What is EOS?
EOS stands for the Entrepreneurial Operating System — a set of tools and practices that help Unicis stay focused, aligned, and executing on our vision. It is the operating system for how we run the company.
If you are new to EOS, do not worry. This page explains the core concepts in plain language.

The Six Components of EOS
EOS is built on six components that form a complete management system. At Unicis, we have documented all six in the handbook.
| Component | What it means | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Vision | Where we are going and why — our purpose, values, and long-term targets. | V/TO page |
| People | Having the right people in the right seats. | Leadership page |
| Data | Measuring what matters with objective numbers, not gut feel. | Scorecard page |
| Issues | Surfacing and solving problems systematically. | Traction page |
| Process | Documenting how we do things so we can be consistent. | Core Processes |
| Traction | Turning vision into execution through Rocks and meetings. | Traction page |
How Unicis Uses EOS Daily
EOS is not a theoretical framework — it is part of every week at Unicis. Here is how it shows up:
Weekly: Level 10 Meeting (L10)
Every Monday at 10:00 CET, the team meets for 90 minutes to review the Scorecard, check progress on Rocks, and solve issues using the IDS (Identify-Discuss-Solve) method. The meeting follows a fixed agenda — no surprises, no tangents.
→ Full details on the L10 meeting.
Quarterly: Quarterly Session
Every 3 months, the leadership team spends a half-day reviewing the V/TO, assessing Rocks (Done or Not Done), and setting new priorities for the next quarter.
Annually: Annual Planning
Once a year, the leadership team rewrites the V/TO, sets the Annual Rocks, and reviews the 3-Year Picture.
Ongoing: Scorecard
Every week, each metric owner updates their number on the Scorecard. Green means on track. Red means it goes on the Issues List for the next L10 meeting.
Key EOS Terms
If you hear these terms in meetings, here is what they mean:
| Term | Quick definition |
|---|---|
| Rock | A quarterly priority. SMART. Either Done or Not Done at quarter end. |
| V/TO | Vision/Traction Organizer — our single-page plan. |
| L10 | The weekly 90-minute execution meeting. |
| IDS | Identify, Discuss, Solve — how we resolve issues. |
| Scorecard | Weekly business health numbers with one owner per metric. |
| Issues List | A running list of everything that needs solving. |
| **Accountability Chart** | Who is in which seat, with clear responsibilities. |
| Rocks, Sand, Pebbles | Rocks = quarterly priorities. Sand = daily tasks. Pebbles = smaller projects. Big rocks first. |

What EOS Is Not
- It is not a cult. It is a practical toolkit.
- It is not rigid. We adapt it to our size and context.
- It is not for micromanagement. It creates clarity so everyone can work autonomously.
- It is not about more meetings. The L10 replaces ad-hoc status meetings with one structured hour.
