EOS® is a powerful set of business tools that provide a framework that empowers companies to create a clear vision throughout their entire organization, and in the process, boost the health of the company as a whole. This article discusses EOS® and how it could potentially transform your organization.
What is EOS® All About?
EOS® is based on the book Traction: Getting a Grip on Your Business, which is written by Gino Wickman. The effectiveness of EOS® is underscored by the fact that EOS® is currently utilized by over 10,000 companies around the globe.
EOS® is a powerful set of tools that, as Neth explained, “are being used by businesses every single day to grow, transform and capitalize on opportunity and deal with problems. These tools provide strategic advantages and strategic tools that many organizations implement to become better, to beat their competition, to become stronger.”
How Can EOS® Benefit Your Company?
Through EOS®, it is possible to establish a clear vision for your organization. Neth points out that cultivating this vision is about finding clarity of purpose so that every team member is pulling in the same direction. When used from the top to the bottom of a company, the tools provided by EOS® can have a transformative effect. Discipline and accountability are key focal points of EOS®, as it is through discipline and accountability that the health of companies can be enhanced greatly.
At the core of EOS® is the concept that everyone should share the same company vision. That means that there must be good, consistent and steady communication. In order to facilitate this level of communication and understanding, it is necessary to have a transparent system in order to remove barriers, blockers and impurities. When properly utilized, EOS® creates an opportunity through which everyone can not only identify their own issues, but also find ways to solve those issues.
Managing People
The most important asset that any company has is its people. As a result, it is absolutely essential to not only find the right people, but also to guide those people as efficiently and effectively as possible. As Neth explained, “You’ve got to be clear and transparent with people about what you need and about what success ultimately looks like. You want to make certain that everyone in the organization understands their job.”
In a world that is becoming increasingly complex, the role of the generalist is quickly being eroded. In its place, we discover that people’s roles within companies are, by necessity, becoming more and more specific. All of this points to the increasing importance of clarifying people’s roles within companies, and what is expected of them. Gray areas need to be eliminated as they impair team members’ understanding of their duties and responsibilities.
Communication is Key
Everyone in the organization should understand not only the role of their respective department, but also their role within that department and the organization as a whole. Once again, the key to success boils down to good communication and clarity of purpose and roles within the organization. Everyone must be rowing in the same direction, and it is through weekly measurables that true progress can take place.
