Hear from our clients:
Building shared language, streamlined communications, and cross-functional collaboration.
“We couldn’t have done this without BLUECASE.”
Chris Dillie, former CEO, ESO
Breaking down silos, building trust, ensuring seamless cultural integration.
“The BLUECASE training led to better cross-functional collaboration and really set us up for success because our employees and our managers were better able to address the challenges that they were seeing.”
Matt Murphy, former CEO, Logix
Aligning company-wide to move faster & make better decisions.
“For us, the results of having BLUECASE come onboard is that we actually are moving faster, we’re making decisions better, we’re more aligned on our goals, which makes work more fun. When you come to work everyday and you know exactly what you are trying to accomplish, you know exactly where you are trying to go, it makes a difference.”
Amy Porter, Founder (and former CEO and Chairman of the Board), AffiniPay
“We view BLUECASE as a part of our executive and management team.”
“Whether I’m going to have a $500 million dollar company or a $3 billion dollar company in ten years, it’s kind of hard to put a value on that. I don’t think we’d get there without the kind of planning we’re doing today. We’re more than happy to say that BLUECASE is our partner in doing that planning and development.”
Craig Kasten, Co-Founder & Chairman of the Board, SKYGEN USA

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH BLUECASE:
Ready to celebrate big wins?
This could be you:
We worked with a PE-backed company whose culture struggled post-M&A with silos, disengagement, low morale, poor cross-functional communication, and executive team misalignment. Their eNPS score jumped 40 points in 9 months. Their CEO said, “we were broken, and you fixed us.”
In 2013, we started working with a struggling $10M company that today is a global company worth $1.3 billion dollars and seen as the star in one of the largest technology funds in their PE-backer’s portfolio.
Three years after we began working with them, a financial services company client sold for nine times its revenue—one of the largest exits in Austin, Texas the year it sold.
A fintech company acquired a company that doubled their size, expanding their company from one office location to multiple across the U.S. BLUECASE supported their leadership and cultural integration and their Private Equity firm said the acquisition was the smoothest they had ever seen.
