Sharing ideas. Collaborating. Reviewing KPI's. Discussing best practices.
Thought leadership. Impactful networking sessions. Lasting relationships.
Launched in early 2017, TMC's Collaboration Labs have provided significant value to our Lender Members. We like to think of them as professional networking done right, with intent and structure. With an end goal of having all participants return home from a Lab with very specific ideas, initiatives, and best practices that will enable them to better serve their customers and to operate their companies more efficiently and profitably.
The concept is simple - we form Lab groups consisting of the CEO's or key decision makers from 5-7 TMC Lender Member companies of similar size and scope, who do not directly compete with one another. One of the participants hosts the Collaboration Lab at their office. The Mortgage Collaborative team facilitates the execution of a mutual NDA, the collection of a set of defined benchmarking metrics and key performance indicators, and handles all of the planning and communication related to the Collaboration Lab and the agenda. Labs are one and a half days long:
With over a third of TMC lender members now participating in Collaboration Labs, it has quickly become one of the most valued benefits to membership. We had 20 TMC Lender Member companies participate in four different Collaboration Labs in the spring of 2017 and 36 Member companies participated in six Labs in November and December of 2017. The Collaboration Lab program continues to grow and we're anticipating around 50 companies participating in 8-9 different Labs in May-July of 2018!

Labs are one and a half days long:
- Day one (half day) begins with lunch, followed by an afternoon of the participants getting to know one another and their companies better, and concludes with a dinner reception that evening.
- Day two (full day) includes the group taking a deep dive inside each firms pre-submitted side-by-side operating metrics, discussion of business best practices, and talking through strategic initiatives important to each participating firm.
