What is the difference between EOS® and Organizational ReWilding?
We’ve been asked this question a lot. You may have even wondered about the answer yourself. This blog describes both consulting methodologies, and how they can work together in a business.
EOS - The Entrepreneurial Operating System®
EOS is an operating system that helps businesses run more efficiently.
EOS is an operating system focused on execution; it is not diagnostic or predictive.
EOS has a standard approach for all businesses — the process of implementing the operating system.
EOS focuses on creating repeatable operational rhythms that help organizations gain traction in the organization.
EOS is implemented once, then revisited quarterly.
EOS primarily focuses on the operational activities of the business.
Organizational ReWilding
Organizational ReWilding is a growth methodology that helps businesses understand and master the rules of growth.
Organizational ReWilding diagnoses issues, prescribes solutions, and predicts what will be coming as the organization grows.
Solutions are based on a business’ Stage of Growth and findings identified by a personalized ReWild Business Assessment.
Organizational ReWilding identifies key elements missing in the organization and infuses those elements through structured consulting engagements. The 11 elements cover Strategy, Culture, Leadership, and Infrastructure.
Infusing Organizational ReWilding elements into a business provides the organization with principles, tools, and methods that can be used ongoing. There is no requirement for ongoing engagement from a ReWilder.
Organizational ReWilding facilitates the critical thinking needed to strengthen the strategy and tactics of an organization, which have a ripple effect into the operations.
Organizational ReWilding and EOS
Organizational ReWilding complements EOS by providing specific solutions that help a business spend time on critical thinking and strategy. Any business that has used EOS can also find value from Organizational ReWilding. A business owner who has implemented EOS would benefit most from packages that work ON the business, like these:
Strong Management Team ensures the organization is led with a shared vision and common language. The Exceptional Manager Program instills the skills and mindset that grow the management team into the backbone of an exceptional business. The result is a cohesive management team that understands the business and is capable of owning more responsibility.
Business Development Structure helps generate consistent and growing revenue through structure. This package infuses key structures into the business development functions (marketing, sales, and customer service) to ensure the company can reply on repeatable methods instead of specific individuals.
Business Model architects a business to be more resilient and profitable. This package facilitates the critical thinking needed to make sure the business is headed in the right strategic and tactical direction.
Business Growth Framework which creates organizational alignment to pursue growth by ensuring the management team understands a shared perspective on how businesses grow. This package identifies areas of misalignment and selects initiatives to ensure an organization is aligned with the rules of growth.
Business owners will also benefit from the ReWild Business Assessment, which provides a wholistic view of the businesses that informs what planning and operational initiatives are worked on in the quarterly EOS meetings.
