“Late last summer I had a client that was struggling to break through the barrier and speaking with the Visionary we realized it was particularly tied to the current Integrator. I reached out to the EOS® community and was recommended to speak with GCE Strategic Consulting. After connecting with them I introduced them to my client who hired GCE. I found their approach and proven process to drive results was rock solid. They were quickly able to come in and both identify the problem areas and course correct yielding results that were shockingly immediate. Since then I have introduced them to several other clients and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to take things to the next level. As Gino has said very valuable resources to have in the EOS® Community!”

"I hired GCE to come in and literally help us start a company from scratch due to my strong commitment to EOS® and GCE Strategic Consulting’s reputation in the business community. Our product launch targets Visionaries and Integrators to help them form healthier, more productive relationships. During the process, GCE helped us fill out our leadership team, set up our basic business structure along with our advisory board, and use this proven system to gain traction while remaining healthy. I interviewed almost every integrator on the list, I encourage anyone in this system to reach out to GCE."

Our Process
6 Steps to EOS® Excellence
1. Introduction & Intake
We start with an intake call to understand your business’s strengths and challenges and gauge our compatibility. Our initial consultation gives you a chance to evaluate if our services are a good fit for your organization.
2. Current Positioning
These initial calls give us insight into the current state of EOS® in your organization as well as your Wants/Needs/Impacts you hope to achieve. We use your insight to develop a holistic view of your company’s current position.
3. Exploration
Curating our services to your needs is our top priority. By understanding your goals and pain points, we assign the best-suited Fractional Integrator to your case. Diving into your organization’s background and your specific requests, they begin by compiling a selection of potential next steps.
4. Design
After touching base with your team, the Fractional Integrator maps out the steps for your agreed-upon solution, establishing a strategy for your company. Our approach tackles the efficiency of the people, processes, and systems within your organization.
5. Implementation
With EOS® tools and organizational leadership expertise, the Fractional Integrator will begin to execute the plan. First, they will develop a comprehensive understanding of your organization through one-on-one meetings and taking charge of L-10 meetings. Calling upon GAP analysis and the insight from other team members, they will optimize their approach to working with your team, translating strategy into tangible results.
6. Check-In & Refinement
Every quarter, attend a Same Page Meeting (SPM) with Ken to make necessary adjustments and continue to execute against the plan. Then, at the six-month milestone, we conduct a comprehensive company/customer review, alongside a systems and process evaluation, ensuring alignment with your strategic goals.
