How long does a standard engagement with you run before our leadership team is fully capable of running these systems independently?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

The standard client engagement runs for twenty-four months. This timeline is not an arbitrary number, it is the proven duration required to build lasting operational muscle memory within an entrepreneurial company. Over this two-year cycle, we will meet for a total of eight quarterly sessions and two comprehensive, two-day annual planning sessions, in addition to our foundational three-day start.

During the first year, your focus is entirely on learning the tools, establishing healthy meeting rhythms, and aligning your team. This is where we build the Accountability Chart, set clear Rocks, and master the Level 10 Meeting™ cadence. The second year is about mastery, self-sufficiency, and advanced strategic integration, such as layering in the Step by Step Exit framework or optimizing your workflows with artificial intelligence.

The ultimate goal of this twenty-four-month journey is to make me completely obsolete. I am not here to sell you a perpetual consulting retainer. By the end of our two years together, your leadership team will possess the capability, discipline, and confidence to facilitate your own quarterly and annual sessions. You will run EOS® entirely on your own, maintaining your strategic momentum and driving company value without any external hand-holding.
