Achieved Vision = Erik Perkins, Certified EOS ImplementerTM 
Quite simply, I help people achieve what they want with their business.

Erik’s Background
My experiences over the last 20+ years have evolved into a passion for helping businesses clarify their vision and attain their goals. I’ve worked as an operator and advisor to small and medium-sized businesses in a variety of different positions . . .  as a family business member; as an advisor at Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and KPMG; as a C-level executive at Image One Corporation as well as a founder and president at Origin Digital.  My experience across industry sectors including manufacturing, automotive supply chain, healthcare, distribution, technology, and for-profit government-type entities has convinced me any company that is growth-oriented, open minded, and willing to change can fulfill its goals using the EOS Process
™.

Years back, while working with angel investors and reviewing numerous companies, I noticed that most organizations had a difficult time articulating their vision and/or supporting it with an operating system to achieve that vision. At that time, I encountered Image One, a company that radiated health, had a clear vision and was successfully progressing towards their vision.  I learned that the management team had implemented the EOS Process. When the opportunity was offered to me, I joined Image One as CFO, then COO and became an EOS
® enthusiast. Consistently applying the process, we were purchased by a $1B company within the year, where a GE/Jack Welsh disciple commented that we were the best-run company he’d ever seen.

I then founded Origin Digital, a start-up in the Internet video space.  Early on, we brought in an EOS Implementer
™ to help us execute EOS at this new organization. Subsequently, we transformed Origin Digital from a low-volume and low-dollar professional services company to a Software-as-a-Service video processor.  Within two years of its inception, Origin Digital was acquired by Accenture to become the video processing solution for its telecommunications clients. Our leadership team continued to operate the company autonomously for six more years with me serving as president.

At this point, the company became fully integrated into Accenture, operating out of New York. After five years of weekly commuting from Detroit-NYC, I retired from Accenture to focus on my passion of helping businesses clarify their vision, achieve traction and become healthier organizations.  I started Achieved Vision to pursue a career as a business coach and full-time EOS Implementer.

EOS IMPLEMENTER?  As a Certified EOS implementer, I am an expert in the Entrepreneurial Operating System
®, which is a complete system suited for organizations that are both open minded and growth oriented.  EOS Implementers provide instruction on EOS and teach the simple tools that we use to help you run your business better.  In doing this, an EOS Implementer provides the context and facilitates the most important discussions regarding the company's vision, people, data, issues, process, and traction.  EOS Implementers stay focused in the areas that achieve the highest gain in the shortest amount of time.

Education:  University of Michigan Ross School of Business undergraduate (highest honors) and graduate programs, BBA, MAcc.
Family:  My wife Sara and I reside in Grand Blanc, MI with our two children, Baylor (12) and Sophie (9) and of course the dogs:  Kona and Blue.



Geographic Focus

I consider client engagements in most US geographies.  My home base is Grand Blanc, MI with local sessions held at Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club.  I do travel extensively inside and outside of Michigan to work with great people.
