VISION 20/20: SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
SMART GROWTH AND FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
In our concluding strategic plan
feature this year, we review the
two strategies – Smart Growth and
Financial Sustainability – which focus
on the collective operating efforts that
branch out to all our service lines,
operations and departments.
Profitable growth is important, as
it can translate to opportunities for
our employees. And, in order to
grow successfully, we must remain
financially strong while managing our
resources efficiently and appropriately,
as well as maintain our commitment
toward innovation, continuous
improvement and collaboration.
WHAT CAN WE ALL DO?
We all know that in order for any company to be successful, it must grow. Not only through new clients and
services, but through innovative business practices and efficiency gains. It is essential that we – as Davey
employees – keep continuous improvement at the forefront of our minds, as the next generation of growth
and innovation at Davey will come from within.
Please share with us your comments and ideas of innovation as well as examples of innovative business
practices used at your local office or within your department by emailing them to bulletin@davey.com.
INNOVATION
At Davey, we define innovation as producing better products and services
for our clients and creating shareholder value through efficiency and
continuous improvement.
Davey is committed to innovation and thought leadership in all aspects of
operations. We are relentless in our quest to develop concepts and solutions
to bring innovative products and services to our clients.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Many best business practices help reduce our environmental footprint, but
they also can reduce operating costs and expenses.
For instance, our advanced-GPS program helps reduce fuel usage and
emissions by decreasing unnecessary idling and eliminating unauthorized use
of equipment. We are also working to eliminate wood waste disposal through
sustainable recycling efforts.
COLLABORATION
Building stronger relationships with clients through service line collaboration
provides additional revenue and strengthens our brand.
Continued collaboration among service lines and departments is important
for sustained growth.
