About Me

jim wardlaw
Implementer Category: Expert

When Jim hired Gino Wickman 15 years ago to implement the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) in his marketing communications firm, he had no idea that one day he’d be doing the same for clients of his own. Looking back, it seems only natural that his years of experience with EOS, success as a business owner, extensive marketing communications background and studies in the area of entrepreneurship, creative problem solving, innovation and team collaboration would culminate as a Expert EOS Implementer. Jim believes that every successful business reaches a point where success outstrips the ability to manage it – where complexity dampens team performance. “This is where I come in,” Jim says, “when it’s time to get the team focused on the same vision and working together in an accountable, healthy environment.” Jim has helped dozens of companies in a wide range of business sectors go to the next level of performance. If you’re serious about growth give him a call at (716) 970-4158 and find out more about EOS and your free 90 minute session.

What Clients Say

Hear it directly from transformed businesses.

Jim Wardlaw is an amazing implementor of the EOS system and has an excellent grasp of what the leadership should look like. Over time he molded our concept and our leadership team into what he thought would create a more productive outcome. His changes were spot on and we are more efficient and productive because of them.

Dr. Vito Quatela

Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery

I learned that having the right people in the right seats can produce amazing results. The team is always stronger than the individual and that working together, your company managers will benefit from equal valued participation in the EOS process. Jim keeps the EOS process on track and weeds out problems and issues.

Frank Kovacs

CEO - Shannon Enterprises

If you want to stretch to new heights, implement EOS by partnering with Jim to get the results you only dreamt of. If you are stuck with the status-quo and mediocre results, pray that your competition doesn’t engage him for an EOS implementation.
