Doug Cooley

Michaud Cooley has always been known to be the best in the business so we want to continue with that and make it even better. What makes us good is not me, It’s not shareholders, it’s our staff, it’s our people. We need to provide them with the tools that make them successful.

Kerry Cooley Bruggemann

What have we done that’s great and what can we do to improve the things we’ve done before and make them better? Sometimes it’s not always easy, sometimes it takes change, which is hard on people.

Jody Trende

I’m just really proud of what this whole company has done. The ability to embrace change and see the future, and really dive into this idea of reinvesting and a bit of challenging everything that we do to see if we can do it a little bit better.

Erin Kern

The fact that, you know, the operations committee is taking the time to say “we care about you. We want you to do the best work that you can do,” makes people care more about the work that they’re doing and their clients and the company as a whole.

Jody Trende

We have a fantastic group of people and what I come out of this year, so proud of is the team that we have assembled.

Kerry Cooley Bruggemann

I personally love where the culture is heading because I see people of all ages getting on board with exciting things.

Erin Kern

I think it was like the best year in a long time, but partially I think that’s because we focused inward, we spent more time training and we spent more time learning how to do things better.

Robb Nordstrom

Usually depending on the details, Revit would load a model and just sit and spin. And then with the update, you’re not waiting every time you moved from view to view. Little things like that add up.

Mark Fauske

I think there’s a little bit more, uh, excitement. Employees are more adept to what’s going on with the project what’s going on in the company, then probably before.

Jody Trende

Folks can see what they’re scheduled to work on, what they should be working on, how many hours they have budgeted to work on that.

Robb Nordstrom

I feel like our PMs have tools at their fingertips where they can see that more current or up-to-date billing of where we’re at. So we’re a little more proactive now with these tools that we have.

Kerry Bruggemann

I’m really excited to bring clarity into 2020, bringing clarity to job roles, putting clarity to people’s responsibilities, bringing clarity to who, to bring something, to who to address.

Doug Cooley

I don’t want to be bigger for the sake of bigger. I want to be the best and I want to be profitable.

Kerry Cooley Bruggemann

These wonderful, enormous long-term clients. We want to continue that, but we also want to be able to get ourselves in a position to win some of these fun, more key projects in town.

Doug Cooley

In the past, we basically had two people doing this. That was the whole source of our marketing efforts. And now we have many more people to do that and so I think it’ll be very successful going forward.
