Strategy sets the direction. People determine success.
That’s exactly why Volksbank’s Town Hall was so much more than a traditional employee event.
It was the moment when a strategic decision became a shared understanding.
One day.
The Schwarzwaldhalle.
Employees from across the region.
A shared vision for 2030.
Four years of growing together have laid a strong foundation.
Now the next chapter begins: The No. 1 digital regional bank.
Not as a vision. But as a shared mission.
Volksbank pur’s answer is clear: consistently digitize standard processes to create more space for what makes a regional bank unique—personal advice, trust, and genuine customer focus.
Clarity emerges when people understand what the strategy means for their own day-to-day work. And when progress becomes visible.
That’s why clear priorities and measurable goals were defined from the very beginning—not as a tool for control, but as a shared compass for the next steps.
Because change requires not just a goal, but guidance along the way.
That was precisely the purpose of this town hall.
Many thanks to Volksbank pur for the trust placed in us to develop and execute this important step in our shared strategy and change journey.

People shape progress.
Great experiences don’t happen by chance.
They happen where strategy meets execution.
Where ideas become processes.
And complexity becomes clarity.
Mercedes-Benz Dealer Engagement: Personal, International, Connecting.
International collaboration begins when people engage in conversation with one another—when experiences are shared, new perspectives are opened up, and individual contacts grow into genuine connections.
Strategies rarely fail because of their quality. They fail because people do not know what they mean for their own specific roles. That is why the Volksbank leadership conference was far more than a standard management event. The guiding question: How does Volksbank pur become the “No. 1 digital regional bank”?
