EOS Implementers vs. Integrators: What’s the real difference? They sound alike but we play VERY different roles, trust me 😉 👇 Integrators – Think "INside." These leaders are embedded in the company, often as the COO. They work closely with the Visionary to execute ideas and ensure every department aligns with that big-picture vision. 🔑 Implementers – Now, think "ENTER." I step into organizations as your external expert—coach, teacher, facilitator—helping your business adopt EOS and strengthen your leadership teams. To keep it short & simple: Integrator = Inside, making the machine run. Implementer = External, guiding the EOS process. Have questions? Send me a message!

At CoreLogic, Earth Day is serious business! As we reflect on our recent participation at AmeriCatalyst LLC - we had five CoreLogic experts share their insights at the conference, each lending a different level of expertise. I am proud of the strides we are making as a leading voice for climate risk data in the housing industry.   Our climate risk analytics tool provides hyper-localized risk ratings and financial loss potential. We run 300,000 scenarios per peril, per U.S. property up to the year 2050, based on different greenhouse emission scenarios. This provides both a risk rating and a financial impact, so the intent is once we can measure it, it is easier to analyze it and put in specific mitigation measures.   Our commitment to delivering to help prepare our clients for the effects of climate on property aligns perfectly with the Earth Day ethos of environmental stewardship. Stay tuned as we continue to further this important conversation both in the U.S. and globally.   #EarthDay #ClimateAction #CoreLogic

SA ends the year with the largest transaction in the history of the company! Schwartz Advisors Closes 2024 Advising JDC in its Recapitalization with Kinderhook Industries Schwartz Advisors (SA) served as the exclusive advisor to JDC (Jack Doheny Companies) in its successful acquisition by Kinderhook Industries. The transaction, which closed on December 31st, is the fifth completed by SA in a very active 2024.  Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Northville, MI, JDC is a leading provider of specialty equipment rental, sales, and service solutions for mission-critical applications within the electric transmission and distribution (“T&D”), sewer maintenance and inspection, and utility markets. The Company leases and sells a comprehensive suite of products including vacuum trucks, hydro-excavators, aerial boom trucks, sewer cleaning equipment, and other high-performance machinery to a diverse base of customers. The Company operates a network of 16 branch locations across the U.S. and Canada, utilizing its footprint to effectively provide ongoing support to its rental fleet of over 1,300 pieces of equipment. Founded in 2003, Kinderhook Industries, LLC is a private investment firm that has raised $8.5 billion of committed capital. Kinderhook has made in excess of 450 investments and follow-on acquisitions since inception. Kinderhook’s investment philosophy is predicated on matching differentiated, growth-oriented investment opportunities with financial expertise and its proprietary network of operating partners. Kinderhook’s focus is on middle market businesses with defensible niche market positioning in the healthcare services, environmental & industrial services, and automotive & light manufacturing sectors. “I want to thank the Schwartz Advisors team for their expert handling of this large and complex transaction,” said JDC CEO Steve Shafer. “We look forward to the next chapter with our new partners at Kinderhook.” “We thank Kay Doheny, Steve Shafer and the JDC team for trusting SA to get this deal across the finish line,” said SA CEO Rick Schwartz. “We are thrilled to have been able to match JDC up with an outstanding firm like Kinderhook to continue Jack Doheny’s legacy.” The transaction was led for SA by Managing Partners Mike Buzzard and Keith Zar, along with Vice President Arun Coumar.

Agent systems are redefining the starting point of business processes. By operating across multiple platforms and data sources, they're shifting the paradigm from "record first, act later" to "act now, record seamlessly." This approach allows businesses to initiate and complete tasks in real-time, tapping into the rich, dynamic ecosystem of information that exists outside traditional systems of record. It's not about reimagining workflows; it's about embedding intelligence directly into the fabric of daily operations, turning every interaction into an opportunity for insight and action. https://lnkd.in/gi4WSzTt
