EOS

Cost. A five-figure investment in year one, charged per session day.
Suits. Companies of roughly 10 to 250 people adopting their first operating system.
Pinnacle
Sessions. Quarterly and annual sessions, with the toolset tailored to the business.
Cost. Comparable to an experienced EOS Implementer: five figures for most companies.
Suits. Mature teams, often graduates of a prescriptive system, who want the discipline with customized machinery.
How to choose a guide
- Certification level. Confirm the certification on their profile matches the official roster, and ask how long they have held it.
- Industries served. Ask for two examples of companies like yours and what changed in the first year.
- References from both seats. Talk to a Visionary and an Integrator they have guided. The two seats experience a guide very differently.
- In person or virtual. Most run sessions online and travel for key days. Decide what your leadership team actually needs.
- Fit with your leadership team. One session will tell you. The right guide makes the hardest conversation in the room easier, not softer.
Common questions
What does the first year with a guide in Ontario usually involve?
Roughly five full session days spread across the year for EOS, or quarterly planning sessions plus coaching for Scaling Up, Pinnacle and System & Soul. The leadership team does the work between sessions; the guide teaches and facilitates.
Do I need an implementer or can we self-implement?
You can self-implement, and many companies do. An implementer earns their fee in the hard parts, like accountability conversations and people decisions, that self-implementing teams tend to skip.
How much does an EOS Implementer cost in Ontario?
Expect a five-figure investment in year one, charged per session day, with about five session days in the first year. Fees vary by implementer experience more than by location, so compare two or three before deciding.
