What is Compass?
What is Compass?
Compass (formally OCBO) is a membership experience for the modern financial advisor who is seeking to elevate their practice by leveraging the power of behavioral science. Behavioral insight is powerful when it becomes practical. We help you translate research, concepts and mental models into action with measurable benefits. Compass equips advisors to ask different questions, have deeper conversations, bolster trust, and drive better outcomes. With Compass, the Shaping Wealth team will be supporting you at every step along the way.
