System FAQ

What CEOs ask about the system

What is the Make BIG Happen system?
Make BIG Happen is the CEO operating system created by Mark Moses and used in every CEO Coaching International engagement. It combines four core questions (Vision, Action, Anticipate, Measure), seven rhythms from annual planning to daily leadership, and 30+ tools that turn vision into measurable execution.
What are the 7 Rhythms?
Challenge Core Identity (annual), Develop an Annual Plan, Execute a 13-Week March (quarterly), Stay on Track (monthly Financial + Strategic Reviews), Hold Yourself Accountable (bi-monthly working sessions), Focus on Outcomes (weekly), and Increase Productivity (daily leadership skills). Together they form a nested cadence, annual to daily, that prevents drift.
What are the 4 Questions?
1) Vision, What do you want? 2) Action, What do you have to do? 3) Anticipate, What could get in the way? 4) Measure, How do you hold yourself accountable? Every Make BIG Happen working session returns to these four.
Where does the Make BIG Happen book fit in?
The book (Forbes Books, by Mark Moses) is the public-facing distillation of the methodology. CEO Coaching International clients receive the full toolkit and a coach who has used the system inside their own companies.
Do I have to be a CEO Coaching International client to use the system?
No. The book is publicly available and many CEOs run a version of the system on their own. Clients get the full toolset, ongoing coaching, and a former-CEO partner who pressure-tests the application week to week.
