The Path Forward
A phased path, not a five-year transformation program.
The right pace for Credit Union is small, provable, and compounding. We commit to shipping something real, to real members, inside the first twenty weeks.
Phase 01
Understand what already works
Interviews with Credit Union operations, lending, and member services teams. Data-flow map across core, digital, card, and CRM. Two candidate initiatives selected for pilot.
- —Signed readiness assessment
- —Prioritized 12-month roadmap
- —Fixed-price pilot proposal
Phase 02
Ship one initiative to real members
A single, scoped launch — e.g. cash-flow-based loan pre-approval — delivered to a member cohort. Instrumentation-first. Measurable against clear success metrics before any wider commitment.
- —Live in production with real members
- —Weekly outcome telemetry to leadership
- —Go / no-go decision at week 20
Phase 03
Compound the wins into a program
Winning pilots become permanent capabilities. Additional initiatives from the roadmap enter the queue. USMICRO embeds a durable delivery pod alongside Credit Union's in-house team.
- —Second and third initiatives live
- —Internal team upskilled on the stack
- —Annual outcomes report to the board
