When Fort Worth–based Paslay Group CEO Clay Paslay talks about the firm’s future, he puts it plainly: Go big or go home.
To that end, the firm recently scored a big milestone. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has officially awarded Paslay Group a trademark registration for its proprietary Executive Program Management® model.
The recognition affirms the uniqueness of the EPM approach — developed and introduced by founder and CEO R. Clay Paslay in 2007 — which provides airport owners with a small team of executive-level leaders to expand their capacity to deliver large, complex capital programs.
“As a former airport executive overseeing massive development programs, I knew there had to be a better way to manage large complex capital programs than what the industry was offering at the time,” Paslay said. “The trademark is affirmation that Executive Program Management is a unique model we built for the airport industry. Our clients see the value, and we know the model can help owners across many sectors deliver capital programs effectively and efficiently.”
Paslay Group, headquartered on Bailey Avenue, first deployed its EPM model during Sacramento International Airport’s $1.2 billion Big Build terminal development program and has since implemented it at airports across the country. The firm has served 50 U.S. airports and managed $44 billion in capital programs since its founding in 2006.
According to the firm, Executive Program Management has helped owners save hundreds of millions of dollars through implementation planning centered on each client’s objectives and capabilities, tailored delivery methods, efficient scheduling, and strong program management focused on shared key performance indicators.
