There’s Power In Kolbe & EOS Working Together.
At The Instinctive Advantage, we partner with EOS Implementer Community to impact team productivity. With years of Kolbe experience, we help organizations who are implementing EOS find the right person for the right seat. Whether you’re an EOS implementer or a business owner implementing EOS, we’d love to connect to show you the power of Kolbe and EOS working together.
Why EOS Implementers Are Choosing the Kolbe System.
While EOS facilitates a company's approach, process and goal creation, the Kolbe index explains how every person can engage in an effort to make the ideas happen. Kolbe Corp has identified 3 reasons why companies running on EOS use the Kolbe System.
Predicting how your people get things done.
The Kolbe A™ Index will teach you how each of your employees take action, and in turn, how to align your quarterly rocks, to-dos, and systems around their requirements. Being able to predict how your teams work will allow you to better facilitate the business (keeping it functional and healthy). At The Instinctive Advantage, we find that EOS-based businesses that mirror Kolbe and EOS together, find quicker paths to productivity and growth.
Putting the right people in the right seats.
Having the right people is instrumental in your organization’s growth. Unfortunately, most organizations hire based on talent not based on instinct and talent. You see, while you need tangible skills for your roles, you also need roles that align with how people instinctively function. For example, if a specific role requires someone to define their work output every day, you’ll want to hire someone who’s instincts don’t require much initial direction (they’ll be fine starting with fewer details). There are many ways this can play out in a work environment, but it’s really just important to understand this: the right hire is the one who fills a need and fits the role.
Quickly improving communication and collaboration.
Whether you’re in a weekly L10 or a quarterly planning meeting, you’ll be prepared to facilitate conversation and collaboration if you understand your team’s instincts. For example, if your team is high on the quickstart, you may opt for more conversation-focused ideation. If they are higher on the fact-finder, you may be required to present data and analytics for that same conversation. By understanding your team’s innate need for space and tangibles, you’ll be able to better facilitate conversation and collaboration.
“Kolbe is one of the tools we teach in EOS. When I have a team doing the Kolbe assessment, I always get a team assessment in advance of the session from The Instinctive Advantage. Because they are steeped in Kolbe every day there is a depth and an appreciation for it that I cannot provide on my own. Their coaching and counsel position me to be better prepared, ask better questions and provide a better experience for my clients. I have no hesitation in referring The Instinctive Advantage.”

How Visionaries & Integrators Who Are Implementing EOS Can Better Understand Themselves And Their Team Members
The Entrepreneurial Operating System, EOS for short, is a set of practical tools and concepts used by over 100,000 companies around the globe to simplify, clarify and attain their vision. With the Kolbe System serving as the endorsed tool of EOS Worldwide, there is a natural overlap between these two worlds. EOS sets the vision, but Kolbe provides the baseline understanding of the individuals charged to establish that vision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we involve our remote/hybred employees in the Kolbe process?
By incorporating the Kolbe A™ Index within your team and process, you will immediately have more clarity of who you’re working with, even in the absence of a shared workspace. This occurs, because individuals and teams receive a scientific perspective of each other’s instinctual foundation, which can supplement how we’ve traditionally gotten to know each other on deeper levels (by being in close proximity).
What will I do with my Kolbe Score?
When you fully understand how you take action instinctually, you can put yourself and your team members in situations that align with your core. This can help individuals evaluate organizations they are looking to work for, as well as helping organizations assess employees they are looking to hire. Ultimately, the Kolbe score is utilized to create situations where individuals and teams can be more productive, together.
