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.)

| 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.

| Capital adequacy requirements are changing. Community bankers need to understand, plan, and then implement the new regulatory emphasis on the responsibility of the board and senior management to determine capital adequacy based on the specific risk at the bank, and develop a capital contingency plan and policy to ensure capital adequacy after stressing capital. Young & Associates, Inc. can guide you through this process by assisting in the development of a useable methodology that meets the regulatory guidelines while avoiding the traps that an ill-conceived methodology can create.

| Increasing profitability, both in the short term and the long term, is critical to your bank’s success and, in many cases, its survival. Young & Associates, Inc. will analyze the various components of your bank’s stream of earnings and identify those areas that can be pursued to increase your bank’s bottom line and shareholder value. Beyond identification, we make specific and detailed recommendations that your bank can implement in its path toward superior performance.
