This case study documents a credit union's strategy to shift from incremental growth to extreme growth through a business development focus on large employer groups. The credit union developed a strategy to grow members and balances by engaging new employer group employees so they resemble existing members. They targeted employer groups of 500+ employees and saw success engaging large groups like One America with 1400 employees. In the first year, member growth was 22% and balance growth exceeded targets. The strategy helped achieve the credit union's goal of becoming a $3 billion institution through extreme growth.
