Navigating the Daily Grind: A Case Study on Transforming an Engineering Firm

Struggling to See Results Despite Hard Work? You’re Not Alone.

Ever feel like you’re working tirelessly but have little to show for it? Many leaders share this frustration. Here's why and how we fixed it.

Research shows that employees often don’t understand their goals, lack commitment, and aren’t held accountable. On top of this, issues like broken trust, misaligned compensation, poor development processes, and flawed decision-making compound the problem.

Let me share how we helped an engineering firm with 52 employees transform their situation with our Compass: Half-Day Business Diagnostic (https://www.angelasedran.com/compass ).

The Challenges

When I first met with this engineering firm, they were struggling with:

• Inefficiencies: Project deadlines were slipping, and workflows were clogged with bottlenecks.
• Team Misalignment and High Turnover: Talented engineers were in roles that didn’t match their strengths, leading to frustration, lower productivity and poor staff retention.
• Lack of Clarity and Commitment: Employees were unclear about their goals and not fully committed to the team's objectives.
• Poor Accountability: There was a significant lack of accountability, with many employees unsure of how to achieve their targets.
• Disconnection from Core Values: The firm's core values weren't being lived out, resulting in trust issues and poor communication.

The Transformation

We conducted our Compass: Half-Day Business Diagnostic and addressed these issues head-on:

• Streamlined Processes: Identified and eliminated workflow bottlenecks, reducing project completion times by nearly 20%.
• Right People in Right Roles: Reassigned roles to align with each engineer's strengths, boosting job satisfaction and productivity.
• Enhanced Clarity and Commitment: Clearly defined goals and improved communication, ensuring everyone was on the same page and passionate about their objectives.
• Increased Accountability: Established a robust accountability framework, ensuring everyone knew their responsibilities and how to achieve them.
• Realigned Core Values: Reinforced the firm's core values, restoring trust and fostering a more cohesive team environment.

Within weeks, the engineering firm saw performance improvements, especially in the way their team were performing.
