Boreal Laser’s Path to Improved Decision-Making and Accelerated Growth

Founded in 1990, Boreal Laser specializes in precision gas sensing technology. As the company expanded, improving team dynamics and alignment became a priority. Boreal Laser joined the Growth Catalyst program to strengthen internal communication, enhance accountability, and unify team efforts.

Challenges prior to Growth Catalyst:

• Communication Barriers: Opportunities existed to streamline internal communication for more efficient decision-making.
• Values Misalignment: There was a need to better integrate the company’s core values into daily operations to ensure a consistent direction.
• Limited Accountability: Enhancing the processes for goal-setting and accountability was essential for driving progress.

Growth Catalyst outcomes:

• Improved Communication: The program introduced effective communication channels, leading to more decisive and agile team interactions.

The biggest outcome is that the program opened up our communication lines and helped us set the time aside to all work together, act quickly, make changes, and be held accountable to do the things we said we would do.”

—Randy Brown, CEO, Boreal Laser

• Stronger Team Cohesion: Gained a clearer understanding of their core values, resulting in a stronger team bond and consistent value application throughout the organization.

‍“We’ve come closer together as a team. We meet once a week as part of the program, and we’re going to continue to do that. We’ve really gotten a better understanding of what values are most important to us. We’re trying to live by those values, and have the rest of the organization live by those values as well.” —Cameron Roth, Technical Specialist, Boreal Laser

• Enhanced Focus and Agility: Improved alignment allowed the team to concentrate on long-term goals and make unified decisions.

“I’m really happy with the changes we were able to implement and the direction we’re taking the company from here. More agile and definitive decisions are being made, better communication throughout the company, and just less segmented, more unified direction.”

—Luke Degenhardt, Technical Specialist, Boreal Laser

• Accelerated Progress: Fostered collaboration and accountability, enabling Boreal Laser to achieve significant progress in a short period, surpassing their previous year’s performance.

“Working together and making quick decisions and actually holding each other accountable and working towards things. We got a lot more done in the last four or five months than we did the previous year.”

—Randy Brown, CEO, Boreal Laser
