“You can create an amazing strategic plan,” said Joe Newberry, CEO and President of RFCU, “however, culture is the engine that drives strategic objectives and performance. It is the greatest tool for achieving organizational success—you need your people aligned and a culture that supports it to achieve results.”
In 2014, the credit union deployed an immersive culture transformation process that spanned five years. Since then, Redstone has experienced breakthroughs in cross-collaboration and strategic alignment, surpassing its previous metrics and achieving maximum-tier goals.
Redstone competed against international corporations, such as BNY Mellon and State Street Corporation, to be named the winner in the category of Operational Excellence in Banking, Capital Markets and Insurance.
The Platinum Award captured the ‘best of the best’ of all entries beating out major corporations that included Bristol-Myers Squibb and Arrow Electronics.
The Business Transformation & Operational Excellence Awards were established to showcase globally the most outstanding organizational achievements through the application of Operational Excellence programs. The awards are administered by Global Media Research LTD of London through nominations by leading operational consultancies across the globe.
