We’re so proud and excited to share that Keystone Group International has been named to the 2026 Inc. Magazine's Regionals: Midwest list, coming in at 93. This list recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in the region.

We talk about growth a LOT. But behind every number is something less visible:

• Better decisions
• Stronger alignment
• Teams that know how to execute when it counts

This recognition reflects the work our clients and team are doing every day to build organizations that don’t just plan well — they perform.

Grateful to be in the company of so many Midwest businesses pushing things forward.

Before the strategy, the systems, and the results…
there were these tiny people. :)

The same curiosity, drive, and personality that showed up back then still shows up in the work today.

At Keystone, we believe growth isn’t just about the plan—it’s about the people behind it.

Same foundation. Bigger impact.

This April’s Culture Cohort panel is stacked.

Three executives. Three transformation leaders. All in the arena right now — building, scaling, and driving serious results.

🔥 Ally Ward | CEO & Co-Founder, Merchology
Harvard Business School alum. 40 Under 40 honoree. Operator who has scaled a people-first company with intentional systems and disciplined growth. Ally proves you don’t have to choose between strong culture and strong performance.

🔥 Jackie Galle | VP, Enterprise Change & Program Management, Compeer Financial
Enterprise transformation architect. Jackie leads the playbooks, tools, and executive alignment required to move multi-year strategy into measurable ex*****on. She’s guided complex global change efforts — and knows where most organizations stall.

🔥 Doug Jaeger | President & CEO, Ulteig
Four-fold growth in seven years. 1,700+ employees. Top workplace recognition. Doug has built a high-performance, employee-centric culture while accelerating expansion across North America. CEO perspective. Boardroom perspective. Real scale.

We’re going deep on what it actually takes to align leadership, eliminate friction, and build cultures that produce top-quartile results.

If you lead people.
If you own a P&L.
If you’re navigating growth, change, or complexity.

You’ll want in this room.

The strongest organizations aren’t the ones with the most ideas.
They’re the ones with the clearest Flywheel—
the simple, powerful sequence that drives results again and again.

Here’s how leaders design clarity that accelerates ex*****on:

02/09/2026

Leadership today requires more than confidence and decisiveness. It requires courage in the face of complexity.

Tomorrow, February 10, we’re convening senior executives and cultural architects for Cultures of Courage: Leading with Conviction in Recognition of Complexity.

This is a candid, working session for leaders who want to:

• Lead culture from the inside out
• Break fear-based decision patterns
• Empower teams to act with clarity amid uncertainty
• Learn from peers who chose courage over comfort

If this conversation feels timely, we’d love to have you in the room. Last chance to register: https://www.keystonegroupintl.com/events

Minneapolis, we’re coming back together.
 
Culture becomes a competitive advantage when leadership and strategy are aligned. SO → Please join the conversation.
 
This February,  the Culture Cohort returns with a focus on Cultures of Courage and what it really takes to lead with conviction when decisions are complex, the stakes are real, and alignment matters more than ever.
 
This isn’t a keynote. It’s not theory. It’s a room full of senior leaders having the conversations that actually shape culture and ex*****on.
 
Huge thanks to our Culture Champions for helping make this possible:
 
👏 Waypost
👏 Paylocity
👏 Platinum Bank
 
If you’re a leader who believes culture isn’t fluff but a strategic advantage, this one’s for you.
