Because true innovation doesn’t happen without courage and collaboration; we are the connectors of people, the source of experience and the co-creators of strategy

Our journey begins with a group of like-minded individuals who worked side by side for many years delivering on large and complex technology and operational programs. While solving big business problems and leading organizations through tremendous phases of growth, we discovered ways to achieve unprecedented results while building passionate, collaborative, and results-focused teams. We created keyworks to share this collaborative formula and enable our customers to achieve extraordinary results with their own strategic initiatives. Big and bold technology innovation requires a lot of heavy-lifting. We bring the highest standard of expertise along with the practical experience to support our customers in reaching quality outcomes and new heights of achievement.

Our Leadership

Nicole Lang, Chief Executive Officer Leveraging her executive experience leading large-scale operations and complex product deployments, Nicole provides a holistic business approach to technology program delivery. Her ease of communication and measured approach to business problems fosters collaboration and coordinated execution leading ultimately to tremendous team results.

“The idea of Keyworks came about when a group of us were sharing what we had enjoyed most in our professional lives – what were the top moments that we could recall. And for me it all came down to times that were charged with, what I would call, “collaborative creation”. I wanted to recreate the success I have experienced in building and bringing together amazing and productive teams to deliver true innovation and new lines of business. When you experience that energy and excitement that occurs when smart and passionate people collaborate to create something new and transformative – there’s nothing like it.”

Greg Scollon, Vice President, Broadband Strategy Greg understands the critical importance of matching technical strategy with delivering an efficient operation. Having led both large operational teams as well as tactical departments across Western Canada in the Broadband Telecommunications and Contract Construction arena. Greg gets that it takes a team who understands that each role is vital to the success of the initiative.

  “I often call myself an Operations Junkie- I find it so interesting how the same industries have evolved so differently, be it in the technical solutions or practices they employ or in the culture among teams or across geographies. I still get excited to learn about how companies are getting things done, how hey are unique and where they struggle and how I can help.”
