Session 1: Where are we going? CECL, DEI and industry update
A discussion regarding how the industry is doing and where it is going. Highlighting what the current trends and challenges are for the financial institutions industry. As institutions look ahead, where will they be one, three and five years from now, and how might strategic plans be impacted? Learn what is new on the CECL front and discuss best practices uncovered by early adopters. Learn more about the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts and its future impacts, as well as best practices when launching and sustaining DEI initiatives.
Session 2: Practices that attract and retain employees
In today’s tight labor market, financial institutions have to use a two-pronged approach to talent: first, determining how to find the best talent available in the marketplace and, second, focusing on retaining current employees. In addition to implementing retention practices such as career blueprints, mentoring programs and succession plans, other dynamics come into play, such as understanding the needs of each generation. This session highlights these topics and more!
Session 3: Keynote — The future economy: Opportunities for growth
The world is going to see more economic change in the next five years than we have seen in the last 100 years. The year 2022 will be transformational as trends super-charged by the pandemic fully exert themselves on the economy. AI, robots, Zoom, ESG and bitcoin are just a few of the extraordinary tools being leveraged right now to help business overcome, adapt and thrive. Are you aligning yourself for what will occur? Andrew Busch dives deep into exploring how innovation, policy changes and societal shifts drive opportunities for customers. Are you thinking about how to run your institution better or how you can grow it faster? How are you challenging yourself with new ideas, new concepts and innovation? Can you understand the economic forces driving change to lead you in transforming your institution and adapting your strategy to take control of the future? Andrew Busch is an economic futurist. He creates context for understanding where we’ve been, where we are and where we’re going on the economy and policy. He covers the super-charged trends impacting business and provides a case study to apply these for future growth opportunities.
Session 4: Digital transformation: Unlocking true potential
Digital has already revolutionized the way financial institutions of every shape and size conduct business, manage their operations and engage. No one is immune to the disruptive threats — and tremendous opportunities — available through digital. During this session, Marcie, Lisa and Billy will unpack the organizational requirements, essential tooling and evolutionary client-first mindset that must be present for financial institutions to unlock the true potential of digital within their organizations.
Session 5: Facing the flat rate environment
As the yield curve continues to deliver low rates, what strategies are financial institutions seeing and implementing to face the challenge? Bank on Wipfli podcast host Robert Zondag explores options and tools to manage the current rate environment as well as ideas to stabilize income currently being used by our clients nationwide. This session will focus on practical approaches for executive leadership teams to consider.
