The Challenge
When Greg Davis stepped into the CEO role at Bigleaf Networks, the company was at a critical juncture. As the market leader in internet optimization, Bigleaf needed to scale its operations while managing significant leadership transitions. The company faced three key challenges:
- Building robust analytics and reporting systems to support informed decision-making during a period of management changes
- Developing and implementing sophisticated commercial metrics to drive business growth
- Maintaining seamless board communications and financial operations during a CFO transition
"When I stepped into the role, we needed more than just consultants – we needed partners who could truly understand our business and help us make informed decisions. That's exactly what we found with Continuous Scale."

The Solution
Continuous Scale, through their embedded team member Ben Martin, implemented a comprehensive approach focused on three core areas:
- Strategic Decision Support
Working as an integrated team member, Ben provided the analytical foundation needed for sophisticated decision-making across the organization. This included developing enriched data analysis that complemented Bigleaf's existing systems. - Operational Metrics Development
The team collaborated with Bigleaf to identify, structure, and implement key commercial metrics that drive operational discipline. This involved not just defining what to measure but also creating sustainable systems for tracking and effectively utilizing these metrics. - Leadership Transition Management
During critical personnel changes, including a CFO transition, Continuous Scale provided continuity and strategic support to ensure business operations remained smooth and effective.
"Ben and the Continuous Scale team don't just deliver reports – they help us understand the story behind the numbers and what actions we should take. That's invaluable."
