Testimonials

I appreciate your ability to create healthy debate within our team. You ask good questions and encourage us to draw our own conclusions while pushing us past the status quo. When we leave our meetings it feels like the team is aligned even if we didn’t all agree on everything.
Dan Thrasher, ThrasherPresident​
Dan Thrasher, Thrasher
It has been great to have someone from outside the organization to ask us challenging questions and to get us to think about things differently outside of what we have done in the past. Kris isn’t afraid to challenge us which in some cases as confirmed that the direction we have been going is the direction we want to continue to go and in other situations has resulted in us needing to change some things up.
Nick Rohe, Thrasher Vice President​

Kris was helpful in navigating our leadership team through our exploration and orientation to EOS and then walked us through the implementation process. He helped us tackle challenging issues, improve candor among team members, and adapt to the EOS model.
Brian Hastings, University of Nebraska FoundationPresident & CEO
Brian Hastings, University of Nebraska Foundation
Kris has done a fantastic job as our EOS implementer. He brings a great perspective to our strategic planning because of his own personal business experience. He knows when to challenge us, he knows when someone is holding back and he does a great job bringing out the best solutions from our team.

The 3rd Party facilitation is key. It allows for more focused, open, honest conversation. Creating a better outcome for all involved.
Jeff Barclay, Your VenueOwner
Jeff Barclay, Your Venue
Kris has been a phenomenal facilitator, and we have zero intention to try and do this on our own; I believe it’s imperative to have a 3rd party pushing us all – me included. We run into a number of shops that say they are “doing Traction”, but they are really bastardizing the process by doing such things as adding yellow to their scorecards or not running true L10 meetings. Process only works when it is followed – we are diligent about following the Traction process and it works!
James Foxall, TigerpawPresident & CEO
James Foxall, Tigerpaw
Kris is engaging and thoughtful, and his guidance sparked a way of interacting that has helped our organization become more productive. We’ve undergone considerable growth, and Kris has established a structure that is helping us scale up sustainably by instilling accountability. We reassessed our values, created new 1-, 3-, and 10-year plans, and have enhanced our marketing strategy. Kris has helped us become a more finely-tuned group with clear priorities and objectives.
Nikki Osborn, Meridian Clinical ResearchOwner

Kris Kluver has been a real pleasure to work with giving me much value. Through the coaching I have been able to keep attention on the things that are important, not just urgent. Kris has pushed me, in a very positive and encouraging way, to focus on high goals and aspirations, while keeping me grounded and providing both excellent advice and encouragement around very practical issues.

We met Kris almost a year after trying to implement the EOS system ourselves without much success and wished we had met him sooner! Kris did an amazing job of quickly bringing our entire team up to speed and lay the fundamental groundwork needed to make the process a success. In a very short period of time, Kris helped our team take great strides as well as accelerate the momentum to propel us to the next level. We are excited to see our vision and management team align so powerfully. Thanks Kris!

Lack of focus/accountability on organizational goals. Everyone has a full-time “day job”, focusing all of their energy on individual or departmental goals. As a result, so many great organization-wide ideas never got traction. EOS puts our focus firmly on organizational priorities and accountabilities.
Dave Bushey, MarcottePresident
Dave Bushey, Marcotte
Our EOS journey has been customized to accommodate our unique business. When implementing an EOS tool in it’s true form didn’t make sense for our organization, we customized the tool to fit our needs. We still struggle with some classic business issues, but we have been able to solve other issues and decrease the negative impact of even more issues. Your role as the EOS implementer has forced some hard conversations that might not have happened without you.
Maggie Templin, AOIController

I'd advise thinking of implementing EOS as a process and Kris as your coach. You don't just need to win a game. You have to keep getting better. You'll constantly look back and be amazed at far you've come...and then you'll do it again! It's an amazing experience, and I'm thankful for Kris's awesome guidance in this process. We've grown in revenue, increased our profit by many percentage points, and are an overall healthier, happier company.
Jessica Small, Custom Blinds & DesignFormer Integrator & Managing Director

Before the leadership team started to follow EOS we had meetings that lasted all day. The meetings were a whirlwind of ideas and ways to improve our company but rarely effective for moving forward on real issues. The thing I like best about EOS as a whole is that it has been a critical part of getting our real issues out in the open. And by getting them out in the open, we are able to address them.
