Strategic Planning
The typical format of our strategic planning process is a 1-day strategic planning retreat, held off-site at a location chosen by the bank. Our goal is to build the planning process around your needs, so many other options are available.  The following are examples of the issue/subjects that might be discussed at a strategic planning retreat. (The specific agenda for the retreat will be developed with the input of the bank prior to the retreat.)
  • Comparison of the bank to peer
  • 5-Year Analysis based on the bank’s current position – completed prior to retreat
  • Strengths/Weaknesses – Opportunities/Threats
  • Regulatory Issues
  • Short-term and long-term objectives
  • What must be accomplished in the next 12 to 18 months, e.g.:
    • Bank’s future focus
    • Geographic expansion – new branches, purchases, LPOs
    • Product expansion – new or changes to existing products
    • Capital utilization
    • Loan growth
    • Funding (deposits, FHLB borrowing, bulletin board CDs)
    • Liquidity
    • Overhead and overhead efficiency
    • Fee income
    • Alternative banking products
    • Technology
    • Incentive compensation
    • Infrastructure
    • Management succession
Based on the information gathered prior to and at the retreat, Young & Associates, Inc. will prepare a written plan for the planning committee, based on what the planning committee wants the bank to accomplish. Professional fees for a strategic plan will vary based on the individual needs of the bank, but typically will run between $8,000 and $12,000. Return to Top
Strategic Plan for Banks Under $100 Million
Every bank could improve performance with an effective strategic plan. But, the cost to smaller banks makes it very difficult to engage a professional facilitator. Young & Associates, Inc. has developed a strategic planning process for under $100 million banks that significantly reduces our cost, which we can then pass on to the client. This reduces the professional fee to approximately $5,450, and also significantly reduces or nearly eliminates out-of-pocket expenses. With this approach, the smallest bank can afford to have the leaders in strategic planning assistance, Young & Associates, Inc., assist in developing an effective strategic plan that will meet the needs of the bank and regulators.
