From founder to CEO - EOS is the secret

What is unique about Gino's EOS Method?

Additionally, the forms used in the scaling-up method are accessible using a form where you get the links sent via email.

One of the unique features of the EOS Method is its focus on integrating all aspects of a business - people, data, and strategy - to create a cohesive, high-performing organization. It also uses a simple, easy-to-use system that consists of six key components: vision, people, data, issues, process, and traction. 

The EOS Method also uses the V/TO (Vision/Traction Organizer) tool, which is a simple and effective way to create a clear vision for the company and track progress toward it. This tool creates a one-page document outlining the company's vision, values, mission, five-year goals, and three-year objectives.

It is the simplest of all coaching methods and a good starting point for a startup with a very small team. It is questionable though if it would meet the challenges and demands of more established businesses.

It is also supported by a comprehensive library of resources, including books, videos, and online training programs.

The resources consist of 16 Tools.

 Company Scorecard

If VTO is to change the business, the scorecard is to run the business.
