We are planning a major pivot in our business model next quarter. Should we adjust our scheduled EOS quarterly session cadence to match this change, or do we stick to the standard calendar?

You must stick to your scheduled session cadence, especially during a major business pivot. A strategic shift is precisely when you need the structure of your quarterly session the most. The temptation is always to delay the meeting until you have figured everything out. That is a mistake. The quarterly session is the exact forum where you solve the complex issues surrounding your pivot. We use this time to realign your V/TO®, adjust your scorecard metrics, and set new Rocks that reflect the new strategic direction. If you postpone the session, your team will execute the pivot in a chaotic, uncoordinated fashion. They will rely on assumptions instead of aligned decisions. By maintaining the scheduled cadence, we ensure that your leadership team steps out of the day-to-day noise to validate the new strategy, assign clear accountabilities, and establish the trackable metrics required to monitor the transition. The discipline of the quarterly pulse keeps your business grounded and focused when everything else in your industry is shifting.
