Operational Excellence (OE) Management Peer Groups
Leaders responsible for operational excellence are shaping how the business executes driving consistency, accountability, and performance as the organization grows.
Build Operational Excellence That Drives Performance and Scale
Operational Excellence leaders in system integration firms help transform growth into consistent execution. As organizations expand across offices, markets, and acquisitions, they are responsible for creating the processes, governance, metrics, and operating disciplines that improve project delivery, increase profitability, and enable the business to scale without losing agility.
The Exotek Operational Excellence Peer Group brings together leaders responsible for improving how system integration companies operate.

- Heads of Operational Excellence
- Directors and Vice Presidents of Operational Excellence
- Quality, Business Process, and Continuous Improvement leaders
- CSIA Best Practices, ISO, PMO, and Operational Performance leaders
- Senior leaders responsible for execution, governance, and organizational effectiveness
What you will discuss:

- Building scalable business processes across engineering, project management, and service
- Operational metrics, KPIs, dashboards, and performance management
- Continuous improvement, Lean, CSIA Best Practices, and quality systems
- Process governance, accountability, and cross-functional alignment
- Integrating acquisitions and supporting organizational growth through consistent operating practices
Why leaders join:
- Compare how peers are improving project execution and organizational consistency.
- Learn practical approaches for scaling operations while maintaining flexibility and accountability.
- Discuss the challenges of implementing process improvements across engineering, operations, and project delivery.
- Gain ideas that strengthen execution, improve profitability, and support sustainable growth.

Interstates has been involved in peer groups for many years and if you are not currently a part of one I can personally vouch for how much value they will bring to your organization! We also have been using the Traction model in our organization for a few years and have found it to be very effective at helping our leader team focus on the right things and get things into execution. Thanks Exotek for offering this value to our CSIA organization!
Frank B. Riordan
President
I have been a member of an Exotek Peer Group since the start of 2014. Our group consists of 8 executives from a diverse set of companies and our meetings. The value from the group has been significant – in the time I’ve been a member, my company has more than tripled in size and has gone from two offices to eight. Having a sounding board of peers who understand my business has been invaluable. I would highly recommend an Exotek Peer Group for anyone looking to improve & grow their business.
PC Romano
President
I have been a member of an Exotek-led CEO peer group for many years, and have found tremendous value in it. We also have several of our people in some of the other functional peer groups. One great side benefit has been the relationships that have grown between the peer group companies, which in turn leads to collaboration on client projects. We’ve shared resources with most of the companies in our group, and I’d strongly encourage other CSIA companies to consider participating in facilitator-led peer groups.
David Blaida
P.E., CEO/President
Matrix Technologies has been part of a peer group for several years. As one of the shorter tenure leaders within the group, I have found great value in discussing the experiences, knowledge and forethought brought by the other executives. The key to the success of the group is the willingness to share and to help each other, all for the betterment of our industry. If you come to the group with the right mindset, it will certainly help you grow as a leader and as a company.
Ken O'Malley
PE, CFSE, President
We are a new member company to the peer group having joined a year ago. I have been impressed with the high-value sharing of ideas from knowledgeable and successful people with direct experience in our industry. It seems like we’re all focused on overcoming the same challenges, so the discussions are directly and immediately applicable to our business. If you get a chance to join one of these groups, I would highly recommend it.
Dave Patterson
Owner
Grantek has been extremely fortunate to be associated with an Exotek led peer group. Exotek facilitates this group of 9 CEO’s. Exotek’s industry knowledge and business experience has proven valuable as the group discusses various business challenges and exciting new opportunities. If you and your company are open to sharing your experiences and want to gain insight from a group of like-minded executives, these peer groups are for you. I have been involved with various peer groups over my business career and I can clearly state that the Exotek led group is by far my best experience.
Darren Jones
Integrator
Thanks for running another great meeting. You’re a master at corralling topics and keeping conversations relevant and moving forward while engaging all attendees. I must say that it has been a breath of fresh air to have dialog and insight both with you and the peer group members.
