The business
Groundwork Organization
Groundwork runs LinkedIn for leadership teams that want to be seen, every business day, in each executive's voice.
"Every business day, our people post, comment, and reach out in each executive's voice, so your leaders stay in front of the people in your market and are known before the meeting."
Groundwork runs LinkedIn for leadership teams daily, published by Groundwork
"Buyers, partners, peers, and recruits look your leaders up before a first meeting, and what they find is often a job title and a post from last spring. A current profile with recent activity says you are active in your market, and a stale one leaves them guessing."
Groundwork runs LinkedIn for leadership teams daily, published by Groundwork
"Strong firms do good work, but their leaders are too busy to be seen, so we run their LinkedIn every business day."
About Groundwork and why we run LinkedIn for leaders, published by Groundwork
"Most people who look your leaders up before a first meeting find a job title and a post from last spring. Leaders are busy with the work, so business development stops whenever billable work picks up, and the profile shows it."
About Groundwork and why we run LinkedIn for leaders, published by Groundwork
"AI helps us research and draft. A person at Groundwork reads, decides, and performs each comment, connection, and message."

Data center leaders visible on LinkedIn | Groundwork, published by Groundwork
"Campus awards go to small committees, and the people on them search the names across the table. At most firms in this field, what they find is a job title and very little else."
Data center leaders visible on LinkedIn | Groundwork, published by Groundwork
"Your CEO and your chief engineer carry the firm's name, yet their profiles read like an org chart. An owner's real estate lead cannot tell what they built or how they think."
Data center leaders visible on LinkedIn | Groundwork, published by Groundwork
"Your team brought a hall live, and nobody said so. The next owner to look saw a quiet firm, even though the field was as busy as ever."
Data center leaders visible on LinkedIn | Groundwork, published by Groundwork
"Business development slows when crews are on site, so leaders go dark for months. A rival with a thinner record posts every week and looks like the safer bet on the next RFP."

Commercial GC leaders visible on LinkedIn | Groundwork, published by Groundwork
"Most of your good work comes from people who already know you. The trouble is the owners and owner's reps who haven't met you yet, and what shows up when they search."
Commercial GC leaders visible on LinkedIn | Groundwork, published by Groundwork
"Your president and your VP of preconstruction have a title and a company name. Nothing shows the topping-out, the GMP they brought in on budget, or the superintendents who ran it."
Commercial GC leaders visible on LinkedIn | Groundwork, published by Groundwork
"When the schedule is packed, business development stops and nobody posts. Six months later the backlog thins and you are introducing yourself from scratch."
Commercial GC leaders visible on LinkedIn | Groundwork, published by Groundwork

Principals worth knowing, architecture firms | Groundwork, published by Groundwork
"Owners and developers choose a principal they trust, and the portfolio mostly backs up that choice. A firm is only as findable as its principals."

Engineering leaders visible on LinkedIn | Groundwork, published by Groundwork
"A prime assembling a team looks at who it can trust with the discipline, and a quick search of the names it knows often settles it. Engineers tend to show up thin."

A short walkthrough of how Groundwork keeps your leaders visible on LinkedIn, what each executive gets, and who it is not for. Read the same story below.
- AUTHORED_BY Groundwork
"Most leadership teams look quiet on LinkedIn, and buyers, partners, and recruits notice. We keep yours visible every business day, in their own voice, so they are known before the meeting."

Key concepts
Business development Concept
The relationship work that new business depends on, which Groundwork runs every business day for leadership teams.
Same as: https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1017569
"When billable work picks up, business development stops and the market moves on, so a slow quarter means starting over from zero."

"When the schedule is packed, business development stops and nobody posts. Six months later the backlog thins and you are introducing yourself from scratch."
Commercial GC leaders visible on LinkedIn | Groundwork, published by Groundwork
"Business development slows when crews are on site, so leaders go dark for months. A rival with a thinner record posts every week and looks like the safer bet on the next RFP."

"Leaders are busy with the work, so business development stops whenever billable work picks up, and the profile shows it."

Request for proposal Concept
A formal buyer request that leaders in many Groundwork industries respond to, and the moment a buyer looks the leaders up.
Same as: https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q2432075
"The owner's team, the GC, and the engineer of record each open one profile per leader, whether the name came through an intro, an RFP, 7x24 Exchange, or a referral. Recent, specific activity says you are working in the market right now. A bare title says nothing at all."

"Owners search a partner by name whether a banker, an attorney, a state society event, or an RFP brought the firm up. A recent record of plain-language thinking on the issues owners face shows a partner they can talk to. A thin profile shows a name on a letterhead."

Chief executive officer Concept
The chief executive, one of the leaders whose LinkedIn presence Groundwork runs.
Same as: https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q484876
"A CEO weighing a mandate and a candidate weighing a call both search the partner. Recent views on a sector's talent market, plus comments on the posts of CHROs and board members, show a partner who belongs to that world. A bare title shows someone who may only know it from a database."
Be known to clients and candidates first | Groundwork, published by Groundwork
"A CEO hiring a CFO or a head of sales sends candidates to your operating partners. A blank profile is a weak first impression with talent."
Be known to founders and bankers first | Groundwork, published by Groundwork
"Your CEO and chief engineer stay in front of owners, GCs, and vendors every week, including the long stretches between conferences. We cannot say who will call, and your market will know who you are when someone does."
