Entrepreneurial Operating System

In three words:  Real. Simple. Results. EOS®, the Entrepreneurial Operating System®, is a comprehensive business system, integrating a holistic business model with a complete set of simple business tools and a proven business process to align and synchronize all the pieces of your business to produce the results you want. EOS will help you do three things we call vision, traction and healthy:

 Vision®:  First getting the leaders of your business 100% on the same page with the vision for your organization: who you are, what you do, where you are going and how you will get there.

 Traction®:  Helping your leaders to become more disciplined and accountable, executing consistently to do things well and achieve every piece of your vision.

 Healthy:  Helping your leaders to become a healthy, functional, cohesive leadership team, because leaders often don’t function well together as a team. From there, as goes your leadership team so goes the rest of your organization. You get to the point where your entire organization is focused, engaged, sharing a common vision, disciplined, accountable, executing well and advancing as a healthy, functional, cohesive team.

 Denison has identified four key drivers of high performance—mission, adaptability, involvement and consistency—that indicate where to focus. The Denison Culture Model measures these four drivers reflected in four primary colors. Simply put, the more color, the better the results.

Take a demo survey to understand more. Then be in touch with us. We can help you do the work of transformation in your firm. It’s an exciting process that generates real results…right to the bottom line.

Through the cumulative responses from the survey, you will gain insight on questions like:

• Does your team understand your mission and where you’re headed?
• Do they believe the firm can stay competitive and adapt to changes in the market?
• Are your people involved, and do they feel they have the training they need?
• Are your values clear and being lived out through consistent processes?

The baseline survey gives you statistical feedback against a global benchmark. Based on insight from this data, you can then confidently take action to improve your performance.

Additional survey modules are available to test trust, innovation, engagement, risk, safety and commitment.

 Importantly, the Denison Leadership Development 360 is a developmental tool. By providing data-based feedback, this instrument allows leaders to compare their own ratings to those of coworkers and to identify gaps in perceived strengths,   weaknesses, and capabilities.

 Denison uses normative scoring to present survey results. We compare your survey data to our global database of over 14,000 leaders (from a wide variety of industries, job functions, management levels and tenures) and tabulate graphical profiles–represented in a Summary Report–that convey the results in percentile scores.

Organizations have used the Denison Leadership Development 360 to help their leaders to:

• Identify specific areas of individual strength and weakness, and establish an action plan for leadership development
• Understand group-level leadership strengths and weaknesses
• Learn how specific skills and practices impact their leadership performance
• Develop leadership skills necessary to adapt to a changing environment
• Understand their role in creating a high-performance culture

The two-day Trusted Leader = Character Infused Leadership program is focused on enabling you to step up to be a trusted transformational leader. This unique leadership development program commences by drawing from curriculum delivered at the Leadership Institute of the Ivey School of Business, Canada/UK/Hong Kong which is focused on the 3 C’s of Leadership – Character, Competency and Commitment. We move beyond the 3C’s and delve into focusing on the power of trust that will enable your organization to heighten performance at all levels.

Starting with a Leader Character Insights Assessment and a one-on-one debrief, the two days will focus on leadership development to achieve the following goals:
