A fast-scaling group, one strategy on a page, and an executive team that ran with it.

Case Studies

Hickory's executive team gave themselves two days with us. This is what came out of it.

The challenge

"We engaged Tenaxiti to help our executive team step back from the day-to-day and develop a clear strategic roadmap for the next 1, 3 and 5 years, all while keeping business-as-usual running smoothly."

Two demands pulling in opposite directions. Most executive teams resolve that tension by postponing the first one indefinitely.

The solution

Two focused days, against a clear scope: build an executable strategy and execution plan for a rapidly growing construction company.

"Over two focused days, we were able to map out quarterly objectives and put the right accountability structures in place to actually follow through."

The accountability structures are the part that usually gets skipped. They're also the reason a plan survives contact with a busy quarter.

The impact

"What surprised us most was how the process brought our leadership team together in a way we hadn't experienced before.

The activities built trust and created space for open conversations.

"Anthony and Shannon were exceptional; the way they engaged with our team and challenged us to move beyond our standard thinking into future-focused growth was something special to witness."

Michael Argyrou — Group CEO, Hickory

Strategy rarely fails in the planning. It fails in the follow-through and in the conversations a leadership team never quite gets around to having.

Thanks to Michael and the Hickory team for the trust.
