A Scaling Up Case Study
Paradigm Mechanical Corp, a construction company specializing in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing, faced challenges with project execution, accountability, and talent retention as it sought to scale. To address this, the company worked with the vendor Scaling Up and its certified coach to implement the Scaling Up platform and methodology.
The solution involved developing a clear growth vision and implementing the "Bragging Rights" gamification program to reward teams for high-performing projects. Scaling Up also guided the company in defining its Core Values, Brand Promise, and Purpose, improving team alignment and communication. Further, the vendor provided coaching through a key acquisition. As a result, Paradigm Mechanical grew from a three-person firm to 45 employees and $15 million in annual revenue, paying out $40,000 in performance bonuses and successfully integrating an acquired company without taking on bank debt.
