STRATEGIC PLANNING

You will never go back to your traditional strategic planning process — ever again

“Historically, the leadership team would spend months (plus two days together in person) struggling over a 50+ page annual strategic plan. Today, it’s a one-pager. And we’re now a working, functioning leadership team that is very engaged in the strategic direction we are following. We know what to focus on."

Barb Koopman

Senior Vice PresidentMetaBank

CROSS-SALES

Be the only bank your customer ever needs — take the words “trusted advisor” beyond lip service

“The Emmerich Group has changed our outlook on our employees, customers and developing relationships with our customers. We’ve doubled our cross sales, up to 5.6 cross-sales per customer now.”
