STRATEGIC PLANING
One of the most critical pieces of building a successful company is having a solid plan for the future. Building your company’s road map will include understanding your goals and aspirations, acknowledging the uncertainties about the future, and constructing a decision-making platform to support your specific direction.  There are many ways to accomplish this task including scenario planning and strategic choice modeling. Either of these methods can be customized to support your needs.
GROWTH STRATEGIES
Growing your company is about making choices – where to invest resources and, more importantly, where not to invest resources. Growth should support your business plan and accomplish goals set in place from your plan. At Morrison Morrell, we look at growth from several perspectives:

  • Balance Sheet Growth – Growing both side of the balance sheet can be critical to support needed growth, and can take different types of focus – loans, deposits, cross-sells, training and development, policies and procedures, etc.
  • Organic Growth – Growing within your current scope and leveraging existing opportunities can be efficient, expedient, and successful.
  • Revenue Enhancements - Develop revenue and expense drivers, opportunities and solutions to increase bottom line impact.

Mergers:
If you can’t grow organically, you can look for merger opportunities. It’s critical to understand the art of a merger and not just the operations. Culture integration can be as important as account integration.
Human Resources
Human Resources:
  • Recruitment, Hiring and Onbording Support
  • Employee Relations and Performance Management
