EOS TOOLBOX

Giving good advice can be helpful, but giving business leaders and managers simple and proven tools provides them with everything they need to build and run a great business. The EOS Toolbox™ contains a complete set of simple tools you can use to strengthen each component of your business.

A choice few Entrepreneurs (5%) get everything they want from their business.

Unfortunately the other 95% don’t.  

EOS® is the Roadmap that takes you from where you are to running a GREAT business

THE SIX KEY COMPONENTS™

We believe the answer lies in this simple principle:
Every business, big or small, has Six Key ComponentsTM.

To the degree your business leaders and managers can strengthen those Six Key Components, everything just has a way of falling into place and you will catapult your business into the top 5%.

EOS gives leaders & managers what they need to strengthen the Six Key Components and provides a comprehensive way of running your business so you can strengthen each component and produce the results you want. A strong, healthy, profitable company that experiences real ‘Traction®’.

EOS works in any entrepreneurial company and across all industries and business models because the system is founded on time-tested methods and principles, not business management theories or “flavors of the month”.

        This introduces the leadership team of a company to EOS, getting everyone on the same page so they can decide if they want to use the system and tools to strengthen their company.

    2. THE FOCUS DAY™

        A day to give the leadership team tools to clarify who’s responsible for what, set priorities, improve communication, resolve issues and track critical numbers. The leadership team then uses their new tools in their business for the next 30 days to experience real improvement.

    3. VISION BUILDING™ DAY 1

        Another day with the leadership team that starts by reviewing and sharpening the Focus Day tools. They then begin to use the Vision / Traction Organizer™ (V/TO™), tool to clarify their vision, starting with who they are, why they exist, what they do and where they are going. They will also get a great tool for reviewing their people.


        The team again uses their tools in their business for the next 30 days to experience more improvement. This is a spaced-learning approach which has proven to be most effective for quickly gaining proficiency with the tools.

    4. VISION BUILDING™ DAY 2

        Another day with the leadership team to master the Focus Day tools and continue using the V/TO tool to complete their vision, clarifying their Marketing Strategy, their 3-Year Picture™, 1-Year Plan and priorities for the next 90 days.

    5. QUARTERLY SESSIONS

        A day with the leadership team every 90 days to evaluate their performance, refocus, set priorities for the next 90 days and resolve any issues that might impede their progress.

EOS SERVICES

The Entrepreneurial Operating SystemS® (EOS®) has been used by over 10,000 business owners to get what they want from their businesses. Gino Wickman’s book introducing EOS, Traction, was highlighted as a “must read” by the NY Times and has been featured in a wide variety of business publications including Inc., Forbes, and Entrepreneur Magazine.

As CEO of Apogee IT Services, FreeBridge Founder Michael Halperin implemented EOS to help lead the transformation of a rapidly growing (nearly 300% growth over three years) business. Through the process Michael developed tremendous respect for the power of EOS and its ability to help businesses improve its alignment, focus and traction. Upon leaving Apogee, Michael chose to become an EOS Implementer to help other entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial leadership teams achieve the same benefits he realized at Apogee.

Many business leaders articulate some of these frustrations:
  • We have a lack of control over our business.
  • We don’t seem to get what we should out of our people.
  • We aren’t realizing the profit levels we think we should be achieving.
  • We seem to have plateaued as a business and haven’t been able to take it to the next level.
  • We’ve tried various approaches and nothing seems to work.
If any of these describe YOUR frustrations, let’s talk and see if EOS can help you get what you want from your business.
