Скачать или смотреть Why Execution Fails After the Deal Closes

After the thrill of closing a search fund deal, reality probably hit you pretty hard.

You inherited a team you didn’t build, an industry you’re learning, and a business running on tribal knowledge and fire drills. Everyone is looking to you for direction, but no one’s aligned on what matters most.

A recent Yale study shows this is common for first-time CEOs. You share the vision (serve 400 clients, grow by 100), but if you ask your team what they’re working toward, you’ll hear vague responses like “helping customers.”

The disconnect between strategy and execution is real.

Without structure, accountability becomes optional. Problems get patched instead of solved. Metrics offer little insight. And goals constantly take a backseat to urgent distractions.

This is why companies need a Business Operating System.

Whether it’s EOS or another proven model, a BOS brings order to the chaos: clear priorities, right people in the right seats, weekly accountability, simple Scorecards, and long-term solutions that stick.

Yale’s research shows the best time to implement one is 6 to 24 months after acquisition. Without it, you risk losing time, trust, and traction.

Smart leaders don’t scale chaos; they install systems that create clarity.
