The Advisory Board is an invaluable tool for enhancing your critical thinking skills, your decision-making skills, and your ability to plan strategically.
Using a structured process, you will participate on and take advantage of the Advisory Board, benefiting from the combined wisdom, expertise and frankness of the group.
The Board focuses on the "big picture" as opposed to day-to-day operational issues, bringing a broadened perspective to the discussions. Issues related to the future success of your company such as profitability, financial reporting, new markets, strategic direction, compensation, retirement planning, etc. are selected by yourself for discussion when the Board is working to serve your company.
Board size is limited to four to six business owners. Each participant will have the opportunity to bring for discussion issues specific to their business once every other meeting. Board meetings are 90 minutes in length. Confidentiality, safety and openess of the Board's discussions are critical environmental factors in the Board's success.
In order to ensure continuity, participation on the Advisory Board requires a three month committment.
