Membership on The Alternative Board® (TAB). This is our flagship service. TAB is a confidential forum where business owners exchange ideas and support one another to succeed. It’s also where leaders learn, grow, and develop new skills. Each board member serves as an important resource for all of the other members. This is what makes being on a TAB board so dynamic and valuable for business owners. Board meetings are guided by a TAB-Certified Facilitator who has years of executive management experience, plus business and personal coaching credentials. Click here for complete details.

TAB Tools
TAB members have access to a variety of tools to help them analyze and guide their businesses, increase revenues, and lead with confidence. These include:
TAB Business Vantage®
TAB Business Vantage® is a proprietary online survey that analyzes every area of your company – sales, marketing, human resources, operations, finance, planning and more. This easy to use tool generates a gap analysis report that allows you and your TAB facilitator to prioritize and address areas for improvement. This in-depth analysis gives you a snapshot of your current performance compared with your business priorities and will help you take your company to the next level. Click here for complete details.
Strategic Business Leadership® (SBL)
Too many business owners either do not engage in formal planning at all, don’t do it on a regular basis, or do it annually but then put the plan on a shelf where it collects dust until the following year. Strategic Business Leadership® (SBL) is designed to help business owners break free of traditional “planning” and instead participate in a dynamic, ongoing process that helps them achieve both business and personal goals.
