We are highly interested in your process, but some of our partners are hesitant to commit to an average engagement duration of twenty four months. What happens if we want to try this on a session by session basis, and why do you discourage a short term trial?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

Operating on a session-by-session basis does not work because real organizational change cannot be achieved through quick fixes. The average client engagement duration is twenty-four months for a specific reason: it takes time to break old habits, build trust, and fully master the EOS® tools. If you attempt a short-term trial, your team will likely abandon the system the moment they encounter the inevitable friction of restructuring seats or holding people accountable. Our twenty-four-month journey is divided into clear, logical phases. We start with the Focus Day and Vision Building sessions to establish your foundation. Then, we transition into a consistent quarterly cycle of one-day sessions and two-day annuals. This rhythm is designed to build organizational muscle memory. By committing to the full process, you allow your team the space to make mistakes, learn how to run effective Level 10 Meetings, and master the discipline of achieving ninety-day Rocks. A session-by-session approach creates a transactional relationship where your team treats the system as an optional project rather than a permanent way of operating. If you are not ready to commit to the time and effort required to fully implement this system over a two-year horizon, your company is simply not ready to begin. Real enterprise value and exit readiness require a long-term strategic investment, not a temporary trial.
