ALCO meetings have earned a reputation: too many scenarios (shocks, ramps, twists, EVE/NEV, stress tests for IRR alone… sound familiar?), too backward-looking, too much checking the box. But what if you could flip the script?
As margins improve, deposit growth shows signs of life, and regulation may be easing, now is not the time to coast. What are the risks of tomorrow? Are there less obvious opportunities worth considering today? In other words, what are you missing?
Join Darling Consulting Group for this timely session that will help you optimize your ALCO discussions. We’ll explore best practices on ALCO structure and process, and show how to transform that “dreaded” meeting into a strategic asset that surfaces opportunities and drives better outcomes.
You’ll walk away with practical ideas on how to:
Structure a strategically-focused ALCO meeting that engages leadership
Simplify complex decisions
Leverage data to tell your institution’s story – and drive action
Get the right people in the room
Elevate ALCO to a source of strategic clarity
