Eric’s Topics

Executing strategy is challenging, requiring alignment on goals and a shared understanding of success, often represented by a scorecard with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). However, scorecard implementations fail over 70% of the time. Many organizations have struggled with SMART goals or Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAGs) without achieving alignment. Designing effective scorecards is both a science, using a predictable process to create metrics that track strategy, and an art, as they must engage and align people to drive success. This program teaches how to design and implement scorecards that reflect coherent strategies and mobilize organizations toward their objectives.

Scalability is about mindset, not just resources—specifically, an adaptability mindset. Organizations are complex, living systems that can grow and adapt, and developing this capacity is a leader’s primary role when preparing to scale. Eric Kish, who has led 12 companies across 7 industries and 3 continents over 22 years, developed the Intent Driven Management™ methodology, inspired by a 200-year-old military leadership style successfully practiced by the IDF. This program introduces the Intent Driven Management™ philosophy and its methodology for building and sustaining scalability in any organization.

An organization is ready when its people know what to do and are proficient in doing it.
This program introduces to concept of Path to Readiness, a process that makes your organization ready to deliver on its promises and makes it resilient against loss of knowledge when people leave the organization. The Path to Readiness process is a systematic approach to build and maintain Organizational Readiness.

Organizations face four key inflection points as they grow. The first, at 20 employees, requires formalizing roles and establishing proficiency standards to guide on-the-job training. At 50 employees, Scale Knowledge becomes crucial, shifting focus to capturing knowledge through scalable methods like online courses. The third point, Scale Performance at 100 employees, emphasizes systematic feedback to align with strategic goals. Finally, at 150 employees, Scaling Compensation addresses engagement issues by adjusting compensation based on market data and performance. This workshop provides tools to navigate these growth challenges.
