big bold vision
OUR VISION
Members feel confident in their future. We deliver the right information and the right experience at the right time.
On May 30th we brought together a dynamic group to participate in the OMERS Pension Services strategy retreat. Our focus was to bring the team together to get aligned, excited, and committed around a set of bold and measurable objectives to advance the vision for pension service excellence.
OUR VISION
Our objectives for the day were to decide and commit on:
- An articulation of what the world looks when OMERS PS delivers on our vision
- Bold stretch goals and set of measurable key results
- Detailed action plans and accountability for how to get there
Recap
In the morning we focused on:
- Recap: OMERS PS vision and strategy
- Introduction: our mission and rules of engagement
- Focus areas: prioritizing the orthodoxies we want to flip
- Future OMERS PS: writing the press releases of the future
In the afternoon we focused on:
- Getting to action: identifying big challenges to be overcome
- Objectives: setting stretch goals for our vision
- Key Results: setting measurable indicators of success
- Reflections + commitments: committing to the work ahead
Here's how we did it

1. Pick orthodoxies worth flipping
We looked at challenging the status quo in areas that align to the vision, would delight customers, and create differentiation.

2. Author press releases from the future
We worked backwards by imagining the future customer experience and what would need to be true.

3. Get radically focused on 90-day action plans
We prioritized the challenges-to-be-solved and the stretch goals for this quarter to kickstart momentum.
