Most community banks have a growth plan. Fewer have the people system to deliver it. The Performance Ignitor™ is a fixed-scope culture and hiring program that shows you where your culture and people stand, strengthens how you select talent, and puts your committed leaders where top-5% habits are built.

“We were a disaster. People didn’t even want to work and would quit, saying it was toxic. Then we attained the second-highest culture score in the country. We were making 2.0 ROA when we joined. We went from 2 to over 4. People are excited to come to work, win, get customers, and serve the community—and it all goes to the bottom line.”
“When we started with The Emmerich Group, our culture score was in the 4s. Now we’re at 6.35 out of 7, which is phenomenal! When we keep our standards where they are and hold our values true, our culture score stays right where it needs to be.”
“When we started with The Emmerich Group, one of the primary purposes was to improve what was a good culture into a fantastic culture. Our culture scores over a 10-year period have been consistently between 6.09 and 6.24 every year!”
The Performance Ignitor™ stands on its own. It is separate from the Elite Performance Accelerator™, our application-only flagship for long-term coaching and implementation.
