We want to use the Step by Step Exit framework to prepare for a clean exit, but we are worried about overloading our leadership team. How do you fit the exit disciplines into our standard session cadence?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

We do not run two separate programs or overload your team with extra meetings. Instead, we integrate the Step by Step Exit disciplines directly into your standard quarterly and annual session cadence.

During our regular session days, we use the core tools to address your exit readiness. For example, when we work on your Accountability Chart, we are simultaneously executing the Legacy and Tribal Knowledge disciplines by designing you out of daily operations. When we review your long-term goals on the V/TO®, we are actively calculating your Value Gaps and identifying the valuation levers needed to close them.

We also introduce the Advisor Meeting Pulse, which functions exactly like a Level 10 Meeting™ but is tailored for your exit planning advisors. This structure ensures that your lawyers, accountants, and exit planners are executing their deliverables on the same ninety-day rhythm as your internal team.

By layering these exit disciplines onto your existing operational engine, we prepare your business for a high-value transition without distracting your leaders from hitting their weekly numbers.
