I’m Roger Scherping, and I was an Integrator before the book was written SM. According to the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS® or Traction®), an Integrator helps the Visionary (owner) of a business achieve his/her vision for the company by: ► Clarifying the vision ► Managing the Leadership Team ► Creating and executing action plans ► Developing metrics ► Holding people accountable ► Driving results. In my roles at small manufacturing or distribution companies, I have worked with company owners to first build a strong foundation for their business and then develop a clear path to growth and profitability. I have driven success at companies in: ► Trade show exhibits ► Metal fabrication ► Industrial coatings ► Importing and distributing ► Aerospace ► Outdoor products My background in finance, marketing and operations which has helped me: ► Relaunch a declining consumer brand with a powerful new market position and logo ► Acquire our largest competitor and increase sales 50% ► Achieve ISO9001-2000 international quality certification ► Improve on-time delivery from 72% to 96% ► Drive the turnaround of a struggling importer and increase its annual sales 200% ► Reposition a struggling subsidiary with an entirely new business model in a different industry Entrepreneurial Operating System®, EOS® and Traction® are registered trademarks of EOS Worldwide
