A Focused Approach to Growth
New COO Ken doty’s primary focus is simple: delivering the highest quality of care. He recognizes that achieving this requires a seamless blend of compassionate service and smart technology. Doty’s role is to empower the team, allowing founder and CEO Jeff Salter and McAdoo to concentrate on developing cutting-edge solutions.
“My priorities are really around bringing the team together and allowing our founder and Justin to stay hyper focused on providing us the technologies and the solutions,” Doty explains. “This is a growth opportunity, not only for Carrying Senior Service, but for the industry as a whole.”
This collaborative spirit is palpable within the organization. The leadership team operates with a level of transparency and dialog that’s rare in many companies – literally within earshot of each othre. Company goals,including a target of adding 8-10 franchisees annually,are prominently displayed,fostering a shared sense of purpose.
Unconventional Paths, Powerful Results
both Doty and McAdoo bring unique backgrounds to their roles, diverging from conventional career trajectories. This diversity of experience is proving to be a significant asset.
Justin McAdoo’s decade at Verge Mobile, scaling a franchise-based retailer from 16 to 220 locations and supporting 1,300 employees, honed his ability to build and deploy technology at scale. He further refined this skillset by founding a software startup, learning to optimize technology for frontline workers.
Ken Doty’s journey began with consulting in the home-based care sector, focusing on attracting caregivers driven by a genuine calling.He then successfully launched a property management company and a technology firm, before holding key leadership positions at Maids International, including CIO, CDO, and COO.
These varied experiences provide a holistic understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the franchise model and the evolving needs of the senior care market.
Navigating the Tech-Human Balance
While embracing technology is crucial, McAdoo is acutely aware of the potential pitfalls. He emphasizes that technology should enhance, not replace, the human connection at the heart of senior care.
“There’s a concern that too much technology could make care feel less personal,” McAdoo acknowledges. “Technology is not here to replace the human touch. It’s really here to protect it. By taking the administrative burden off the caregivers,technology actually gives them more time to focus on the meaningful relationships and connections that they have with the seniors.”
This thoughtful approach is vital. The goal isn’t simply to automate tasks, but to empower caregivers to provide more attentive and personalized care.
Overcoming Franchise Adoption Hurdles & Cultivating a Growth Mindset
doty identifies two key challenges in scaling a franchise operation: technology adoption and fostering a growth mindset.
Engaging existing franchisees with new technologies and processes can be tough. new franchisees readily embrace the established systems, but those with a history may resist change. Doty views overcoming this resistance as a essential barrier to success.
“It is the engagement and the adoption of that new technology,” he states. “It’s the engagement and adoption of new structured programs and so forth. As you bring on new franchisees, that’s pretty easy to do because that’s the only thing they know. But for franchisees that have history, it becomes a little bit more of a challenge to get them to engage and want to become part of the process.”
Secondly, Doty is focused on cultivating a growth mindset across the entire organization. This involves encouraging a willingness to embrace new ideas, learn from failures, and continuously improve.
“I believe we’re getting there, and that will be a major win for us,” he concludes.
