Your credit union’s employees are its greatest assets. Yet the Great Resignation is testing operations resilience like never before. You need to leverage every person-hour of capacity. You need to weed out every wasted keystroke. You need to automate every task that can be automated. And you need to make each worker’s job higher-value and more fulfilling, to retain your high performers. The Lab cannot change what’s happening in society.
But we can help you achieve all of the above. In just months. And we make it easy for you.
You might need a transformation… once you begin answering some un-asked questions
Transformation triggers hide in plain sight. You just need to know where to look. Ask yourself the following never-asked-questions or NAQs.
NAQ 1: How much knowledge-worker time is spent correcting not-in good-order or “NIGO” errors?
ANSWER: An average of 30 percent of their day. Every day, organization-wide.
By ignoring the upstream root causes of NIGO, you’re squandering nearly a third of your most valuable, hard-to-replace assets: Your workers.
The Lab’s Counter-NIGO Bots can preempt these corrections at the root cause.
NAQ 2: How much knowledge-worker time is consumed by needless variance, i.e., performing identical tasks via one-off, less productive methods?
ANSWER: An average of 20 percent of organizational capacity.
You need to narrow the needlessly wide, unmeasured gap between your highest and lowest performers.
The Lab’s Anti-Variance Bots constantly measure and help management narrow the gaps from one-off work methods.
NAQ3: What percentage of knowledge workers’ tasks could be automated, right now?
ANSWER: About 20 percent of knowledge work activities can be automated, right now—after basic standardization.
So automate now! Stop your brightest employees from fleeing the embarrassingly mindless chores they resent, such as reconciliations and other “stare-and-compare” activities.
The Lab’s catalog of Chore Bots for Credit Unions includes more than 200 of the most common use-cases across the enterprise. Begin deployment in days!
NAQ 4: How can you get the data to grow revenue?
ANSWER: Today, you have all the data needed. (Yes, actually you do.) It’s just fragmented across lots of disconnected systems.
The Lab’s Data-Wrangling bots continuously compile and reconcile inconsistent data elements into a single source of truth—for profitability.
Let The Lab unlock the power of all your data…wherever it’s hiding.
