Taking Risk: The Risk Profile Necessary for Innovation and Transformation
Tom Glatt, Jr., Principal/Strategy Consultant, Glatt Consulting Group, Inc.
You want to be a strong digital competitor, and that means embracing innovation. New products, new processes, and most importantly, new strategies will be necessary to drive innovation - and “new” requires taking risks. But not every organization has what it takes to take risk due to the risk profiles of their leadership teams. In this session, Tom Glatt will utilize the Risk Type Compass to describe the various risk-taking profile types individuals possess, explore the profile types necessary to drive innovation, and leave you with tips on how to deal with risk aversion in positive and helpful ways.
11:35 a.m. – 12:35 p.m.

Technology Due-Diligence Before a Merger or Acquisition
Peter Fugaro, President, Prymak, LLC
The NCUA approved 76 mergers in Q1 and Q2 of 2022, up from Q1 2021. As the trend continues, credit union boards need to continue to be vigilant throughout the due-diligence process. One area that can get overlooked is technology: what will the new technology infrastructure look like after the merger?

Transformation Goals: Creating Forward-Looking Organizational Guidance
Tom Glatt, Jr., Principal/Strategy Consultant, Glatt Consulting Group, Inc.
The world largest, most successful, and best known companies did not start at the top, nor did they get there by accident. Most, if not all of them, used a tried and true methodology for establishing organizational goals - goals that then challenged their respective leadership teams to achieve peak performance and create exceptional shareholder value. While many credit unions set goals, few set the kinds of transformative, forward-looking goals that drive peak performance and exceptional value. In this session Tom Glatt will teach you how to rethink your goal structure and development process using the same tried and true methodologies in place at the world’s best run companies.
10:05 – 10:20 a.m.
Networking and Refreshment Break
10:20 – 11:20 a.m.
Understanding Cybersecurity and Protecting Member Data
Peter Fugaro, President, Prymak, LLC
The ability for credit unions to use the cloud and online technologies creates the power to add new products, improve service for existing members and attract new membership. But online hacking, data breaches and identity theft are present in cyberspace and adds risk to a credit union’s operation. This session is designed to present in a straightforward manner how credit union executives and board members can understand how the institution can take advantage of the web while limiting risks and protecting member data.
11:25 a.m. – 12:25 p.m.
