EIS™

Enterprise Impact Score™ — Proprietary Framework

A new lens for
organizational value.

The EIS™ was built to answer a question traditional performance systems cannot: who in your organization is contributing more than their title shows — and what happens when they leave?

The Problem It Solves

What your current
systems cannot see.

Most performance management tools — Lattice, Workday, 15Five — are sophisticated versions of the same question: did you hit your number? Did your manager rate you well? Did you complete your goals on time?

None of them capture the person whose relationships keep three accounts from churning. None of them see the person who onboards every new hire informally and cuts turnover by 30% without a title change. None of them measure the person who translated between two warring departments for two years — until they left and everything fell apart.

01

Connective Value

Measures how an individual functions as organizational infrastructure. This dimension captures the invisible work of cohesion — the people who hold teams together, prevent conflict from escalating, and ensure that information, energy, and trust move across the organization effectively.

High connective value is almost never reflected in performance reviews. It is almost always reflected in what happens after someone leaves.

"She had a 'meets expectations' rating for three consecutive years. When she left, we lost two team members in the following quarter and still don't fully understand why."
02

Strategic Reach

Evaluates contribution that extends beyond an individual's formal role and documented responsibilities. This includes relationships that generate pipeline, influence that shapes decisions at levels above their title, and market visibility that positions the organization in conversations it wasn't invited into.

Strategic reach is the dimension most likely to be attributed to someone else — or to luck — when it goes unexamined.

"He was technically an account manager. Realistically, he was the reason we had a presence in the Southeast. That region went quiet within six months of his departure."
03

Mission Alignment

Assesses how deeply an individual advances the organization's purpose in their day-to-day behavior — not just in formal goal-setting. This dimension identifies the people who embody and transmit culture, who mentor without being asked, and who define what the organization stands for from the inside out.

Mission-aligned contributors are often the last people an organization thinks to retain — until the culture they built quietly disappears.

"Every person she mentored in her first five years at the company is still here. No one in leadership ever connected that to her. Now she's gone and we're wondering why culture 'feels different.'"
The Assessment

How the EIS™
diagnostic works.

01

Organizational Discovery

We begin with leadership interviews and informal network analysis — mapping influence, information flow, and relational infrastructure before a single formal assessment is administered. This ensures the diagnostic reflects how your organization actually functions, not how it appears on paper.

02

Multi-Dimensional Assessment

The EIS™ assessment deploys 27 judgment-eliciting dimensions across the three EIS pillars — designed to surface patterns of contribution that direct questioning consistently misses. The instrument takes 20 to 25 minutes per participant and is administered within the advisory engagement.

03

Board-Ready Brief

Findings are synthesized into a confidential strategic brief identifying invisible contributors, quantifying their organizational value, and providing specific recommendations for retention, recognition, and succession planning. Designed for use at the executive or board level.

Privacy Architecture

The EIS™ assessment does not store data externally. All responses remain within the engagement context only. The final brief is the sole record of the engagement. This architecture is intentional — the work involves sensitive decisions about real people, and discretion is not a policy. It is the product.
