EOS®* is often adopted by small to mid-sized businesses looking to gain traction and take their operations to the next level. It is designed to help improve overall functionality and efficiency to help entrepreneurs like you build stronger, more effective companies. However, understanding the ins and outs of EOS® is no easy feat. Maybe you’ve tried self-implementing EOS® and aren’t gaining the traction and scalability you’d hoped for? If not successfully self-implemented, your business can be left unstructured and stuck, which could put you behind your competition. Self-implementation can become an uphill battle. Rest assured you aren’t alone!
Common Stumbling Blocks for EOS® Self Implementors
- Sitting in too many seats. As the CEO/Visionary, are you trying to fulfill the Integrator role?
- Time! Challenging is an understatement when you are trying to learn and train your entire leadership team on EOS® – all the while managing your business. This can certainly result in a lack of commitment and follow-through.
- You are too close to the issues. A seasoned expert from the outside can see issues within your company and offer an objective perspective.
- Choosing which tools to use. Not following the entire proven process, which utilizes all EOS® components and tools, can lead to ineffective results and hinder traction and scalability.
The Importance of Gaining Traction
If you are unable to fully self-implement EOS® into your business, you most likely aren’t gaining the level of traction you desire to scale to the next level. In addition to other shortfalls, lack of traction can leave you unable to efficiently “move rocks and solve issues”, causing your business to lose scalability and profitability. Gino Wickman states in “Traction “Your ability to succeed is in direct proportion to your ability to solve your problems.” The effective self-implementation of EOS® will provide you with the ability to solve your problems and so much more.
The Missing Link -An Expert Fractional Integrator
As said before, it can be difficult to self-implement EOS® into all areas of your business. A Fractional Integrator could be the missing link to give you the success you envision. Gino Wickman, author of Traction, states in his book Rocket Fuel -“An Integrator is a person who has the Unique Ability® to harmoniously integrate the major functions of the business, run the organization, and manage the day-to-day issues that arise. The Integrator is the glue that holds the people, processes, systems, priorities, and strategy of the company together.” In simple terms, Fractional Integrators can be thought of like the “quarterback of the team”. They specialize in helping businesses scale and can help you successfully self-implement EOS® into your operations on a part-time, temporary basis.
