the opportunity
A large apparel company had a new, energetic CEO at the helm. For many decades, the former CEO had operated under a command and control model, whereas the new CEO wanted to empower the leadership team to design and adapt to the future together.

“Mess Hill is outstanding. They helped bring a diverse team, who had not worked together before, together to create a strategy for a new business venture.
The workflow and process they used was seamless, highly effective, and fun. We moved from many opinions to one, aligned strategy and identified the key first steps to execute on that strategy.
We are very satisfied with the outcome!”
