As the 2024 Summer Olympics are fully under way, we reflect on our own Olympic-themed Fiegen Rally held this past March, our annual event to celebrate the success of the previous year and get excited as we anticipate all the opportunities ahead.
I’m reminded of a story about a world-class rower who competed in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. He described how a championship crew's success depends on each member focusing on the team's collective performance saying,
"You need to focus on the team around you and how they help you excel, just as you help them. When everyone performs in sync, like parts of a well-oiled machine, it unlocks the potential of the entire team. This is what propels the boat forward, even though the rowers are facing backwards.”
This approach to teamwork and synchronization is something we can all take to heart as we strive to achieve our goals, together.
Building on this philosophy of teamwork and collective success, we are thrilled to announce a major milestone at our company: the creation of our next five-year strategic plan. This comprehensive plan will guide us through future challenges and opportunities, ensuring that we remain aligned with our goals and continue to foster an environment of growth and excellence.
The development of this strategic plan was a collaborative effort, involving 11 dedicated team members from various divisions of the company, from administrative positions to field supervisors. Over the course of two intensive off-site retreats, this team worked together to develop actionable items and set ambitious goals, laying a solid foundation for our future endeavors.
To kick off the implementation of our new strategic plan, we hosted a Plan Rollout breakfast on July 1st, emphasizing the importance of communication in advancing our goals. Our vision statement encompasses our key areas of focus:
- People and Culture
- Process and Communication
- Growth and Generational Transition to a Professionally Managed Company
- Strategic Market Difference
- Trade Coverage
We are committed to nurturing young people and continually adding skilled and talented individuals to our team, fostering a culture of growth and innovation. Just as each rower contributes to the boat's forward momentum, every member of the Fiegen team plays a crucial role in our success. You can view the full plan here. Thank you for your continued support and dedication.
