The Future of Mutuals and Cooperatives

The shift of value creation to platforms and ecosystems opens a wealth of opportunities for mutuals and cooperatives, given their values, community engagement, and focus on sustainability. This keynote shows how to seize them.

Technology is changing customer relationships and enabling new business models across financial services. Expectations for experience, transparency, sustainability, and equity are all rising, and value creation is shifting toward platforms and ecosystems. Ross has delivered many keynotes to mutuals, cooperatives, credit unions, and their associations, especially in financial services, on the potential for the sector and the leadership it takes to realize it.
