Strategic Business Leadership® (SBL)
Using this online tool as an adjunct to your coaching sessions, you’ll move from a leadership style based on the “idea of the week” to one based on strategic thinking.
Following clearly outlined steps, you will define your visions, goals, strategies and action plans to achieve the success you desire. SBL was designed specifically for time-challenged owners of small and medium-sized businesses, so you will find it practical—unlike traditional, more cumbersome planning processes used by large companies.
TAB Business Vantage® Reports
We’ve developed an in-depth online analysis to give you a 360-degree look at your company. Using more than 300 questions analyzing all areas of your business, we prepare a report that guides you to identify and prioritize the activities and actions necessary to take your company to the next level.
TAB Hotline
The Hotline is an email-based system for trading knowledge and advice across the entire TAB community. One of the added benefits of being a member of an international organization like The Alternative Board® is that you have access to more than 2,000 member businesses worldwide. The TAB Hotline gives you an opportunity to expand your peer-to-peer relationships and advice beyond your local TAB Board and into the international business community.
Tips from the Top®
Tips from the Top® is a monthly newsletter specifically for those in the “driver’s seat” of privately-owned businesses. It taps the secrets and real-world strategies profitable business owners, entrepreneurs, CEOs, presidents and partners have used to achieve their success.
Your time is valuable, so Tips from the Top is always short and concise. The information in Tips from the Top can help you improve your business and bottom-line results.
Online Business Advice
TAB members can access business tips, articles and advice online at The Alternative Board’s website. Utilize the general message board containing seven distinct industry areas ( wholesale manufacturing, technology providers, financial services, retail and construction) to interface industry specific collaboration, your TAB community and the valuable information available to you with members and facilitators beyond your own TAB board. The TAB member site features include a searchable business library of archived Tips from the Top newsletter articles and tips.
Yellow Pages for Networking
The TAB member yellow pages allow you to network with fellow TAB Board members worldwide. This robust directory also allows you to promote your products and services to peer TAB Board members.
Member Networking Conferences
TAB membership provides you with the opportunity to gain new ideas, build relationships and begin genuine long-term friendships with fellow TAB members through regional member events and International Member Conferences.
Each International Member Conferences is held at a unique, world-class resort and includes optional programs for spouses that offer new experiences and cater to a wide range of interests. Member conferences give members a broader business perspective through hands-on workshops and meetings led by TAB members and TAB Facilitator/Coaches—who share their real-world experiences, knowledge and support “from the trenches.”
You will spend three days sharing methods of achieving success and balance in your personal, family and business lives with highly experienced TAB members from around the world. Each conference also includes free time to allow you to enjoy the resort location activities, in turn refocusing and rebalancing your personal and business life.
