The Challenge: Are Behavioral Biases Impacting Your Credit Union's Strategic Execution?
The Challenge: Are Behavioral Biases Impacting Your Credit Union's Strategic Execution?
In today's complex financial landscape, effective risk decision-making is paramount, yet it often relies on subjective judgment or unexamined behavioral biases. Misaligned risk appetites, communication breakdowns, and a lack of self-awareness among leaders and teams can jeopardize strategic execution, stifle innovation, and expose your credit union to unforeseen risks. How deeply does your institution truly understand the collective risk disposition that influences every critical decision? Moving beyond technical risk models, optimizing your human capital in risk perception and response is a key differentiator.
Our Solution: Data-Driven Risk Decision-Making with the Risk Type Compass™
Our Solution: Data-Driven Risk Decision-Making with the Risk Type Compass™
As certified experts in the globally validated Risk Type Compass™ (RTC), Glatt Consulting Group delves into the deeply rooted, personality-based risk dispositions of your individuals, teams, and departments. We move beyond conventional risk management to uncover the human factors influencing every decision, providing a unique lens into your organization's risk culture. Here's how we do it.
1: Assess Individual & Team Risk Decision-Making
Using the sophisticated RTC assessment, we objectively analyze how individuals and teams naturally perceive, react to, and take risks. The RTC identifies eight distinct Risk Types (e.g., Prudent, Adventurous, Deliberate, Axial) based on fundamental dimensions like fearfulness (Emotional:Calm scale) and impulsivity (Daring:Measured scale). This provides objective insights into their inherent behavioral biases and decision-making styles, crucial for roles from the C-suite to front-line management.
2: Map Your Credit Union's Risk Landscape
Beyond individual assessments, we utilize the RTC to map your organization's "risk landscape." This powerful analytical tool allows us to visualize the distribution of different Risk Types across teams and departments, identifying concentrations or gaps in risk disposition. This helps you understand where "hot" or "cold" risk spots exist within your credit union, and how they align (or misalign) with your strategic objectives.
3: Facilitate Targeted Individual & Team Development
With objective insights into your leadership and team risk profiles, we facilitate tailored development programs. We address phenomena like "risky shift" (groups becoming overly adventurous) or "cautious shift" (groups becoming overly risk-averse), foster mutual respect among diverse risk types, and empower leaders and teams to maximize their strengths while mitigating potential blind spots in decision-making.
4: Inform Strategic Discussion & Alignment
The profound insights gained from your risk landscape and leadership assessments directly feed into your strategic planning and governance discussions. We help you evaluate whether your organizational culture and leadership's collective risk disposition is optimally aligned with your strategic goals, risk appetite, and the effective execution of your mission.
