“Get a Grip on Your Business – Six Keys to Getting What You Want from Your Business”
This presentation covers the six key areas that are at the core of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS).
The Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) is a set of simple concepts and practical tools used by more than 200,000 companies around the world to clarify, simplify, and achieve their vision.
It is a complete, proven system with simple, practical tools to help you do 3 things we call vision, traction, healthy.
- Vision, from the standpoint of first getting your leaders 100% on the same page with where your organization is going and how it is going to get there.
- Traction, from the standpoint of helping your leaders to become more disciplined and accountable, executing really well to achieve every part of your vision.
- Healthy, meaning helping your leaders to become a healthy, functional, cohesive leadership team because unfortunately, leaders often don’t function well as a team.
Simply put, the Entrepreneurial Operating System is an integrated set of concepts and tools that help entrepreneurs to get the most out of their companies. Supported by an easy-to-understand framework powerfully depicted in founder Gino Wickman’s bestselling book, Traction, EOS optimizes human energy within an organization so that everyone – from owners to employees – is working productively on the most important priorities. The system consists of Six Key Components™ – People, Vision, Data, Issues, Process and Traction®– each of which includes a handful of straightforward tools to promote mastery. Full implementation within an organization typically takes two years following a rigorous and proven process.
