Case Studies : What We Have Done!

THE CHALLENGE

CCK Strategies, a top-tier accounting and consulting firm, was experiencing growing pains across leadership and operations.​

• Executives lacked structured systems for aligning personal performance with firm metrics

• Leaders were stretched thin—especially working parents like Kyna

• Mid-level leaders were under-leveraged due to a lack of visibility into firm-wide initiatives

 

“Honestly I was at the end of my rope. If this didn’t work, I didn’t know what I’d do.” – Kyna Leyva
 

“We knew our people were good—but we weren’t aligned.” – Jeff Frable

 

“I was skeptical at first, but what we were doing wasn’t working.” – Jim Hicks
