Professional EOS Implementation with Lloyd Wolf

Lloyd Wolf helps business owners and leaders in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania achieve more — more of their goals and everything they want from their businesses.

He does this by being a Professional EOS Implementer ® and works with businesses – as a teacher, facilitator and coach – to help them implement EOS® (the Entrepreneurial Operating System®). EOS is a complete, proven system with simple, practical tools to help you do 3 things we call Vision, Traction and Healthy.

VISION

Getting your leaders 100% on the same page with the vision for your organization – where you are going, and how you are planning to get there.

TRACTION®

Helping your leaders to become more focused, disciplined and accountable, executing really well to achieve every part of your vision.

HEALTHY

Helping your leaders to become a more healthy, functional, cohesive leadership team, because unfortunately, leaders often don’t function well as a team.
From there, as goes your leadership team, goes the rest of the organization. Ultimately we get to a point where your entire organization is crystal clear on your vision, all much more disciplined and accountable, executing well, gaining consistent traction towards your vision, and advancing together as a healthy, functional, cohesive group of people who enjoy spending time together.

EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System) is unique because it is easy to understand and use, and it addresses all issues rather than applying spot treatments to your business. It works in any entrepreneurial company and across all business models because the system is founded on time-tested methods and principles, not business management theories or "flavor of the month" fads. EOS was introduced to the world in 2007 in the book Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business by Gino Wickman. 

EOS is a complete system for business owners, executives and leadership teams who want faster growth, healthier teams, and greater profits but recognize they don’t have all the answers. Thousands of growing businesses across the country and around the globe leverage EOS to align their leadership team, improve accountability, and simplify their operations.

Lloyd helps organizations clarify, simplify, and achieve their vision using an easy and proven approach.

The EOS Model®

EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System) doesn’t treat symptoms – it helps you cure the "whole body" by strengthening the Six Key Components™ of your business – Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction.  The EOS Model provides a visual illustration of the Six Key Components of any business that must be managed and strengthened to be a great business. This model applies to big and small businesses alike, in any industry. 
The EOS Model
On the journey together to implement EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System), Lloyd works alongside you and your leadership team as a teacher, facilitator and coach to strengthen the Six Key Components – striving to get each to 100% strong. Truth be told, most organizations are operating somewhere around 20% strong in each of the Six Key Components – succeeding in spite of themselves.
  • 1. The VISION Component™

    The 1st Key Component is the Vision Component. Strengthening this component means getting everyone in the organization 100% on the same page with who you are, what you do, where you are going, and how you will get there..

  • 2. The PEOPLE Component™

    The 2nd Key Component is the People Component. Simply put, we can’t achieve great Vision without great people. This means surrounding yourself with great people, top to bottom. Great people are the Right People (who consistently exhibit your Core Values) who sit in the Right Seats (who have the God given talent, skills, experience, ability and desire to be great at their job).  Right People, Right Seats, you've got to have both.

  • 3. The DATA Component™

    The 3rd Key Component is the Data Component. This means cutting through all the feelings, egos and subjective emotions that opften drive decision making in an entreprenurial company and running your business on facts, figures and a handful of objective numbers that give you an absolute pulse on where things are with the organization.

  • 4. The ISSUES Component™

    The 4th Key Component is the Issues Component. Strengthening this component means becoming great at solving problems throughout the organization – setting them up, knocking them down and making them go away forever.

  • 5. The PROCESS Component™

    The 5th Key Component is the Process Component. This is the secret ingredient in your organization. This means identifying, simplifying and documenting the core processes that define your way to run your business – getting everyone on the same page with what the essential procedural steps in your core processes and then getting everyone to follow them so you create consistency and scalability in your organization. It makes it easier to mange, more profitable and more fun.

  • 6. The TRACTION Component™

    The 6th and final Key Component is the Traction Component. This means bringing discipline and accountability into the organization – becoming great at execution – taking the Vision down to the ground and executing on that Vision, day in and day out.

The EOS Process®

The EOS Process is the proven process for helping your leadership team to master the EOS Tools at the right time and in the right order – to strengthen each of the Six Key Components and take take your organization to the next level.
