CASE STUDIES

MD Ally: How Purpose Alignment Enabled $15M Series A Funding

911 Network Navigation - Transforming Emergency Response Through Purpose-Driven Technolog

The Challenge: When Technology Innovation Loses Sight of System Impact

MD Ally, a 6-year-old 911-integrated telehealth company, faced a critical inflection point that many healthcare technology startups encounter. Despite having innovative technology for connecting 911 dispatchers and first responders with virtual care resources, misaligned development priorities were threatening the core system stability needed to serve public safety partners effectively.

The Real Problem: MD Ally's mission to transform 911 response by connecting non-emergency callers to appropriate virtual care was being undermined by technology decisions that prioritized feature development over the reliability and compliance standards that public safety agencies require. Without rock-solid system performance, their partnerships with counties like Lee County (handling 90,000+ incidents annually) would be impossible.

The Purpose Discovery Process: Understanding the True 911 Ecosystem Need

Using our Corporate Ikigai methodology, we conducted an intensive purpose discovery process with MD Ally's leadership team to understand their role in revolutionizing emergency response:

What They Love: Enabling public safety agencies to expand their scope of services beyond traditional emergency response to include virtual care coordination and community resource navigation

What They Do Well: 911-integrated technology that seamlessly connects dispatchers and first responders to telehealth, social services, and in-network resources without disrupting existing workflows

What They're Paid For: Partnership solutions that help public safety agencies optimize resources while improving patient outcomes—reducing unnecessary ambulance transports and emergency department visits for non-emergent 911 calls

What the World Needs: A new tier of 911 response that connects the right people to the right care at the right time, reducing the $31.5B in excess costs from inappropriate emergency resource utilization

Purpose Statement Discovered: "To enable a new 911 digital health ecosystem that gets patients to the right care, at the right time, and in the right place—transforming how communities respond to health and social needs."

The Four-Dimension Transformation Process

Strategic Dimension (Direction): Realigned development priorities around system reliability, integration capabilities, and compliance standards rather than flashy telehealth features. Every technology decision had to answer: "Does this strengthen our ability to seamlessly integrate with existing 911 infrastructure and workflows?"

Operational Dimension (Execution): Implemented rigorous SOC 2 compliance processes and quality standards that enable consistent, reliable operation within critical public safety infrastructure. Built knowledge management systems that preserved insights about what makes technology trustworthy for emergency services—where system failures can have life-or-death consequences.

Cultural Dimension (People): Shifted the entire organization from a "healthcare technology" mindset to a "public safety partner" mindset. The development team learned to see their work through the lens of 911 dispatchers and EMS coordinators who need technology that works flawlessly under pressure. Every team member understood they weren't just building healthcare software—they were becoming part of the 911 ecosystem.

Market Dimension (Impact): Repositioned MD Ally not as a telehealth company, but as a 911 network navigation solution that expands what public safety can offer their communities. Built partnerships based on MD Ally's commitment to working within existing infrastructure, minimizing disruption, and proving value through measurable outcomes like reduced ambulance costs and improved patient satisfaction.

Purpose-Driven Technology Outcomes

Immediate Results:

- Zero production failures during critical 911 operations—because first responders depend on system reliability

- Two flawless SOC 2 audits, compliance became a natural expression of their commitment to public safety standards

- Seamless integration capabilities, technology designed to work within existing Emergency Medical Dispatch protocols and workflows

- Cultural transformation, every team member understood how their work supported the broader 911 ecosystem

Strategic Business Impact:

- $15M Series A funding enabled, investors saw technology strategy perfectly aligned with the massive market need for 911 optimization

- Successful partnerships with major counties, Lee County (90,000+ incidents annually), Tuscon, AZ (~76,000 EMS calls annually), and Phoenix, AZ (~198,495 EMS calls annually)

- Sustainable competitive advantage, purpose-driven focus on 911 integration created technology that traditional telehealth companies couldn't replicate

Real World Impact:

- Cost savings for communities, substantial reductions in unnecessary ambulance transports and emergency department visits

- Improved patient outcomes, connecting non-emergent callers to appropriate virtual care, social services, and community resources

- Enhanced public safety efficiency, freeing up emergency resources to focus on true emergencies while expanding the scope of services agencies can provide

The Purpose-Alignment Difference

Before our engagement, MD Ally was a telehealth company trying to work with 911 systems. After purpose alignment, they became a 911 ecosystem partner with technology designed specifically to enhance emergency response capabilities. The $15M Series A wasn't just about having better software—it was about demonstrating that every technology decision flowed from their commitment to strengthening the 911 system's ability to serve community health needs.

Key Insight: When technology strategy aligns with the true ecosystem purpose—in this case, transforming how 911 serves community health—reliability becomes essential, integration becomes seamless, and funding becomes the natural result of demonstrated mission-market fit within a $31.5B problem space.

Carrier Corp: How Purpose Alignment Enabled Seamless Corporate Separation

Creating Solutions That Matter - Technology Transformation Under Ultimate Pressure

The Challenge: When Corporate Identity Must Be Rebuilt From Scratch

Carrier Corporation, a $20.4 billion global leader in HVAC, refrigeration, and building automation technologies, faced an unprecedented challenge in 2020: complete separation from United Technologies Corp (UTC) after 41 years as a subsidiary. This wasn't just a business reorganization—it required rebuilding their entire digital identity, all customer-facing systems, and market presence within an impossibly tight 8-month deadline.

The Real Problem: Carrier needed to transform from a division of a conglomerate into an independent global corporation while maintaining uninterrupted service to customers in 160 countries. Every system, website, document, and digital touchpoint had to be rebuilt or rebranded without losing a single customer relationship or missing a single day of operations.

The Purpose Discovery Process: Rediscovering Carrier's Independent Mission

Using our Corporate Ikigai methodology, we worked with Carrier's leadership to discover their purpose as an independent entity, separate from the UTC umbrella:

What They Love: Creating innovative climate and energy solutions that fundamentally improve how people live, work, and play—carrying forward Willis Carrier's 1902 legacy of solving unique customer challenges

What They Do Well: Designing, manufacturing, and supporting intelligent climate control systems, from residential HVAC to commercial refrigeration to cold chain logistics—backed by over a century of engineering expertise

What They're Paid For: Comprehensive lifecycle solutions that deliver energy efficiency, sustainability, and operational excellence across homes, buildings, and cold chain operations globally

What the World Needs: Solutions that create healthy, comfortable, productive environments while addressing the urgent need for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in a warming world

Purpose Statement Discovered: "To create solutions that matter for people and our planet—enhancing the lives we live and the world we share."

This purpose became the North Star that guided every technology decision during the separation process.

The Four-Dimension Transformation Process

Strategic Dimension (Direction): Realigned all technology initiatives around Carrier's independent purpose rather than UTC's diversified portfolio approach. Every system rebuild had to answer: "How does this technology enable us to create solutions that matter for people and our planet?" This purpose-driven filter helped prioritize which systems to rebuild first and how to architect them for Carrier's sustainable future.

Operational Dimension (Execution): Implemented purpose-driven project management processes that connected every technical deliverable to Carrier's mission of enhancing lives and protecting the planet. Built knowledge management systems that preserved not just technical specifications, but the customer-impact reasoning behind every design decision.

Cultural Dimension (People): Transformed teams from "UTC division employees" to "Carrier mission-driven professionals." Every developer, project manager, and vendor understood they weren't just rebranding systems—they were building the technological foundation for a company committed to solving climate challenges and improving human comfort worldwide.

Market Dimension (Impact): Rebuilt all customer-facing systems and brand presence to authentically reflect Carrier's purpose-driven identity. Rather than generic corporate websites, created digital experiences that showcased how Carrier's solutions create healthier homes, smarter buildings, and more sustainable cold chains.

Purpose-Driven Technology Outcomes

Mission-Critical Execution:

- 100% on-time delivery across 8-month timeline, because purpose clarity enabled focused decision-making under pressure

- 440+ SAP and in-house applications successfully rebranded and rebuilt

- 1,562 documents transformed from UTC references to Carrier identity

- Zero customer disruption during the transition—purpose-driven design prioritized customer experience

Strategic Business Impact:

- Cultural transformation from division mindset to mission-driven corporation

The Purpose-Alignment Difference

Before our engagement, Carrier was executing a complex technical separation project. After purpose alignment, they were building the technological foundation for a company with a clear mission to enhance lives and protect the planet. The successful 8-month transformation wasn't just about technical excellence—it was about ensuring every system, process, and digital touchpoint authentically reflected Carrier's commitment to creating solutions that matter.

Key Insight: When technology transformation aligns with organizational purpose—in this case, creating climate solutions that enhance lives and protect the planet—complex technical decisions become clear, team motivation increases, and execution accelerates because everyone understands how their work serves a mission larger than profit.

Current Impact: Today, Carrier continues to live this purpose through innovations like their "For the World We Share" commitment, healthy building solutions, intelligent cold chain technologies, and sustainable HVAC systems that serve 1.5 million customers globally across 160 countries.

Georgia-Pacific: How Purpose Alignment Saved an IT Department from Elimination

Georgia-Pacific Corporation, one of the world's leading manufacturers of tissue, pulp, packaging and building products with operations across more than 30 states, faced a critical crisis in the mid-1990s. The Information Resources (IR) department was on the verge of complete shutdown due to chronic delivery failures, fundamental misalignment with business needs, and complete erosion of stakeholder confidence across the organization.

The Real Problem: Georgia-Pacific's IT department had become an isolated technical silo, disconnected from the real business challenges facing a company that serves customers in the demanding building products industry. Every project resulted in solutions that failed to meet actual business requirements, causing massive delays, budget overruns, and frustrated stakeholders who were losing faith in technology as a business enabler.

The Purpose Discovery Process: Rediscovering IT's Role in Building Success

Using our Corporate Ikigai methodology, we worked with the IR leadership team to discover their true purpose within Georgia-Pacific's mission of creating building products that help construct the world's infrastructure:

What They Love: Solving complex technical challenges that directly enable business stakeholders to serve customers more effectively—taking on the technical complexity so business teams can focus on customer value creation

What They Do Well: Systems integration, technical problem-solving, and translating business requirements into robust, scalable technology solutions that support Georgia-Pacific's global manufacturing and distribution operations

What They're Paid For: Business-critical software solutions and technical support that enable Georgia-Pacific's building products divisions to operate efficiently, serve customers effectively, and maintain competitive advantage in a demanding industry

What the World Needs: Technology solutions that enable companies like Georgia-Pacific to build better, faster, and more sustainably—supporting the infrastructure development that communities depend on while maintaining operational excellence

Purpose Statement Discovered: "To enable business success through collaborative technology solutions that help Georgia-Pacific build the products that build the world."

This purpose became the foundation for completely transforming how IT operated within Georgia-Pacific's mission of responsible stewardship and sustainable building solutions.

The Four-Dimension Transformation Process

Strategic Dimension (Direction):

Completely redefined IT's role from an isolated technical service provider to a collaborative business partner embedded in Georgia-Pacific's core mission. Every technology decision had to answer: "How does this solution enable our business stakeholders to better serve customers and support Georgia-Pacific's commitment to sustainable building products?" This purpose-driven filter transformed IT from a cost center into a strategic enabler of business growth.

Operational Dimension (Execution):

Implemented client-collaborative development processes that embedded business stakeholders throughout the entire solution lifecycle. Built transparent project management workflows that connected every technical deliverable to specific business outcomes and customer value. Created joint requirement sessions that ensured solutions addressed real business challenges rather than theoretical technical requirements.

Every developer, analyst, and project manager learned to see their work through the lens of building products customers—where system reliability directly impacts manufacturing operations and customer satisfaction. The team embraced accountability for business outcomes, not just technical outputs.

Market Dimension (Impact):

Repositioned IT as a value-driven business enabler that helped Georgia-Pacific maintain its leadership position in building products manufacturing. Instead of being seen as a necessary expense, IT became recognized as a strategic partner that enabled faster product development, more efficient operations, and better customer service—all aligned with Georgia-Pacific's commitment to sustainable stewardship.

The transformation wasn't just about improving IT performance—it was about connecting every technology decision to Georgia-Pacific's broader purpose of responsible stewardship and sustainable building solutions. When the IT team understood how their work enabled Georgia-Pacific to serve customers who depend on reliable building materials, system reliability became essential, collaboration became natural, and business value became the automatic result.

Key Insight: When technology strategy aligns with true business purpose—in this case, enabling the creation of building products that support sustainable construction—complex technical decisions become clear, team motivation increases, and execution accelerates because everyone understands how their work serves a mission larger than technology.

Current Impact: Today, Georgia-Pacific continues to live this purpose through their "Products with Purpose" commitment, sustainable manufacturing practices, and forest stewardship programs that ensure responsible sourcing of raw materials. The collaborative culture established during this IT transformation continues to influence how the organization approaches complex challenges across all divisions, supporting their mission of working "to improve lives by providing everyday products and services that customers value more highly than their alternatives. All while consuming fewer resources."
