Financial products are commodities. Financial institutions are commodified. And the expansion of innovative players means credit unions have to work harder than ever to build the confidence and trust of members. Filene on Human-Centered Design brings together big thinkers from the academy, design innovators, and credit union creators that understand—and conquer—the commodifying tendencies that threaten the value you return to members.

Join us in Austin, Texas for a one-day colloquium that weds ideas and actions. We'll show you how to bring solid design principles into product creation, member service, and differentiation strategies. You'll hear from thinkers and doers from inside and outside of credit unions and come away with ideas and tactics for injecting design thinking into your own credit union.

Filene's annual member meeting will take place during lunch at our Future of Design Colloquium.
