Tennessee Department of Agriculture
Since June 2023, Paro has assisted multiple lumber companies access grant funding from the Tenneessee Department of Agriculture--as well as other sources--to expand their business operations, production capacity, and net margins.
Our assistance has included business and financial strategic planning, grant writing, and compliance/grant administration. To date, we have facilitated $5+ million for these companies with an additional $2MM in grant applications currently under review for approval.
Through this process, these clients have purchased energy efficient equipment, implemented process automation, and reduced employee physical impacts. The lumber companies participating in this program will experience an expected 200-400% increase in production by summer of 2025.
Aligning Culture and Strategy Post-Acquisition
Context: Following two acquisitions, a company needed to unify leadership teams and cultures while maintaining operational momentum.
Paro's Approach: We conducted leadership interviews and pulse assessments to identify cultural friction points. Working with the client, we facilitated leadership processes to create a shared vision and integration roadmap. The client's leaders built a communication plan to foster transparency and trust during the transition.
Impact: Paro helped create leadership alignment around vision and priorities strengthened. The implemented cultural integration efforts reduced early-stage resistance and improved collaboration. Working with the client over an established period of time, we were able to secure leadership retention during the first year of transition.
