Growth drivers:
A plan and the right people to execute on it are hallmarks of Efficiency Experts. BCCI leaders prioritize time each fiscal year to dive deep into their strategic roadmap, including rolling three-year strategic business plans, annual operating budgets for core and emerging markets, quarterly business reviews and regular reporting dialed into performance results and marketplace recalibration, said BCCI Chief Strategy Officer John Kranz. A key hallmark of Efficiency Experts is a strong emphasis on developing staff, a major priority at BCCI. Investing in talent acquisition and identifying employee potential and growth helps ensure clarity and alignment of its strategic plans across all business divisions and employees. Embracing lessons learned and continuous improvement across all services has also driven growth, Kranz said.

…At a news conference outside Haven Smith’s home in Mountain View Friday, Coastal Kids announced construction company BCCI Builders has donated 50 N-95 masks to the non-profit for staff and patients.
