National Audio-Visual Integrator serving commercial markets 

Problem / Situation

The company had grown to a substantial size through acquisition, and needed to address a number of significant issues in trying to create a unified organization.  The goal was to evolve several fragmented cultures into one, unified culture, where all employees felt like an integral part of the overall organization.

Y&CO. SOLUTION / IMPLEMENTATION

Yastrow & Co. conducted workshops at all of the company’s 17 offices, involving all company employees. This led to the creation of a set of company habits, and a related program to develop and introduce a unified culture to the entire company.

RESULTS

These initiatives ensure consistent cross-corporate communication and increased revenue. In 2018, the company reported record profits that represented an increase in profitability of more than 25% in the period it took to implement the program company-wide.

Today, the company “offers the largest global footprint for audiovisual and unified collaboration technology.” It’s over 700 employees now complete more than 3,500 projects each year, and the company is now 100% employee-owned.
