Financial Services Practice

Leverage data to identify patterns that reveal qualitative insights unique to each market. Our bespoke analytics will inform powerful arguments, isolate risks, and help you hone in on areas of untapped potential. We have developed proprietary methodologies combining public data sets with locally driven insights to identify underserved populations and new business opportunities.

Facilitate internal engagement to identify needs and risks among your employees and offer ways to amplify their voices as your strongest ambassadors. These efforts will contribute to building stronger teams, improving retention, and ensuring stronger organizational flows. 

Take advantage of small group and one-on-one active listening sessions with key influencers and organizations to identify roadblocks and pain points, which, if left unmitigated, can lead to lost revenue opportunities and increased cost of doing business. These discussions will provide you with first-hand knowledge of community-relevant data, help identify new partnership opportunities, and build trust.

Rely on Ichor to help you monitor issues related to financial inclusion in underserved communities. As new challenges arise, we will provide recommendations for the best course of action, as well as tactical support on communications and engagement with key regional and local stakeholders.

Flag unique pain points that impact outcomes in your key markets to help you visualize which actionable initiatives and partnerships can address the most salient risk factors and create an “early warning signal” for potential pushback of your corporate priorities.   

Identify, prioritize, and position your organization to capitalize on partnership opportunities that align with your growth objectives in key markets and create groundswell support for your most important initiatives. 

Track fast-moving local, state, and federal legislative developments on policy issues of interest, and refine your position on relevant issues by engaging constituencies and leaders with diverse ideologies for input.

Get access to analyses of potential political, activist, and community risks, as well as recommendations and tactical support for addressing them head-on, and then pre-empt challenges through data, research, and local stress testing with the help of Ichor’s on-the-ground advisors and stakeholders. 

Ensure your intended narrative is landing externally with those you need to reach – elected officials, activists, community groups, national organizations, and the media. Ichor will identify gaps in your communication strategy and advise on how to position your messaging so that it addresses sensitivities learned through our data, research, and engagement work.
