How to reboot your EOS Implementation. Walt Brown
I often work with companies who have graduated from another EOS Implementer – they are looking to recharge thier EOS Implementation.
Below are the steps I follow to take action, to get EOS rolling again.
I call it the “Continuous Re-Rollout”
Context: I am the 3rd EOS Implementer, I have graduated over 187 companies from the program. Yes, that is more than any other Implementer. And, what that means is I have seen my early clients implementations go flat, I have the disappointing scars!
These failures made me dig in and challenge the status quo, the status quo that does not work, to develop repeatable solutions to fix this problem.
The common failures:
-
- We fail because we do not have a way to effectively communicate the EOS why for our employees, we can not answer the WIIFM question. What’s In It For Me?
- We fail because we do not have a methodical way to keep the message strong over the long haul, EOS and The Why lose steam.
Below are the three simple steps.
Administer the BITE7 SURVEY™ before your next quarterly
BITE7 Certified Coach Dawson helps my clients setup their BITE7 Survey account and send their first survey out to your employees.
BITE7 Certified Coaches help you with survey messaging scripting and checkin throughout the survey period.
We typically allow two weeks for all employesss to complete the survey.
Our goal is 100% participation – that is where the gold is. Your coach will help you dig for it.
See example of the cover page of your report below.
review survey results, Create a plan, create messaging
State of the Company scheduled - Re-Rollout Message Clear on top of BITE Survey Results
I help my clients with this messaging.
You will add a section in your State of the Company meeting to share the BITE7 Survey results with the company.
Sharing of the survey results will create the context for your plan. You will say, “We are weak in Heard, so we are going to really focus on stonger IDS…” The plans will tie to strengthening of tool usage 95% of the time.
They will understand the Why, but, more importantly, leadership will see the pattern and understand that EOS is how we make sure our people align with The Seven Critical Needs.
To Belong
To Believe
To Be Accountable
To Be Measured
To Be Heard
To Be Developed
To Be Balanced
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. A promise I plan to keep with your help. 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.
