LAKE BLUFF, Ill., May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing that "conventional wisdom" is failing to deliver bottom-line results to depositories, Moebs $ervices is presenting MOEBSONOMICS: An Unorthodox View of the Financial Services Industry, December 10-13, 2007 in Palm Springs, CA. Directors, C-level executives, and managers of banks, credit unions, and savings institutions attending the executive symposium will be able to explore new ways to out-perform and out-serve the competition with Michael Moebs, one of the most insightful and out-of-the-box economists working in the industry today.

Just as economics is the science

of measuring data about incentives, behavior, and currency, MOEBSONOMICS represents Moebs' scientific collection and assessment of relevant, real-world information on financial institutions and the issues that affect their performance. Symposium sessions will examine how underlying -- and often overlooked -- data about financial services, business trends, consumer behavior, and the state of the economy can lead to critical, strategic opportunities. Moebs and his colleagues will reveal seven innovative success strategies and present tools and tactics for capitalizing on opportunities in any market or economic climate. Program highlights include:

-- The Economy of Scale -- how to measure and maintain optimum scale. -- Uncovering Emerging Patterns -- why traditional approaches are often wrong. -- Competitive Analysis -- understanding true market share and hidden competition. -- Making the Most of Human Capital -- using the people you have to get the performance you want. -- Expense Control and Incentives -- bottom-line benefits from an unlikely and powerful pair. -- Generating Fee Income -- first-ever comprehensive study of commercial and consumer service pricing. -- The Ideal Strategy -- tying it all together to accomplish critical business goals.

MOEBSONOMICS attendees will come away with new knowledge, sound principles, and original insights needed to make an immediate difference for their institutions and the markets they serve. Complete symposium description and registration information is available at http://www.moebs.com/, or by calling 800-237-3317 ext. 16.
