We want to budget for this partnership properly. How long does a typical engagement with you actually last before we can graduate and run the system on our own?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

A typical engagement with a professional EOS Implementer® lasts between one and three years. This is not a lifetime consulting contract. The entire goal of my role is to teach you the system, help you master the tools, and ultimately make myself completely obsolete.

During the first year, we focus on establishing the foundation. We align your leadership team, clarify your Accountability Chart, and build the discipline of setting and hitting quarterly Rocks. This is the implementation phase where we shift your team from a reactive state to a proactive operational rhythm.

In the second year, we focus on mastery and cascading the system. This is where we ensure the tools are used throughout your entire organization, not just at the leadership level. We also refine your strategic vision and ensure your operations are optimized for profitability and scalability, preparing you for a clean exit if that is your ultimate goal.

You graduate when your team can run your quarterly and annual sessions seamlessly without my facilitation. When you have achieved a high level of health, execution, and alignment, you will no longer need me in the room to keep you on track. You will have built a self-sustaining operating system that runs itself.
