Building A Better Integration Company

Get Help With CSIA Best Practices

Exotek collaborated with Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) to found and develop the CSIA Best Practices and the certification/auditing program. We continue to contribute to the program’s development as a core member of the CSIA’s Best Practices Committee and the CSIA’s Certification Management System Committee. We have brought our experience to help hundreds of CSIA members around the world as they prepare for and obtain their CSIA certification.

Join a Peer Group

Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen tremendous growth in our peer groups with over 100 participants from dozens of companies across a variety of role-based groups. With the challenges of recruiting and retaining talent, our clients see our peer groups as a way of demonstrating their commitment to investing in the professional development of their key leaders. So, let us know who in your organization would most benefit from the opportunity to learn from their peers. And, we can follow up with additional information, answer any questions, and explore which group would best fit.

To Certify or Not to Certify

As Hamlet says, “That is the question. Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the questions and proddings of an outrageous auditor ….” In this webinar, we will discuss the benefits of benchmarking your practices against the CSIA standard as well as address some of the common reasons cited for not doing it.

Presenters: Jack Barber and Brian Mullen

Intake to Your Strategic Planning

As we head into the fall, many of our clients begin another cycle of their annual strategic planning process. In this session, we will discuss different information sources and methods that can provide input into your strategic process. What internal information should be gathered? What external factors should be considered? And what are common tools and methods to process that information to develop further insights that can influence your strategic thinking? We’ll also offer our perspective on new dimensions that should be considered.

CSIA Best Practices Deployment

Exotek is assisting our CSIA community with the implementation of best practices to get your company to the next level.  Whether you have just joined or been a member for a while, but recognize that you still have a ways to go, the CSIA Best Practices and Benchmark guide can be overwhelming. Where do you start? What’s the most effective way to attack it?
