The Starting Point
After one of my business partners moved on around the onset of the COVID-19 shutdowns, I was referred to Wolf’s Edge Integrators by multiple acquaintances. The Fractional Integrator we retained through them came in and right out of the gate, built a rapport with the team, ran our weekly L10 and Same Page meetings, and helped keep the team accountable. Because he was on our team, we were able to keep moving forward and gained tremendous traction.
— Nathan Shea, Founder & CEO of SecureStrux
Growth outpacing structure. Demand was rising in a hot market, but SecureStrux’s leadership structure hadn’t scaled with it. As the company pushed to grow, priorities and accountability slipped out of alignment. When the Integrator left, no one was holding the business together at the level the next stage required.
The Approach
Ben Wolf, SecureStrux's Fractional Integrator, ran the weekly L10 and Same Page meetings from his first day. Meetings started on time, followed the agenda and stayed on the issues.
Leaders reported on rocks, measurables and to-dos weekly. Issues that had simmered for months went to IDS and stayed there until solved.
Wolf's Edge led the search for a full-time President/Integrator: 7 to 8 candidates, hired in about 4 months. That leader stayed nearly 3 years.

Some Feedback from the EOS Implementer®
“Wolf’s Edge Integrators provided one of my local EOS® clients with an interim Fractional Integrator who made a huge positive impact in the six months he was there. He led the weekly leadership team Level 10 meetings and helped the Visionary identify and on-board a full time Integrator. The leadership team and the business gained major traction over the past year and he was a major contributor to their success.”
