Financial Storytelling - The Money Story: Making it Matter to Members
Learn how to engage cooperative members in conversations about your business's financial performance.
Improving business outcomes and building a culture of shared ownership can be achieved by focusing on a cooperative's financial information. But not every member in every cooperative is a numbers person, and we've designed a solution. The Money Story is designed to help cooperative business managers transform every member from confused to informed and empowered through financial storytelling.
This transformation isn't just possible, it's necessary. Once everyone in a cooperative understands a business's numbers, they can participate effectively in workplace decisions and help drive positive business outcomes.
