Our clients are the decision makers in small and mid-market privately held companies - business owners, CEOs, presidents, and manageing partners - in the Denver Metro area.
TAB members lead businesses with annual revenues ranging from $500,000 to more than $60 million, have anywhere from one to more than 400 employees, and represent vital economic growth in the Denver economy. Industries we serve include technology, manufacturing and construction, finance, real estate, insurance, retail and a wide variety of service busiensses. More specifically, we work with business owners who:
Sound familiar?
You have created a company - and a job for yourself - but too often it feels like you are working for someone else. You're working long hours and not taking enough money out of the business. Your're working for your business, rather than having your business work for you. Your life is out of balance and your stress is high. You want to increase company revenues and your personal income, grow your equity in the business, focus your time on strategic initiatives, and have time for family and friends.
You are having trouble finding and keeping the right talent. Having the right employees is critical to your success. But just when you think you finally have your staffing issues resolved, key people leave the business or simply stop performing up to standard. You want to know where to find the best employees, how to keep them once you've hired and trained them, and how to keep them motivated and engaged so that they grow with the company and become integral players on a successful team.
You want to grow your business but you don't know where to start. You've tried many different marketing plans and they either don't work or don't deliver consistent results. Your marketing budget is limited and you need to make the most of it. You need to know how and where to invest marketing dollars so that you can drive growth and prosperity.
You are concerned that your business won't be ready to sell or transition to family members when the time comes. You know you'll eventually sell your business or have family members take over, but you're not sure what you should be doing now in preparation for that to happen. You need to see maximum equity out of the business when you do sell, and at the same time you want to do the right think for your successor. You want to make sure that your business takes care of you and your family even after you leave the business.
You will have a successful experience as a TAB member if:
You are committed to change. You realize that you "don't know what you don't know" and you're open to receiving (and sharing) new ideas that will help take your business to the next level. You are ready to let the way you thnk about business evolve, to take new and different kinds of action, and improve your business by taking strategic risks.
You want to work on your business, not just in your business. You realize that as the leader of your company you can't afford to stay bogged down in the day-to-day details of running your company. Your job is about vision, stratgey, and making decisions that will take your business in the direction you want to see it go.
You want more than "networking." If you are looking for a leads group or networking function, TAB is not for you. While you will most certainly make fascinating business contacts as a result of being a TAB member, the focus of TAB is on you, your business, your success.
You adhere to the highest standards of honesty and integrity. If you want to succeed by taking ethical shortcuts, TAB is not for you. If you want to play the business game at the highest level, we would like to help you succeed.
The TAB Philosphy
Profitability is not optional. We understand that you take your business seriously. We support business leaders who need to see significant improvement in the bottom line results of their business and in the overall quality of their lives.
Creating customer value is the fundamental engine for growing a business. Perhaps this is stating the obvious, but customers and the revenues they produce are the lifebook of any business. We help business owners create and deliver high quality products and services so that their customer base is constantly growing.
Accountability and commitment drive results. Too many business owners have great ideas that they never get around to executing. We hold ourselves, our clients, our partners, and other stakeholders accountable to strive for continuous improvement.
Companies can be great places to work. Individuals should be treated with the utmost respect which includes open, honest communication in a timely manner and on-going basis. Your business can be a place where employees (and you) look forward to coming to work each and every day.
Businesses founded and managed based on closely held values succeed because they matter to the business owner. TAB's goal is to help you succeed according to your own definition of success. This involves helping you uncover your core business and personal values and goals and then creating an action plan to help you achieve those goals.
What results can you expect when you become a member of The Alternative Board?
You will improve company revenue, increase your personal income, grow your equity in the business, and sleep better at night. You'll be more relaxed and satisfied knowing that your company is a well-run machine.
You will build a team of qualified people who think like business owners so that routine business operations don't depend on your being front and center to deal with every detail.
You will be focused on key business issues and opportunities rather than on day-to-day tasks. You'll spend less time putting out fires. You will invest your time and creative energy into strategically growing your company and making it more profitable.
You will crystallize your personal vision so that you can get your company ready for sale or have the right family member(s) in place to take over the business in the timeframe you desire and with the appropriate financial rewards.
You will have less stress and more balance in your life. Having a clear focus about where your business is headed, the ability to track your progress on an ongoing basis, and the confidence that you are working methodically toward your most important business goals will help you finally realize that you really don't have to work "all the time."
Ever wonder how businesses succeed in any economic time? Now, they share their secrets to ensure success.
