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

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

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 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.”
