The post-pandemic workplace is not going to be like it was when you worked in the office before 2020. As companies grapple with their hybrid work plans, leaders are taking this moment to refresh and reset. Leaders need to think consciously about creating a post-pandemic workplace that creates meaningful gatherings in new space designs.  In today's episode, we interview Tracy Brower, a PhD sociologist, author and a principal with Steelcase Applied resource and consulting group. Tracy explains that instead of “getting our employees back to the office”, we need to talk about how we are going to make our return to the office more compelling.  Meaningful GatheringsYour employees want to be together, but they've likely made it clear that they desire to gather in person only when it makes sense. They enjoy gathering in person because they want to connect with their colleagues. Meaningful gatherings mean identifying and creating significant mini-events that purposefully require in-person presence. These in-person gatherings must be meaningful according to the people attending - not just according to the leadership. These in-person experiences need to create awe. Awe is when we feel like we belong to a part of something that's big and awesome. Meaningful gatherings create employees who are happier because these gatherings recognize their contributions. When employees see the link between their work and how it serves the purpose of the company, they feel a sense of joy. Organizations need to be really clear in sharing this link during these in-person experiences. Talk to your employees about how meaningful gatherings give people the proper recognition, feed the company's purpose, and allow for proper planning and reflection. These conversations will help compel your employees to understand the role of returning to the office.Planning & ReflectionPlanning and reflection are two activities that need to be meaningful in-person gatherings. In our  North American culture, we don't take a lot of time to reflect or to be intentional. We like to do things without planning and ignore reflection. Planning and reflection are two critical activities in a successful organization. Planning and reflection help feed a sense of team belonging and encourages a growth mindset. These gatherings allow employees to develop and stretch which is directly correlated with employee happiness.Stakeholder-Focused GatheringsBring in your customers or stakeholders for a small event to share stories with potential customers or employees. For example, host an event where you invite your current customers and your potential customers and let your current customers share stories about their success with your organization. This gathering creates more unity between not only your current and potential customers, but also between your employees as well.Alone, TogetherMany organizations are now using their work cafés for remote workers who need to do focus work, and also want to be around other people. Unlike a productive work-from-home space, Alone Together is a gathering similar to an internal We-Work. These office spaces allow remote workers to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation, even if they're not working with the other people in the space.  CelebrationsThere are many meaningful reasons to celebrate inside your organization. When celebrating, some companies use an artifact, like a cart, to use for their celebrations. This cart gets rolled out for events like baby showers, cocktail hours, and honoring employees. 

“What matters is what you believe you can do.” - Greg MitchellThank you for tuning in to episode 121 of The CUInsight Experience podcast with your host, Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight.com.

After listening to our show, be sure to register for CUES' new online panel discussion series, Real Talk. The inaugural topic, Women in the Workforce, kicks off on November 10th. Register now at cues.org/realtalk.My guest on today's show is Greg Mitchell, President & CEO of First Tech Federal Credit Union. In this episode, we chat about strategic innovation, maintaining purpose, and levels of change in transformation. We walk through Greg's career journey from the United States Coast Guard to Credit Union CEO and the many leadership lessons he's learned along the way. Greg shares that First Tech's focus is on making a material difference in the community by combining technology and relationships. We learn that innovation is not new to First Tech, as the credit union was among the first to offer online banking services. During the conversation, Greg encourages leaders to research when, where, and how members want to engage before making large investments.As we move forward, Greg shares tips for creating strategic plans around technology and member services. He explains that credit unions can position themselves to address the digital expectations of members while maintaining the human aspect with deep insight and care. No matter the size of a credit union, the right strategy can be carried out efficiently. Although Greg's start in the industry was not intentional, he appreciates the credit union movement for helping him discover the best version of himself as a confident leader. We learn that he enjoys the outdoors and his woodworking shop is where he finds space to think strategically. Tune in to hear what Greg is reading and his definition of a true leader.

Neil Ackerman is the Head of Global Supply Chain Innovation Hubs in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, and Africa for Johnson & Johnson. He is an industry expert in supply chain fulfillment, integrated business planning, and marketplaces. Because of his extensive knowledge, he's been featured in numerous best-selling books including, Amazon Unbound, Always Day One, Behemoth Amazon Rising, and AI in The Wild. Before joining Johnson & Johnson, Neil worked in Israel as the Managing Director for global supply chain innovation in the Middle East and Africa. He also held various positions at Amazon, including as the Senior Manager for Business Development and Strategic Planning and the General Manager and Inventor of the Amazon Small and Light program. He holds 11 US patents with Amazon.com and has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and numerous international publications. In this episode… Recent disruptions in supply chain management have had a major impact on the production and provision of goods and services — and innovation hasn't been left untouched, either. These issues have caused friction among manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and customers. However, when handled well, such disruptions can help bring about better changes and great improvements in the way things are done.  In the case of Amazon, the company caused a lot of friction when it spearheaded online sales innovation and disrupted the normal supply chain in the market. However, it also brought about harmony by shifting the focus to delighting their customers. All of this applies to any kind of business, including dealerships, where the most successful dealers are those that are fully committed to delighting their customers. In this episode of the InsideAuto Podcast, Aharon Horwitz is joined by Neil Ackerman, the Head of Global Supply Chain Innovation Hubs at Johnson & Johnson, to find out how creating harmony in a disrupted supply chain can lead to innovations and customer delight. Neil talks about common challenges faced by businesses due to delayed deliveries, the importance of partnerships, and how disruptions in the supply chain can impact innovation. Stay tuned.

On this episode of Dear Strategy, we talk about the difference between a product strategy and a go-to-market plan, and why it's important to have both of these key planning tools working together in harmony. Key Takeaways: A product strategy and a go-to-market plan are two distinctly different, yet very much coordinated planning tools. A go-to-market plan is a dynamic and continuous plan that exists throughout a product's entire lifecycle and not just at product launch. Your product strategy should provide direction on your product's over-arching business goals and initiatives, whereas your go-to-market plan should provide more specific details on your product's target customers, value proposition, positioning, and marketing mix (product, price, promotion, and placement) roadmaps.

SummaryHow has strategic planning changed during the pandemic?What are general blind spots when it comes to strategic planning in our social sector?What are jazzy new approaches to strategic planning that civil society organizations should consider?And what are the warning signs, as a strategy consultant, that tell you you should not get involved?In this podcast episode, I discuss with Dave Algoso, strategy facilitator and consultant 'par excellence', how civil society organizations (CSOs)  have changed how they go about strategic planning in this very uncertain world. Dave Algoso's BioIndependent consultant at Open CoLab, Dave's consulting company In-house Organizer at Civic Hall, NYC (2017)Managing Director at Reboot (2013 - 2015)Program Manager at MercyCorps (2010 - 2013)Senior Analyst at Advisory Board Company (2005 - 2007) We discuss: What makes strategic planning in the social sector different from  the private sector (where much of the publications on strategic planning originates)?How has strategic planning changed for nonprofits and social enterprises in the pandemic, and what kind of blind spots does Dave see?How can facilitators of strategic planning processes work around any attempts by participants to primarily protect self-interest or turf, that may muddy a good process?How can we avoid  a strategic plan merely ending up on a shelf, collecting dust, never to be used again?Why do some nonprofits show little discipline in making sure a newly formed strategy is ‘cascading' down in the organization and translated into real direction setting and consequences for everybody - and what can be done about this?What's the latest and greatest in strategic planning? And what are ‘classics' that still merit using? Quotes“I am skeptical about using private sector strategic planning tools in the social sector”“A strategy should not fall prey to irrelevance by being just a shiny PDF”“In terms of strategy tools, I am still a stickler for the good old 2 X 2 matrix” Resources:LinkedInCompany WebsiteSSIR article by Dave (contact Tosca at tosca@5oaksconsulting.org if you want access to an 'ungated' copy)Dave's article on MediumTwitter Click here to subscribe to be alerted when new podcast episodes come out or when Tosca produces other thought leadership pieces.Or email Tosca at tosca@5oaksconsulting.org if you want to talk about your social sector organization's needs, challenges, and opportunities.You can find Tosca's content by following her on her social media channels: Twitter LinkedIn Facebook Youtube

We chat about being intentional and how leaders can refocus on their “why.” Gigi shares how she maintains purpose both personally and professionally and the importance of showing up for people where they need us the most. We talk about intentionality and the power credit unions have to help members experience financial well-being. Gigi shares that leaders must be mindful that we all have different realities, and in order to best serve members we have to slow down and listen. She believes that we can use this global crisis to return back to our “why.”Gigi and I also chat about her career journey and the many leadership lessons she's learned along the way. She believes there is no one way to be a leader, and it takes a vulnerable leader to push a team forward. We discuss her introduction to credit unions through her career in law and her transition from the NCUA to The Foundation.     As we wrap up the show, we learn that Gigi enjoys nature and is an avid “birder.” Although the pandemic has been challenging, she is grateful for the opportunity to spend more time with her family and discover new skills.

Robin Champ is the Chief of the Enterprise Strategy Division at the United States Secret Service (USSS), where she leads both foresight and strategic planning for the organization. Prior to joining USSS, Ms. Champ was the Chief of the Global Futures Office at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). Prior to joining DTRA, Ms. Champ worked at the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Office of Strategic Planning and Enterprise Transformation (J-5), where she was the DLA Lead for the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review. In addition to her official positions, Ms. Champ Co-Leads the Federal Foresight Community of Interest (see links below). She also is a guest lecturer on foresight at George Washington University’s “Mastering Strategy for the Public Sector” course. In today’s podcast, Ms. Champ discusses women leading in national security, empowering diversity to think about the future, and how emerging technologies and trends will affect Secret Service missions. The following bullet points highlight key insights from our interview: Planning for the future involves analyzing trends and considering multiple alternate trajectories. Clearly communicating findings to leaders is essential to create actionable change, and particularly important when government agencies are tasked with ‘no fail missions.’ Generating foresight and creating strategy plans require the Government to fully leverage the nation’s diversity and talent. Recruiting and maintaining this workforce should be a priority for government agencies. The Secret Service has a robust foresight program, providing newsletters, speaker series, and strategic plans to its members. This program enables the Secret Service to identify and mitigate its weaknesses that could be taken advantage of during critical decisive moments. Readers and listeners can connect with the Federal Foresight Community of Interest at org and on their LinkedIn page. Trends considered in futures forecasting are constantly in flux, necessitating that agencies prepare for multiple possible futures Embracing endless possibilities and establishing networks of partners at home and abroad will allow the United States to prepare a resilient long term defense strategy. Though typically associated with the protection of the President, the Secret Service is also mandated with the protection of U.S. currency from counterfeiters. This task has gotten increasingly challenging in the era of cryptocurrency, as criminal methods capitalize on this novel technology. However, new technologies have also provided the Secret Service with new techniques to trace financial flows and protect the U.S. currency.

Our associate director Burghardt “BT” Tenderich and director of strategic planning at Weber Shandwick Julia Kiefaber, who led this research and the resulting study entitled “Trends and Best Practices in Brand Purpose Communications,” share some insights from their work for practitioners in this episode of #PRFuture.

“Great leaders are great because they put in a lot of effort.” - Paris ChevalierThank you for tuning in to episode 117 of The CUInsight Experience podcast with your host, Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight.com. This episode is brought to you by our friends at CUES. CUES is the leading talent development solutions provider to the credit union industry.My guest on today's show is Paris Chevalier, President and CEO of South Bay Credit Union, based in California. In this episode, Paris shares her career path to CEO, the importance of supportive circles, and her thoughts on what is leading the credit union industry forward. Throughout the show, Paris provides a glimpse into what work-life integration looks like for her, tips to help empower your team, and how to manage the rapid innovation surging within the credit union space.Paris believes CEOs need to continually focus on the big and communicate how all departments and roles work together to keep moving forward. She chats about her process to learn departments, new technology, and shared goals within the credit union. Paris relies on her marketing skills and the lessons from progressive and visionary mentors to thrive in her non-traditional career path. She attributes much of her success to her supportive circles inside and outside of the industry.Collaboration and team development help Paris maintain purpose, and she often finds joy in helping her team discover solutions for themselves. Looking forward, Paris believes that credit unions will stay relevant because we have embraced our key differences and because our innovation comes with enthusiasm and engagement. As we wrap up the show, Paris expresses thoughts on the “born leader” phrase and dispels other leadership myths. We learn what she was like throughout school and the reasonable trouble she got into during college. Paris shares some encouraging words for new leaders and shares who she thinks of when she hears the word “success.” Enjoy my conversation with Paris Chevalier! Find the full show notes on cuinsight.com.Subscribe on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher Books mentioned on The CUInsight Experience podcast: Book List How to find Paris:Paris Chevalier, President & CEO of South Bay Credit Unionparischevalier@gmail.comhttps://www.southbaycu.com   Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn

“How do you show up when it matters to your members?” - Kevin BethuneThank you for tuning in to episode 116 of The CUInsight Experience podcast with your host, Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight.com. This episode is brought to you by our friends at CUES.

We also dive into how credit unions can best position themselves to adapt to the digital transformation and still keep members first.From engineering to designing, Kevin's career journey includes a host of pivots and exploration. He shares his passion for embracing curiosity and believes multidisciplinary convergence is necessary to identify leadership potential and serve communities holistically. Kevin shares that to be a strong leader, you don't have to be the strongest voice in the room but you must always be willing to serve.As we dive deeper into how Kevin maintains purpose, he shares that human potential starts with understanding who the efforts and contributions are serving. Kevin says it's easy to get consumed in market funnels and clicks, when instead, the people should remain the focus. He explains that this is something credit unions do well and what will keep them relevant in the overall financial services market. Throughout the conversation, Kevin encourages credit unions to seek opportunities that foster even better human connection and continue to give members the confidence to move forward.During our rapid fire questions we learn what Kevin was like in high school, what he enjoys doing outside of the office, and the great people he surrounds himself with to reach the next level. As we wrap up the show, Kevin encourages leaders to ask themselves, “Where is the future going?” This answer will help executives and teams refocus on strategic thinking and prepare themselves for shifts that come along the way.
