Case Study

Right person, right seat makes a difference.

A family-owned HVAC contractor and mechanical construction firm, generating $150M in revenue, encountered stagnation and lackluster performance within a $30M business unit.

Despite using EOS®, the absence of effective leadership in the Integrator role hindered their progress. To address this, their Implementor—Mark O’Donnell—enlisted GCE Strategic Consulting to fill the Fractional Integrator seat, aiming to inject the necessary drive and accountability for transformation.

What People Say

  • “Late last summer I had a client that was struggling to break through the barrier and speaking with the Visionary we realized it was particularly tied to the current Integrator. I reached out to the EOS® community and was recommended to speak with GCE Strategic Consulting. After connecting with them I introduced them to my client who hired GCE. I found their approach and proven process to drive results was rock solid. They were quickly able to come in and both identify the problem areas and course correct yielding results that were shockingly immediate. Since then I have introduced them to several other clients and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to take things to the next level. As Gino has said very valuable resources to have in the EOS® Community!”

    MARK O’DONNELL VISIONARY AT EOS® WORLDWIDE AND CERTIFIED EOS® IMPLEMENTER AT OPTIMIZE FOR GROWTH

  • "I hired GCE to come in and literally help us start a company from scratch due to my strong commitment to EOS® and GCE Strategic Consulting’s reputation in the business community. Our product launch targets Visionaries and Integrators to help them form healthier, more productive relationships. During the process, GCE helped us fill out our leadership team, set up our basic business structure along with our advisory board, and use this proven system to gain traction while remaining healthy. I interviewed almost every integrator on the list, I encourage anyone in this system to reach out to GCE"

    WILLIAM ANFUSO, CO-FOUNDER, LUCIDLY

  • “GCE worked with our company in several roles, including coaching me on transparency as a manager and helping our Visionary with communication and leadership skills and helping us bring in the right people who GWC their role. They helped us execute better by enforcing the EOS® structure and process across the company. We are now setting revenue records, given the clarity, we have as a team and executing better than we ever have. GCE are experts in business, focused on EOS® clients, and they bring the right tools to the table to solve the real issues.”

    LEE TALLEY, DESIGNER/SALES MANAGER - OUTDOOR MAKEOVER

  • “Ken Paskins embodies that rare combination of sound strategic insight and consistent execution to turn the vision into a reality. Ken demonstrates that he knows it all gets done through the right people doing the right job using the right disciplines, processes and measures… and he knows how to bring that about in an organization in fairly short order. Finally Ken understands how to keep the organization pushing to outer edge of the productivity envelope by helping everyone involved “inspect what they expect” as he drives accountability through clear eyed leadership and management skill.”

    ERIC ALBERTSON, CERTIFIED EOS® IMPLEMENTER - BUSINESS GROWTH EXPERT

  • “An aspect of GCE's recruiting service that impressed me was their ability to successfully fulfill my company's staffing needs while being over 2,500 miles apart from our offices! This required the team to immediately capture the requirements for the positions, understand our culture and establish a regular communication flow during the searches. Their acumen for listening and consistent follow-through keep the searches both on-time AND under-budget!”

    FRAN RENGEL, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER - ENRICH MARKETING

  • “We have been working with GCE for nearly 2.5 years now in a variety of ways from Fractional Integrator, Recruiting, and Sales Support as well. We couldn’t be happier with GCE and I highly recommend them to anyone!”

    BOB SNYDER, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER & VISIONARY - BINSKY MECHANICAL

  • "I recently joined CSSI, who was using Ken Paskins for its Integrator position. Ken was functioning as a "bridge Integrator", acting as a partner between prior/future Integrator personnel. By sitting in the seat, Ken was able to provide me with transparent, unbiased observations on the company, people and culture. In turn, my ramp-up was faster, more productive as Ken transitioned responsibilities to me over several weeks. So, if you are at a crossroads with your Integrator or not yet ready for full-time, I would recommend GCE as an excellent bridge in getting there."

    CHRIS MILES, INTEGRATOR, CSSI

  • “What GCE is doing around Integrator Training, Integrator Recruiting is much needed in the business world. Keep up the great work.

    GINO WICKMAN, AUTHOR OF TRACTION AND FOUNDER OF EOS®

  • “The 6W analysis was very beneficial for our sales team in teaching them new approaches for addressing old problems. First, the full day of sharing ideas and challenging each other brought the team closer. Second, the team was challenged to find new solutions to lingering problems in the field, or at least have a different message to win back lost business based on faulty assumptions. Newer sales reps were able to learn product knowledge tips and best practices from the veterans. Using the 6W analysis gave the reps new talking points they are now implementing in the field.”

    BRAD MCCLOSKEY, PRESIDENT & CEO, UNIVERSITY COMPOUNDING PHARMACY

  • "Ken was able to help our organization set clear paths forward and focus on the important things. We worked on leading KPI’s and a solid organizational analysis which enabled our team to move to the next level. Thanks Ken!!"

    KATHLEEN SKAAR, FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CHRISTIAN LIBRARY INTERNATIONAL

  • “I am writing this as an EOS® Implementer who works with 20 clients whose businesses range in size from $1m - $60m. Ken gets things done and he does what he says he is going to do. Just as important, he helps other Executives and Senior Leaders ‘get’ their job, and helps them to stay accountable and on-track with the targets that they set. He is one of a rare breed of real Integrators who truly understands the role and his commitment and work ethic is second to none. His knowledge encompasses everything from strict adherence to EOS® Principles to just generally understanding and ‘getting’ how to build and lead strong leadership teams.

    ERIC CREWS, PRESIDENT & FOUNDER, COLLEGIATE ENTREPRENEURS, INC. AND THE CREWS COACHING GROUP, CERTIFIED EOS® IMPLEMENTER

  • "I can't express how invaluable our partnership with Mike Walrod and GCE Strategic Consulting has been for our company. As a growing startup, we needed strategic leadership and operational expertise, but hiring a full-time COO just wasn't feasible for us at the moment. That's when we turned to GCE Strategic Consulting for help. Their expertise, dedication, and commitment to our success has truly made a difference. Mike Walrod seamlessly integrated into our team and quickly grasped our business model and challenges. They're not just an external consultant; they're a vital part of our decision-making process.

  • "I have worked with several business coaches in the past, and I have had the best experience, by far, with Ken Paskins. Ken productively challenges me, which helps me grow in many areas. He is an amazing listener who provides helpful feedback while his knowledge of business and leadership remains unmatched. I am a CEO / Owner, and Partner of a fast-growing early-stage business, so surrounding myself with the right team is crucial to my business's success. Ken has been an asset to me in a variety of areas such as; leadership, driving accountability, handling sensitive employee issues, picking the right KPI's for the business, and even fine-tuning my listening skills. He has been instrumental in helping me leverage EOS® in my business, and we have seen our business really take off due to this. If you are an Integrator, Visionary, or curious about utilizing EOS®, I highly recommend you reach out to Ken."
