Tectonus Case Study: Scaling operations for growth

Tectonus is an innovative New Zealand company specializing in advanced manufacturing and seismic solutions. After years of steady development and low project volume, they secured a pipeline of significant new orders, pushing growth beyond their current operational capacity.

Problem

Following years of innovation, development and low levels of projects, Tectonus secured future order opportunities that meant their growth was about to accelerate beyond their capability to deliver. Sprout was engaged to gain clarity of their current teams roles, responsibilities and capabilities. This process identified that to deliver on the commitments, they needed to hire for experience - a leader who had experience and skills in delivering at a much higher volume and complexity.

Solution

Through our networks of manufacturing and deep tech experts, we were able to identify a COO who could help them scale. We had to move fast while thinking long-term - taking care to find the right fit with the team and leaders. Tectonus now has a COO in place at a crucial time, ensuring they have the systems, structure and people in their operations and supply chain to deliver.

Impact

Tectonus now has the expertise to enable them to push through a challenging stage of growth, and to build their capability for the future.
