Case Studies
HAMILTON Casework Solutions
Company Overview:
HAMILTON Casework Solutions, a Cincinnati manufacturer of specialty office furniture for the commercial, educational, financial, and healthcare markets, joined the Goering Center in 2018.
Nick Trelka joined HAMILTON in 2017 and identified the need for stronger managers within the organization. He spoke with a close friend, who had recently assumed the presidential role at his family-owned business, about the company culture and its needs.
HAMILTON joined as a Core Member, and Nick participated in select programming prior to putting his managers through the training. In 2018, he took part in the Leadership Development Institute™ and Communication and Culture Institute. Nick also joined a Business Roundtable group and attended single-day programming alongside other managers from his company.
In addition to participating in the Center’s virtual and in-person programming, Nick opted to utilize the Member Alignment Profile™ (MAP) assessment to gain key buy-in from his peers and leadership team, and to fully understand the value of their investment with the Goering Center.
Target Participants:
Business, non-profit, and community leaders from all sectors
Member Industry:
Manufacturing

Why the Goering Center:
Focus on private business and professional development skills
How have they engaged:
- Member Alignment Profile™ (MAP)
- Peer Roundtable
- Leadership Development Institute™
- Communication and Culture Institute™
- Virtual and In-Person Programs
Summary:
Nick plans to send more team members through the Goering Center – from indirect labor, like their engineering team, to customer service. HAMILTON’s employees are in four different buildings, and the departments do not all interact with one another on a regular basis. He found that Goering Center programming strengthens the connection and cohesion of the broader team. He sends the program opportunities to his managers, noting that attendance is not required, but highly recommended.
