Your EOS® Rollout will fail because your people will see it as being doneNot for them. You must flip the script.
Your Rollout is a Promise.
This is how you flip the script, making EOS® for your people not to them.
Example: “Everyone, today I’m making a promise to you. We are going to build one single unified Company—one team, one culture—where you are surrounded by people who belong, who believe, who are accountable and measured, heard and developed, and balanced. A drama-free place to do meaningful work.
We will keep this promise by using a proven business operating system called EOS®. Together, we’ll use its tools to create the company—and the culture—you deserve.”
My clients and I follow the EOS Proven Process
Below is a timeline that details the rollout steps and timing inside the EOS Proven Process.
Pre Rollout Rock - Administer the BITE7 SURVEY™
The quarter before we plan to teach LMA I have the team set up and administer the BITE7 Survey 30 days before their next quarterly.
We typically allow two weeks for all employesss to complete the survey.
Our goal is 100% participation – that is where the gold is.
Timing: Often in VB2 or at the first Quarterly
LMA™ is taught
We teach LMA to the leadership team using the results of the BITE7 Survey to create “The Why” context. We review the Leadership and Management Checklists with The Seven Critical Needs and the survey results as the backdrop.
With LMA comes the final piece – The Quarterly Conversation. The quarterly conversation is introduced as one of the tools we point to when we roll out EOS on top of the Seven Promises.
review survey results, determine SOC timing create rollout messaging on the survey Results
Rollout Rock - 1st State of the Company scheduled - Rollout Message Clear on top of BITE Survey Results
Rolling EOS out on top of the survey results gives your promises meaning.
During the rollout state of the company meeting you share the survey results and make your promise speach.
Twice a Year BITE7 Survey, Debrief and plan share with company
EOS is a Promise keeping program.
Your Rollout Promise sounds like this: “Everyone, I am making a promise to you. I promise to surround you with people who know they Belong, who Believe in what we are doing, who understand and embrace how they are Accountable to themselves, to you and to everyone else, who get how they are Measured, who actively share their thoughts and want to be Heard, who always have an attitude of growth and want to be Developed and who are free of drama because they are Balanced. This is the kind of organization I always dreamed of and the one, with your help, I intend to build and protect.”
The BITE7 Survey™ addresses these four areas:
-
7 Employee Engagement Questions
-
7 Things Millennials want from work
-
7 Truths, why EOS® and Scaling up work and don’t work.
- 7 Truths around where you need help in your EOS Implementation.
To be effective, your employee engagement effort must address these 3 things:
- It must be Simple and Consistent – fewer questions are better, always the same.
- It must map clearly to the tools of an operating system like EOS @.
- It must be seen by your employees as something being done for them, not to them.
