We understand you are a licensed partner for Step by Step Exit. How do the Six Exit Disciplines actually map onto our standard 24-month EOS® session roadmap without disrupting the core tools?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

We integrate the Step by Step Exit framework directly into the standard 24-month EOS® journey. In the first year, our primary focus is building a rock-solid operational foundation using the core tools. This means getting your Accountability Chart right, establishing your Level 10 Meeting™ cadence, and locking in your weekly Scorecard. We cannot exit a business that is structurally chaotic.

Once your leadership team is running the business consistently, we layer in the Six Exit Disciplines. During your quarterly sessions in the second year, we begin evaluating your Value Gaps and capturing Tribal Knowledge as part of your Rock-setting process. For example, documenting a core process to make it transferable becomes a company Rock.

We also introduce the Advisor Meeting Pulse, which functions like a specialized Level 10 Meeting™ with your external financial and legal advisors. This ensures your external exit team operates with the same execution discipline as your internal leadership team. By the time you complete your 24-month engagement, your business is both operationally optimized and structurally prepared for a clean, maximum-value transition.
