Kutztown University – McFarland Student Union Building
8:00 am - 11:30 am
Run Smoother. Grow Faster. Work Less.
Gravitas, Scaling Up, and EOS (or similar business operating systems) create structure—but not solutions for strategic depth, organizational health, leadership development, or family complexity. Learn how to turn structure into sustainable, transferable value—without burning out the founder or the family.
- Structure is needed, but it’s table stakes. Business operating systems are a great wrench, but not the whole toolbox.
- In this workshop you will learn how to build a business that produces predictable, repeatable performance without 80-hour weeks
- A leadership team of A-Players driving culture, organizational health, and execution
- Processes to eliminate chaos and confusion
- Simple financial models and tools to drive profit and business value
- Business model design that drives innovation in any business
- Emotional ownership, sibling rivalry, protecting relationships and stewarding a legacy…with more owner independence
Your Business Isn’t Just a System — It’s a Living Thing
Organizational health, culture, and family dynamics aren’t on the V/TO — but they’re either fueling your growth or silently sabotaging it. Join our January 27 workshop facilitated by Tom Garrity, Managing Partner of Compass Point, to learn how to make your business easier to run, generate more profits, and become a family legacy
