How to Marry Data with Structure

If you're running your business on EOS® (Entrepreneurial Operating System), you already understand the power of structure, clarity, and accountability. But what if you could go even deeper—aligning your people strategy with data-driven behavioral insights?

That’s where The Predictive Index® (PI) comes in. Together, PI and EOS create a powerful partnership: one brings the framework, the other brings the science. The result? Better hires, stronger teams, and next-level execution.

Why Combine Predictive Index and EOS?

EOS is incredible at helping businesses define what needs to be done—setting vision, goals, rocks, and accountability through tools like the Accountability Chart, L10 Meetings™, and the Scorecard.

But EOS doesn’t tell you who the right people are—or why they work (or don’t) in certain roles.

That’s where the Predictive Index fills the gap.

• EOS = Structure, roles, and vision
  
  

• PI = Insight into behavior, motivation, and job fit
  
  

When you put them together, you stop guessing and start hiring and leading intentionally.

Step 1: Build the Right Accountability Chart—with PI

With EOS, your Accountability Chart shows you the right seats.

With PI, you ensure you have the right people in those seats.

Each role can be paired with a Job Target using PI’s behavioral and cognitive benchmarks. Instead of writing vague job descriptions, you’re creating data-driven profiles of what success actually looks like in that role.

Step 2: Understand Your Team

PI gives you access to behavioral assessments that reveal how people naturally:

• Work
  
  

• Communicate
  
  

• Make decisions
  
  

• Respond to pressure
  
  

When used alongside EOS People Tools (like the People Analyzer™), you can go beyond “GWC” (Gets it, Wants it, Capacity to do it) and truly understand the why behind performance issues, personality clashes, or engagement gaps.

Step 3: Align, Coach, and Communicate with Precision

Once you know how someone is wired, you can tailor how you:

• Assign Rocks
  
  

• Set goals and expectations
  
  

• Give feedback or coach
  
  

Managers become more effective, and teams collaborate more smoothly—because you're managing people in a way that matches their natural strengths.

Real-World Example

Say your Integrator is analytical, reserved, and focused on process (hello, High C in PI terms)—but your Visionary is fast-moving, persuasive, and idea-driven (a High A, High B). You’ll expect conflict unless you understand and leverage their differences.

With PI + EOS, you don’t just "hope" they'll work it out—you proactively manage the relationship with awareness, appreciation, and practical communication tools.

The Result: Clarity + Chemistry

When Predictive Index and EOS work together, you get:

• Clear roles and responsibilities (EOS)
  
  

• Deep understanding of how your people are wired (PI)
  
  

• Smarter hiring and onboarding
  
  

• Fewer people problems
  
  

• Stronger leadership teams
  
  

• Better execution of your vision
