A business management framework created by Gino Wickman built on six components: Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, Traction. Operationalized through L10 meetings, 90-day Rocks, weekly Scorecards, the Accountability Chart, and IDS problem-solving. Many EOS concepts map directly to AI agent coordination.
Why it matters
EOS gave operators a vocabulary for human team coordination. AI agent teams need the same vocabulary, and most of it transfers directly.
