Simplicity Credit Union tells their story:

“Overall the biggest impact of OnSemble is just how easy it is to manage,” Laszewski said, “That we no longer have to depend on the IT department or programming knowledge. Setting up a page and making it look beautiful is a matter of just drag and drop, resizing an image. The simplicity of learning it and navigating it.”

"One of the biggest reasons I would recommend OnSemble is for when we need help, we deal with a lot of vendors and when we need help some vendors really kinda fail you," concluded Campbell, "You guys have never failed us. I think it’s easy to be polite and businesslike, but it’s hard to actually demonstrate how much you care. And I honestly feel that Passageways genuinely cares that we have a great experience."

The System Permission App ensures that only the right people have access to the right data and programs they need to do their jobs.

By leveraging role-based templates, System Permissions streamlines managing and extending permissions when individuals join your organization, when they change roles, or when they exit your team.

Has your board oversight extended to incorporate culture? Have you considered how to measure your organizations ‘Corporate Culture’? Wondering how culture is a contributor to risk? Can cultural transformation help improve organizational valuation?

Leaders today identify the profound influence culture has on people’s behavior, innovation and customer service. While a significant contributor to an organizations ‘competitive advantage’ as an intangible asset, culture can turn into a liability with lack of oversight & governance from organizational leaders.

Join experts – Stuart R. Levine, Chairman & CEO, Stuart Levine & Associates, and Brian P. Rivel, Chairman & CEO, Rivel Research Group.

In this webinar, we will discuss the following current and challenging governance and board issues as it pertains to corporate culture:
• Defining corporate culture & its impact on shareholder value. Why Investors care now?
• How culture starts at the top with CEO dashboards
• How to measure corporate culture to minimize risk and improve valuation?
• Importance of ongoing measurement of cultural alignment to ensure engagement, accountability and employee satisfaction
• How robust strategic communication impacts alignment of your organizational values and culture
• How a data baseline combined with common values sets the stage for success
• Importance of alignment and criteria based resource prioritization
• Transforming a culture and what the process looks like for sustainability
