Case Study—Strategic Planning for Utah Engineering and Survey Firm

A Utah-based engineering and survey firm sought to realign its departmental structure to enhance its focus on marketing and business development. MARKETLINK stepped in as a strategic partner, guiding the company through a leadership transformation designed to optimize the roles of its department heads.

The primary objective was to shift the focus of these leaders from purely internal operations to outward-facing responsibilities like lead generation, client engagement, and strategic growth initiatives. MARKETLINK's approach centered on developing a comprehensive plan that emphasized goal tracking and effective execution, ensuring that all efforts aligned with the company's broader vision for expansion.

To support this transformation, MARKETLINK implemented monthly team meetings that focused on identifying the unique needs of each department while encouraging managers to concentrate on firm-wide objectives. This strategy empowered department heads to pivot their attention toward strategic initiatives, while day-to-day tasks were successfully delegated to their teams.

The strategic shift has permeated the entire organization, creating a company-wide marketing mentality. Department managers are now at the forefront of innovation and business development, driving the firm's expansion into new service areas and leading initiatives that have positioned the company as a leader in the industry.

Since the realignment, the firm has experienced significant growth, both in size and capabilities. By freeing up department leaders to focus on strategic planning and market opportunities, the company has expanded its service offerings to include advanced engineering solutions, enhanced survey technologies, and specialized consulting services. This growth has not only increased their market presence but also enabled the firm to diversify its client base and enter new markets across the region.
