Our practice is currently implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System, or EOS, as we scale. My intent is to chronicle this journey in relative real-time, providing you all with an inside look into the process. Warning: this will be messy! I hope to keep it as real as possible, and sometimes “real” means complicated and challenging. This series is admittedly more relevant for larger group practice owners, but the principles are applicable across all levels of business. Today is the third episode in the series. I’m talking about the aftermath of the Focus Day and our attempt to actually implement some of the EOS tools for the first time in our practice. Enjoy!
