What does the endgame look like with you, and how do we know when our leadership team has graduated from needing your facilitation?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

The ultimate goal of our engagement is to make your leadership team completely self-sufficient. I do not want to be a permanent fixture in your business, and you should not want to pay me forever. Graduation happens when your team has fully mastered the tools and can run the process seamlessly without an outside facilitator. We measure this readiness by looking at your execution and organizational health. Your team is ready to graduate when you are consistently achieving eighty percent or more of your quarterly Rocks, your weekly Level 10 Meeting™ sessions are highly productive and run without friction, and you are solving complex organizational issues permanently using the IDS® process. Your Accountability Chart must be stable, and your team must exhibit high trust and healthy conflict. Typically, this graduation occurs after two to three years of working together. At that point, your team has experienced enough quarterly and annual cycles to handle the facilitation of your own session days. When you reach this level of operational maturity, my role changes. We will transition our focus to ensuring your operations are optimized for a clean exit, or we will wrap up our engagement so you can run the business independently with confidence.
