Install and Hope? Not Anymore.

Private equity loves operational leverage. That’s why EOS® gets rolled out across portfolio companies—it’s structured, scalable, and promises accountability at every level.

So you install it.
Leadership teams are trained.
The tools are in place.
And then?

You hope.

You hope it sticks.
You hope culture improves.
You hope structure tightens.
You hope the ROI shows up in a future quarter.

We call that strategy: Install and Hope.
And it’s not enough.

The Visibility Problem

What’s really happening on the shop floor?
Do people feel clarity or confusion?
Is your culture aligned or just compliant?
Are your leaders actually leading—or just attending meetings?

Here’s the truth: most PE firms have no way to measure what EOS is actually doing post-installation.

That means you’re flying blind on:

Organizational health
Role and structure clarity
Culture engagement
System drift over time

And if you can’t see it, you can’t fix it.

The Fix: Diagnostics First

At The BOS Garage, we don’t sell new operating systems—we tune up the ones you already have.
And the first step in every tune-up is data.

We built two diagnostic tools to give PE firms visibility they’ve never had:

BITE7™ Diagnostic – Measuring Organizational Health

Measures how employees are experiencing the Seven Critical Needs:
Belonging, Believing, Accountability, Being Heard, Measured, Developed, and Balanced.

It gives you a real-time look at engagement, trust, and culture health.

Flower Power™ Diagnostic – Measuring Structural Clarity

Reveals the structural clarity of your organization:

Do people know their roles?
Are there gaps, overlaps, or overloads?
Are your handoffs clean and your roles coached?

This diagnostic maps it all.

Action Through the Tools You Already Have

Here’s the kicker: you don’t need to install anything new.
You don’t need a new system.

You need diagnostics + tune-ups.
And you need to use the EOS tools with more intentionality, based on real data.

Stop Installing and Hoping

EOS works when it’s used well.
But without diagnostics, you’re just hoping.

If you want your portfolio companies to actually run right, not just go through the motions, let’s talk.

📍 Start with a no-hassle, freemium diagnostic test drive.
No pitch. Just visibility.
And the option to tune up if the data says it’s time.
