How to Create or Edit a V/TO in EOS One

Use the V/TO Builder in EOS One to create a new V/TO, continue an unfinished V/TO, or edit an existing V/TO.

What is a V/TO?

V/TO is short for Vision/Traction Organizer®. It is a strategic planning document that helps your organization answer key questions, clarify your vision, and get everyone on the same page.

In EOS One, you can build your V/TO from scratch or clone an existing V/TO as a starting point.

How to create your first V/TO

If your organization does not have a V/TO yet, EOS One will prompt you to start one.

  1. Click V/TO from the left navigation bar.

  2. Click Start Building Your V/TO.

  3. Follow the prompts to build your V/TO.

  4. Complete each section of the V/TO.

When the V/TO is created, you can review it from the V/TO page.

How to create another V/TO

If your organization already has a V/TO, you can create another one from the V/TO Builder.

  1. Click V/TO from the left navigation bar.

  2. Click Open V/TO Builder.

  3. Click + New Draft.

  4. Enter a name for the new Draft.

  5. Choose how you want to start:

    • Clone the Official: Copies the live V/TO as a starting point, then lets you edit freely.

    • Start blank: Creates a new V/TO from scratch.

  6. If you choose to Clone the Official, select the V/TO you want to clone from the Clone from dropdown.

  7. Click Create Draft.

The new V/TO is created as a Draft.

How to edit a V/TO

  1. Click V/TO from the left navigation bar.

  2. Click Open V/TO Builder.

  3. Find the V/TO you want to edit.

  4. Click the vertical ellipsis next to the V/TO name.

  5. Select Edit.

  6. Make your updates.

How to continue an unfinished V/TO

If a V/TO has not been fully created yet, selecting Open resumes the V/TO Builder.

Use this when you started building a V/TO but did not finish all sections.

A V/TO includes the following sections:

  • Core Values

  • Core Focus

  • 10-Year Target

  • Marketing Strategy

  • 3-Year Picture

  • 1-Year Plan

  • Quarterly Rocks
