Welcome to Focus and Vision with Gino Wickman, where we help you master EOS®.

This episode shifts focus to the Traction side of the V/TO®, emphasizing the creation of a clear 1-Year Plan as the driving force for the team’s next steps. 

We outline the three essential steps for setting up your 1-Year Plan: selecting a future date, determining Measurables, and prioritizing goals for your organization. 

Although this looks simple, it’s not easy to get the leadership team on the same page and rowing in the same direction. 

Moving forward, you’ll start to define financial goals, accountability, cash flow analysis, budgeting, and a clear Scorecard to measure the plan’s progress.

Are you ready? Because in this episode, we set the stage for your EOS Journey. 

Be warned: The EOS Tools are simple, but implementing them is not easy. We invite you to step outside the chaos of your businesses, commit to the EOS Process®, and aim for increased clarity and control. 

Finally, be careful what you wish for, as the EOS Process delivers tangible results.

Welcome to Focus and Vision with Gino Wickman, where we help you master EOS®.

We build on the previous Hitting the Ceiling discussion in this episode, by focusing on one of The Five Leadership Abilities™: Structure.

We’ll cover how to use The Accountability Chart® to create the right organizational structure tailored to your business needs. You want to identify clear accountabilities and place the right people in the right seats to achieve organizational clarity and accountability.

We’ll review the three major functions – sales and marketing, operations, and finance – and why they all report to the Integrator™.

Welcome to Focus and Vision with Gino Wickman, where we help you master EOS®.

In this episode, we cover the Focus Day® session. In fact, the central theme for this part of the series is focus, because it underpins our upcoming discussions in the series. 

We’ll lay the foundation for building a robust vision and promoting accountability, effective communication, organizational health, and improved bottom-line results.

The five tools are introduced during the Focus Day session: addressing Hitting the Ceiling, creating an Accountability Chart, establishing Quarterly Rocks, implementing a Meeting Pulse, and using a Scorecard. These are key to gaining traction toward achieving your vision.

Welcome to Focus and Vision with Gino Wickman, where we help you master EOS®.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of prioritizing quarterly tasks to advance your organization’s long-term goals, what we at EOS call Rocks. . 

We review where the term “Rock” comes from (credit where credit’s due!) and how to set SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely) goals. 

We’ll walk through how to identify the three to seven key priorities for your business, assign owners to each Rock, and maintain a laser focus on completing them to achieve organizational goals.

We introduce the Scorecard in this episode. The Scorecard is a tool that focuses on the 5–15 Measurables that are critical to getting an absolute pulse on your business. Reviewing these numbers regularly will help you better predict outcomes and ensure your processes are on track. 

You may have heard them called dashboard or key performance indicators, but at EOS we call it the Scorecard. It may take some trial and error, but finding the right Measurables can help you foster accountability and inform decision-making for your business.

Credit where credit’s due! As we wrap up this series, we want to acknowledge the valuable insights from the many individuals and the resources they’ve shared with the EOS Community. 

Of the countless clients and colleagues who have had a major impact on Gino’s life – and on EOS®, six stand out as the most significant for their roles in building EOS into what it is today.

This episode kicks off the Vision portion of the series. In this first episode, we’ll introduce the Entrepreneurial Operating System® and show how committing to it can give you the structure and support you need to achieve your goals.

We’ll also share some great insights into what successful organizations are doing to gain traction and succeed.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of the leadership team having a shared organizational vision. The two-day Vision Building® process will simplify and clarify the vision, getting everyone on the Leadership Team on the same page. 

We introduce the Vision/Traction Organizer® (V/TO®), a tool with eight key sections concentrating on Core Values, Core Focus™, 10-Year Target™, marketing strategy, 3-Year Picture™, 1-Year Plan, Quarterly Rocks, and Issue identification. 

Achieving 100% alignment on the vision within the leadership team leads to more efficient issue resolution and organizational success.

Welcome to Focus and Vision with Gino Wickman, where we help you master EOS®.

This episode focuses on the fifth section of the V/TO®: What is your 3-Year Picture? Developing the 3-Year Picture involves choosing a time frame (usually three to seven years), determining specific Measurables, such as revenues and profits, and then having each leadership team member outline what the organization looks like in that time frame. 

Once you achieve consensus among the leadership team, where everyone sees and desires the 3-Year Picture, you’re ready to move forward and translate it into a clear 1-Year Plan.
