EOS®, the Entrepreneurial Operating System®, is a holistic business management approach that combines proven business principles with a set of real-world tools to help businesses achieve and customers thrive.
Five years ago, R+D Custom Automation implemented EOS to help the leadership team instill focus, discipline and accountability throughout the company so that everyone executes on a shared vision.
“EOS helped R+D get aligned around a shared vision of where we wanted to go, why that was important, and how we were going to make it happen,” explained R+D CEO Loren Esch.
EOS provides a visual illustration of six key components any company must manage to become a great business. Those components include vision, people, data, issues, process and traction. EOS has made a positive change in the effectiveness of R+D’s leadership teams – a change that has been particularly valuable during the impact of the recent coronavirus pandemic.
“During COVID, EOS has helped us identify many issues as anxiety-based, so once aware of the core issue, the problem was much easier to solve,” said Esch. “The planning component enables us to leverage our inner knowledge and experience to put together a solid plan. EOS gives us the ability to get after things with greater velocity, regardless of timing or circumstances.”
EOS has been a transformational part of R+D’s growth and development. Since implementing the system, the company has gained control of their business and experienced continual improvement. Leadership has never been stronger, employees have embraced the process, and customers have been favorably impressed with the results they’ve achieved.
