JE Dunn’s Winning ITAM Strategy: Behind the 2025 Workshop Warrior Award

At JE Dunn Construction, thoughtful growth is in their DNA. As one of the country’s most respected construction companies, the company knows that smart planning and the right partnerships are essential for staying ahead—and their IT Asset Management (ITAM) team is leading by example.
In recognition of their vision, collaboration, and momentum, the team was honored with Anglepoint’s Workshop Warrior Award—a distinction given to just one client in 2025 for exceptional engagement in the Anglepoint ITAM Strategy Workshop.
Their journey is a testament to what’s possible when a strong team leans into strategy, embraces new thinking, and invests in becoming even better.
A High-Performing ITAM Team Ready to Scale
JE Dunn’s ITAM team wasn’t looking for a reset. They already had solid processes, a culture of ownership, and a clear commitment to delivering value across the organization. As the company continued to grow, though, the team recognized an opportunity to think bigger—and align their work with the scale and sophistication of JE Dunn’s expanding business.
“We’d done everything we could internally,” one team member said. “But we knew we’d benefit from stepping back and looking at the big picture—with help from experts who’ve guided other organizations like ours.”
That mindset led them to Anglepoint’s ITAM Strategy Workshop—a two-day, deep-dive engagement designed to help teams sharpen their focus, align on goals, and unlock next-level value.
Inside the IT Asset Management (ITAM) Strategy Workshop
The Anglepoint ITAM Strategy Workshop is a two-day, highly collaborative session tailored to each organization’s needs. For JE Dunn, it provided dedicated time and space to step back from day-to-day operations and focus on big-picture strategy.
The agenda blends current-state assessments with future-state planning—helping teams identify risks, define goals, and prioritize the actions that will drive the most impact. Through thoughtful discussion and structured exercises, the workshop equips teams with a clear, actionable ITAM roadmap and the language to communicate it across the business.
The Power of Stepping Back
For the JE Dunn team, the workshop was more than an opportunity—it was a moment to reconnect with purpose.
As a high-performing team, they brought a deep understanding of their individual domains—from mobile to hardware and beyond. The workshop gave them the chance to zoom out, align across functions, and refine how their collective efforts support the broader business.
For newer team members, it also offered a unique window into the team’s strategic direction and impact.
“I’ve always worked in mobile,” one team member said. “This helped me understand how everything fits together—and how I can grow into a broader role.”
Another team member, fresh out of college, described it as a “deep dive that propelled me forward”—a sentiment that reflects the team’s commitment to mentorship and professional development as they evolve together.
Key Takeaways From Anglepoint’s ITAM Strategy Workshop
One of the biggest takeaways was the team’s adoption of a new guiding principle: actionable intelligence.
“It shifted how we saw ourselves. We’re not here to make every decision—we’re here to bring the right insights to the right people, at the right time.”
As a well-established team with a deep understanding of JE Dunn’s IT operations, this concept helped reframe their role—not just as lifecycle operators, but as strategic partners. The workshop validated their evolving mission: to surface the right data, put it in context, and connect it to what matters most to the business.
It also equipped them with language and structure they still use today:
-
- A charter statement aligned with JE Dunn’s broader business goals
- Clear North Star metrics to focus and prioritize
- Stronger stakeholder alignment through collaborative RACI work
- A refined view of what ITAM is—and isn’t—which helps avoid scope creep and sharpen influence
These tools, combined with a refreshed mindset, have helped the team better support stakeholders across IT, procurement, and executive leadership. By focusing on the ‘so what’ behind the data, they ensure decision-makers are equipped with the right insights to act—whether it’s around budgeting, contract renewals, or long-term planning.
“We’ve always known our work matters. But now we’re telling that story more clearly—and others across the business are seeing it too.”
Recognition That Reflects the ITAM Journey
At the close of the year, Anglepoint recognized JE Dunn’s ITAM team with the Workshop Warrior Award—celebrating their strategic engagement, collaborative spirit, and outstanding use of the Strategy Workshop to elevate their program.
“We were blown away by the willingness of all levels of the JE Dunn team to roll up their sleeves and get involved,” said Chris Hayes, an Anglepoint leader who worked closely with the team. “The workshop was timed so that it coincided with JE Dunn’s strategic planning for next year, so we hope our recommendations add value for this rapidly maturing practice.”
Words of Advice from a Winning Team
When asked what they’d say to others considering the Strategy Workshop, the JE Dunn team was clear:
“Do it.”
“It doesn’t matter whether you think you’re behind or doing great—you’ll walk away with new tools, clarity, and a better understanding of your impact.”
They also praised the experience itself: “It wasn’t generic. It was specific to us. And that made all the difference.”
