The Practical CMO


A Realistic Evaluation of EOS® - What it does and doesn't do for your business.

March 24, 2020

Many consider EOS®/Traction to be a best practice management discipline. Many small- and mid-sized businesses have adopted Traction to beef up their management processes as it provides a structured approach to aligning and prioritizing key initiatives and projects.As a process, Traction doesn’t have a mechanism for developing actual content. For example, Traction implementation requires content like a one-page Marketing plan and a ten-year plan. Traction works best when paired with great content like that generated from planning approaches such as Horizon Growth, which is a best practice for planning your future revenue and profit streams.This program is an honest evaluation of what EOS®/Traction can and cannot do for your business.The follow-on program will discuss how you can generate the content required to have a more effective Traction implementation. Together, these two programs will provide practical approaches with a goal of continuous improvement—one through improved planning for future growth and the second through improved execution.Additional resources referred to in this program can be found here:Original Article was written by the Host: https://www.chiefoutsiders.com/blog/horizon-growth-planningTraction: Get a Grip on Your Business: https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Get-Grip-Your-Business/dp/B00A9Z973M.The Practical CMO is sponsored by Chief Outsiders.
