Progressing Through EOS – Part 3: New Beginning

Here we are at the final stage of organizational change—new beginning. In the first two parts of this series, we discussed how a Leadership Team and an entire organization may initially feel a sense of loss as EOS®is introduced, and with time everyone will enter the neutral zone where learning starts to take place.

The new beginning is the point at which people understand EOS®, and the tools make sense and are in use throughout the organization. Everyone understands the organization’s Core Values, the Vision, how the organization will achieve that Vision, and their respective role in moving the organization forward. 

In the new beginning stage, the organization has accepted EOS®as its operating system, and the Leadership Team’s mind is more at ease. The organization is more fun—and more profitable. Keep in mind people will periodically get stuck, hit a stumbling block—it’s only natural as we learn new material. Be sure to reinforce teaching where needed, without any sense of criticism.

It’s important to remember that each person will move through the stages of organizational change at their own pace. The organizations that receive the intended value from EOS®are those that internalize every aspect of EOS®, and that takes time.

How much time? I can’t tell you how much time. There is no specific date to which a Leadership Team or an organization can point and say “Aha, we have operationalized EOS®.”

EOS®is a process, and you often need the support of someone who knows the system to guide you through the phases and to hold you accountable. That’s where an EOS Implementer™ comes in. We help you see the value of EOS®and how it can work in your company, and we stand by your side and cheer you on when you accomplish your goals.
