Frequently Asked Questions

What is the HAPPY Framework?

The HAPPY Framework is a Relationship Intelligence system for credit union leaders. It measures five dimensions of member relationships — Health, Assurance, Product, Potential, and Yield — to help credit unions predict attrition, deepen engagement, and grow member lifetime value.

Who is this book for?

It's written for credit union CEOs, CMOs, branch managers, and data teams who want to move beyond simple satisfaction surveys and NPS scores toward a more complete, predictive view of member relationships.

How is this different from NPS or member satisfaction surveys?

NPS tells you how a member feels today. The HAPPY Framework measures behavioral signals — product usage, transaction patterns, financial health — to predict how a member will act tomorrow. It turns relationship data into a strategic asset.

Where can I buy the book?

The HAPPY Framework is available on Amazon. You can also read a free sample chapter before purchasing.
