How I developed the Inside-Out Growth Method

Why EOS works better with the right foundation

After 15 years as an operations executive and nearly a decade as an EOS integrator, I've seen what makes the difference between EOS that transforms companies and EOS that struggles to take hold.

EOS is powerful. The framework works. I've implemented it successfully across six companies, driving two of those implementations for four years each. But through that experience, I discovered something critical.

The companies where EOS thrived had something in common - strong operational foundations. The ones that struggled? They were trying to build on shaky ground.

The breakthrough came when I started combining my COO experience with my EOS implementation. Instead of just implementing the framework, I began fixing the operational foundations first. The results were dramatic.

Level 10 meetings became problem-solving powerhouses instead of complaint sessions. Accountability Charts actually clarified roles because the underlying structure supported them. Scorecards drove the right behaviors because operations could respond to the metrics.

I wasn't changing EOS - I was creating the conditions for it to succeed.

That's when I developed the Inside-Out Growth Method. It's EOS implementation enhanced by deep operational expertise. Think of it as EOS with a COO's perspective built in.

The method works in three flowing phases:

Pressure Analysis. Before touching any EOS tools, I diagnose where operations actually break under growth pressure. My COO experience helps me spot patterns most people miss.

Foundation Rebuild. I strengthen the operational structure so EOS tools can work as designed. This isn't about different frameworks - it's about creating solid ground for EOS to stand on.

Reinforced Expansion. We implement the full EOS system, but now it's supported by rock-solid operations. The tools work brilliantly because they have the foundation they need.

The difference is perspective. Having been both a COO and an EOS Integrator, I see both sides - the framework's power and the operational realities that determine its success.

Most implementations focus on the framework alone. I focus on the framework plus the foundation. It's not that traditional EOS implementation is wrong - it's that adding operational foundation work makes it exponentially more effective.

Companies that go through the Inside-Out approach don't just implement EOS - they implement EOS that sticks. The framework gets adopted faster, works more smoothly, and delivers better results because we've removed the structural barriers first.

This isn't about being a better EOS Integrator - it's about being an EOS Integrator with COO experience who ensures the framework has everything it needs to succeed.

If you're considering EOS or want to get more from your current implementation, the Inside-Out Growth Method gives you EOS plus the operational foundation that makes it unstoppable.

The framework remains powerful. The foundation makes it possible.
