The Shift
Scott estimates the business has gone from executing at 10-20 miles an hour to 30-40 miles an hour, with a clear path toward the 60 mile an hour pace he originally set out to reach.
For a small company, having someone operating in what Scott describes as close to a “number two seat” from a strategic standpoint has meant better alignment across the team and a faster rate of completing key priorities, even without a dramatic shift in revenue numbers to point to yet.
Asked for the single biggest thing he walked away with, Scott’s answer was integration: finally having someone who could own strategic projects at a high level, freeing him to stay focused on vision and architecture.
Looking Ahead
Scott has already extended the engagement, signing on for another 12 months. Looking forward, his focus is on continuing progress against his current priorities, primarily AI, marketing and growth initiatives, while completing new projects as they come up.
He believes the model is best suited for similarly sized businesses that already have solid structure in place and don’t need someone managing their people, but do want to move faster on implementing key projects. What Scott initially expected to be a hurdle with the three-hour time difference turned out to be no issue at all. Tranquillo’s rapid responses helped accelerate project momentum, and starting with a three-month agreement made it seamless to then transition to a full year engagement.
In His Words
“Before, I was making good progress, a successful, profitable business, but I had this nagging feeling. I was only executing at 10 to 20 miles an hour, and the number of good ideas far outpaced our capacity. Now, with Tranquillo as our operations accelerator, we’ve over doubled our pace of implementing key projects without me having to manage and own all of them. I could still be the visionary and the architect.”
