Why Does It Work?

BITE7™ avoids three traps that snare other employee engagement and trust systems.

BITE7™ was built to avoid the three traps that snare other Employee Engagement and Organizational Health systems, traps that cause them to fail. The BITE7 Framework™ is a field proven gamechanger – One simple seven question survey and BITE Index™ coupled with the tools of your OOS (Organizational Operating System like EOS®, Scaling Up) is how you unlock the power of your great people.

It is how you “flip the script” making your OOS Implementation for them and not to them. It is how you finally root out all of the organizational confusion and dysfunction that is holding your people back from being their best selves at work. It is how you empower your people to attract the right people while repelling the wrong ones. It is how you recapture the company you always dreamed of.

For them, not to them

BITE7 flips the script.  Your people will see your efforts as being done for and with them, not to them.  

s

SIMPLE, CONSISTENT, and COMPLETE

BITE7 is straight-forward and easy for people to wrap their heads around. Most efforts fail because they are too complex or inconsistent, always skipping around, chasing the new flavor of the month.  BITE7 is Simple, Consistent and Complete.

ACTIONABLE RESPONSE

BITE7 uses the tools and methodology of your Organizational Operating System (OOS) to build an effective, systemized, data-driven response.  Other approaches leave employees frustrated by the organization’s inability to respond to feedback. BITE7 eliminates this frustration.

The BITE7 Framework™ we’ve developed with our clients over the last twenty years is about taking action, action to protect and grow your hard-won Organizational Health. Through years of research and implementation, we have discovered that there are seven needs that must be met for all workers to buy-in, feel included, trust in their teammates, and engage with their work. BITE7 makes Organizational Health measurable, and once you can measure something, you can work on it.

Unlike other health and engagement approaches, BITE7 combines how you measure (The BITE7 Survey™) with a diagnostic tool, (The BITE Index™) that leads to action you take through The Full BITE Method™ where you leverage the tools of your Organizational Operating System* (OOS) to continuously improve.

We talk about the Seven Promises openly, and it’s part of our EOS presentation.  I stand up in front of everybody and tell them it’s my job to lead an organization where there’s a high degree of belonging, which is based on shared belief and a common understanding of who we are as a company and what we’re trying to do. We want to create a place where people understand and embrace what they’re accountable for, which comes with a commitment from the company to create great ways to measure what we do. We have ears to listen, so speak up. We’re excited about you leaning in and being able to self-develop and, ultimately, to achieve balance.

Attract or Repel

Attract or Repel is the book that birthed the BITE7 Framework.  In it, Walt brings your favorite 20,000 foot theories to the ground for practical application. In particular, he digs into four very popular schools of thought on Organizational Health: Brene Brown’s Courage, Patrick Lencioni and Don Clifton’s Trust, Gallup’s Engagement, and Google’s Psychological Safety. He breaks them down and weaves them together into Seven Simple Questions you use to survey your people and then shows you how to take action, bringing them to your organization through the tools of your OOS, like EOS®, Scaling Up, Pinnacle etc.
