JOURNEY

**Prior to November 2015 **

---

Martin Engineering’s global organization was segmented into 18 individual business units and a corporate management team. Interaction, communication, and collaboration between business units was minimal or non-existent.

**November 2015 **

---

Martin Engineering underwent a structural reorganization that saw the dissolution of the corporate management group with the integration of personnel into a single, cohesive USA business unit. International business units were grouped into four global regions with full P&L responsibilities for each region. A new president and team of USA business group directors was promoted from within, providing the newly reconfigured organization fresh leadership and vision for a better future.

**March 2016**

---

The newly appointed president and team of USA directors gather together in an offsite meeting in Chicago to begin building the foundation of a new company culture that will shape and guide the trajectory of the business. The [SUCCESS](https://info.martin-eng.com/values?hsLang=en) document is established and introduced organization-wide as the cornerstone of the new culture that will be at the heart of every decision going forward.

**September 2016 **

---

As the new culture continues to take shape and infuse into daily life within the company, the decision was made to take the next step to develop a Why and How statement for the organization. A group of twenty-three employees spend two intense and emotional days developing the organization’s new [Why Statement](https://info.martin-eng.com/our-culture?hsLang=en) under the guidance of facilitators at Barry-Wehmiller. The group also establishes the [6 Hows](https://info.martin-eng.com/6-hows?hsLang=en), identifying the ways by which Martin teammates are able to achieve their best day and the notion that “Everybody Matters.”
