What Performance Stories Are Your Peer Groups Telling?
Too often, benchmarking is treated as a scorecard — a way to check performance against peers for board prep, audits, or strategic planning discussions.
But the choice of peer group matters, it can help you tell a more complete story about your credit union’s performance and validate strategic decisions.
