We are used to hiring traditional consultants who write plans and build dashboards for us. How does your role as an EOS Implementer differ when it comes to the actual heavy lifting of writing our V/TO and building our Scorecard?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

Traditional consultants specialize in telling you what to do, often writing massive strategic plans that sit on a shelf gathering dust. I do not do your work for you, and I do not write your plans. My role is to teach you the system, facilitate your discussions, and coach your team to find your own answers.

You and your leadership team are the experts in your business. If I write your V/TO or design your Scorecard, your team will not own them. When execution gets tough, your people will point to my plan and blame the consultant for any failures. True accountability only exists when the leadership team crafts the strategy themselves.

As your Professional EOS Implementer, I bring the framework, keep your sessions highly disciplined, and force your team to have the difficult conversations required to get aligned. I will teach you how to use the tools, call out the elephant in the room, and keep you focused on solving your issues.

This facilitative approach is designed to build internal capability. By the time we complete our twenty-four-month journey, your team will have the confidence, tools, and habits to run the business entirely on your own. My ultimate goal is to make myself obsolete by leaving you with a self-sufficient leadership team.
