevator speeches about the opportunity we see in the next decade and how we are driving to constantly evolve the model Sell our Pricing Focus Group Study and respond to the potential impact of new
owners Develop the confidence (inside and out) that we can
transition our team resources based on anticipated departures in the next 10 years
Take a hard look at our events calendar and what we are expecting from our clients and owners as far as time and input
21
And don’t forget...
Continuing on our 2012 and 2013 paths towards:
Improving our solutions (what we sell)
Improving our business (supporting what we sell)
Improving our collaborative environment (credit union business models, infrastructure, and non-credit union partners)
Even though this year’s plan is dominated 95% by things already known, there are still long-term goals in everything we do, every day
We learn as we do; we are constantly evolving
Join in the effort to make some big things happen this year for all our owners: CU members
