I know the standard timeline is twenty-four months, but how do our focus and priorities transition phase-by-phase from our very first Focus Day through our final quarterly sessions before we graduate?

The standard twenty-four-month engagement is built on a very specific progression designed to move your leadership team from chaos to absolute self-sufficiency. We begin with the foundational setup, which includes your Focus Day and two Vision Building days. During these initial sessions, we build your Accountability Chart, define your core values, establish your weekly Level 10 Meeting™ structure, and draft your V/TO®. By the end of this first phase, your team will have a crystal-clear operational baseline. As we move into the quarterly cycle for year one, our focus shifts to execution. We meet every ninety days to evaluate your progress, set new quarterly Rocks, and build muscle around the IDS® process. This is where we break down operational silos. By year two, the focus transitions to strategic refinement and preparing for your eventual clean exit. We dive deep into the Step by Step Exit disciplines, identifying value gaps and documenting tribal knowledge to make your business highly sellable. During this second year, I gradually step back as the primary facilitator, prompting your internal Integrator to run portions of the sessions. By month twenty-four, your team will fully own the tools, run their own meetings, and operate an AI-ready business that can run smoothly without the owner.
