The Credit Union Innovation Fellows

Credit Union Innovation Fellows are a select group of leading innovators in the credit union industry who are re-igniting the credit union innovation movement. They are leaders and visionaries in their teams, who often made roles for themselves because they identify needs and develop solutions going beyond their job description expectations. Fellows are truly committed to mission-driven financial services and to serving their members’ needs.

Fellows are guided through a three month experience in which they learn design thinking  and receive mentorship from world renowned social innovation platform OpenIDEO.

We believe that human-centered design can increase the impact that credit unions have on their communities. That is why we have designed the first toolkit for credit union intrapreneurs to embed human-centered design into their credit union. We know this is not an easy task, so we have also included tools on collaboration and getting buy in from peers and members while in this journey.
