We do not want to be dependent on an outside consultant forever. What are the specific milestones that dictate when our engagement with you transitions from active instruction to self-sufficiency?

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

My ultimate goal as an Professional EOS Implementer® is to work myself out of a job. The standard timeline to achieve self-sufficiency is typically two years, which spans about eight quarterly cycles and two annual planning sessions.

The transition is dictated by three specific milestones:
- First, your team must consistently achieve an eighty percent or higher completion rate on your quarterly Rocks without external prompting.
- Second, your weekly Level 10 Meeting™ sessions must run smoothly, scoring an average of eight or nine out of ten, with your team masterfully using the IDS® process to resolve issues independently.
- Third, your leadership team must display absolute alignment on your V/TO®, with every member living your core values and clearly understanding their role on the Accountability Chart.

Once these milestones are met, my role shifts from teaching and facilitating to simply keeping you sharp. Eventually, you will run your own quarterlies, and we will structure an exit ramp where I only facilitate your intense, two-day annual planning sessions. This progression ensures you build lasting internal capability rather than a permanent dependency on an outside advisor.
