Strategic Guidance

Board & CEO Level Guidance

We have a passion for emerging and transformational service businesses. Over our 20 years, we’ve learned a lot, as such we would like to share with you, the CEO Entrepreneur our knowledge, our process, our resources, and experiences.

Only three things happen naturally in organizations: friction, confusion, and underperformance. Everything else requires leadership
— Peter F. Drucker
 
 

The “Board of One” Concept

The "Board of One" objective is to provide the skills and resources necessary to “augment” those that the company leader simply does not illustrate, in order to create a "Highly Skilled CEO Entrepreneur".

Founder & Shareholder Liquidity and Exit Options

Founders and Shareholders of emerging service businesses should never “treat their equity, that is increasing in value, as a commodity”. It is valuable and, for many of us, potentially the “most valuable asset” many of us will ever enjoy. 


The “Executive Chairman” Concept

The goal of the “Executive Chairman” role is to work with and “mentor” the CEO and Leadership Team on the implementation of the near-term and long-term initiatives of the organization through the utilization of best practices in the areas of governance, shareholder management, business model development, business process development, leadership and executive management effectiveness. 

The Top Ten Private Company Board Best Practices

Now, more than ever, private company Boards of Directors are being called upon to provide leadership and skills that go beyond traditional governance activities. Boards and individual directors are becoming “activists” with involvement in strategic leadership, organizational leadership, interim management, and industry representation, in addition to classic governance activities.
