The Entrepreneurial Operating System: An Insider’s Perspective
EOS continues to be one of the hottest movements in the world of business. Companies of all shapes and sizes have turned to this simple (but not easy) methodology outlined in the book Traction by Gino Wickman. The popularity and success of the system lies within its ability to help organizations articulate their vision and strategy and perhaps even more importantly, how to execute on that strategy.
Practitioner turned coach, Michele will explain the mechanics of the system and lend insight into what it’s really like to use EOS inside a company. Her family’s commercial roofing business, Mint Roofing, has been using the system since 2011. Michele began coaching EOS in 2017 to help other organizations to scale and grow their businesses.
