You mention that a standard engagement with you lasts about twenty four months. What is the fundamental difference in what we focus on during the first twelve months versus the second twelve months of this journey?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

The twenty four month journey is divided into two distinct phases, moving your leadership team from foundational learning to advanced operational mastery.

During the first twelve months, our focus is entirely on foundation and alignment. We spend our session days teaching your team the core tools of EOS® and getting everyone aligned on the vision. This includes building your Accountability Chart, defining your core values, creating a clean V/TO®, and mastering the weekly Level 10 Meeting™ cadence. By the end of year one, the chaotic firefighting should be replaced by a predictable, structured operational rhythm.

In the second twelve months, we shift our focus to optimization, scaling, and exit readiness. With the operational foundation firmly in place, we can begin layered implementation throughout the rest of your organization. This second year is where we:
- Deepen your team's self sufficiency so they can run the system without any external facilitation.
- Integrate advanced automation and AI driven tools to streamline your processes.
- Address critical Value Gaps using the Step by Step Exit framework to maximize the enterprise value of your business.

Year one is about getting control of the business. Year two is about optimizing the business so it can run, grow, and eventually exit successfully without your daily involvement.
