Anthony presents current thinking and research on strategic planning in a usable, concise, and practical form. He offers concrete examples and field-tested methods and presents a synthesis of current research findings, writings, and experiences. He identifies and discusses in detail the five key elements in strategic planning. Clearly outlining the steps in the process, he examines environmental forecasting, customer/market analysis, strategic planning premises, internal assessment, mission development, strategic thrusts, and operationalizing the plan. Anthony includes over 25 forms, blank and completed, that managers in the past have found useful for synthesizing, recording, and presenting critical information in the planning process. He devotes an entire chapter to a complete example of one company's strategic plan, allowing other organizations to see how his principles and forms have been applied.

In recent decades, credit unions have seen unprecedented threats, due in large part to an eighty-year-old business model and an inability to adapt quickly to a digital economy. But Kirk Drake has devised a powerful plan to revitalize these noble institutions, making them more competitive, more creative, more connected with their membership, and more in tune with the times. A serial entrepreneur focused on credit-union technology, Drake has written a must-read manual for every CU board member, CEO, and management team in America. The first and only book of its kind, CU 2.0 offers essential strategies for leveraging the latest technologies to facilitate organizational growth and foster more even competition with the banking industry. With the tools provided here, the CU of tomorrow will be better equipped to empower its employees, while giving its members the superior financial service they want and need. It's time to be innovative and bold, to challenge long-standing inefficiencies and move away from the "old school" methods of doing business. CU 2.0 provides the skills, the savvy, and the fresh ideas necessary to finally transport the credit union out of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.
