CEO Think Tank®'s is proud to announce an expanded line of time-tested products and programs to support entrepreneurial and small business excellence. As we move forward, we will be marketing these services through our parent company, Ballantree Consulting. And - we'll be continuing to develop new and improved solutions to help you succeed.

Helping you succeed starts with identifying the business challenges that are holding you back…

  • Lack of revenue - and profits
  • A management team that's not aligned and often pulling in opposite directions
  • Too many competing priorities and not enough time to do them all
  • Strategic plans that sit on a shelf collecting dust – and stalling growth
  • Uncontrolled growth and an ”out of control” feeling that it's time to do things differently

What would it be like to...

  • Have the confidential input and advice of other business leaders when you're grappling with a particularly difficult decision?
  • Have a professionally facilitated, candid forum for discussing professional and personal goals?
  • Have a group of peers who will not only support but also hold you accountable to the commitments you make?

We invite you to discover for yourself by applying to join the CEO Think Tank®.

CEO Think Tank® gives you:

  • Uninterrupted time to focus – shedding light on strategic issues that are vital to your company's future.
  • A select group of up to 16 business peers: a confidential sounding board of diverse perspectives – committed to supporting you in achieving all of your goals.
  • A skilled facilitator to keep your larger purposes in the forefront throughout each CEO Think Tank® session.

Each CEO Think Tank® is made up of carefully selected chief executives, business owners and senior managers. CEO Think Tank® members gather monthly. Two of the three quarterly meetings are half-day sessions, and the third is a full-day session that includes a professional development session. In addition, 2 hours of individual coaching per month can be contracted for separately.

Benefits of CEO Think Tank®

  • Creative business solutions
  • Stimulating community of peers
  • Business strategies and "life strategies" that complement and support each other
  • Development of your business' most important asset - You!

Who’s got the Penguin?
The Hill at Whitemarsh (www.thehillatwhitemarsh) is a luxury Continuing Care Retirement Community located in Lafayette Hill, PA just outside of Philadelphia. They pride themselves on being a Five Star organization when it comes to service which, with over 400 residents and almost 300 staff, takes a tremendous amount of work and commitment to maintain…and this year, a penguin...

What’s your Number?
Ed Sullivan, four-time entrepreneur and currently CEO of G2Link (www.g2link.com ), has a track record with companies that might turn a few of you green with envy. And while he's highly creative, he is also an extremely disciplined business person. At a recent lunch with him and a couple of my clients, Ed turned to one of the CEOs and asked, “So, what’s the first number that you look at when you come to work each day?” The CEO was caught off a bit off guard…"Wow, that's a great question," he replied. So, in a follow up to my last blog post that asked ‘How are you turning up the heat?’… My next question is ‘How will you know that “it’s” working???”

Sixth Annual Growth Strategies Breakfast
Friday, March 16th at the Union League of Philadelphia, with former CEO, private investor and mid-market advisor Dave Power.

Why do so many growth companies stop growing?

Promising companies that pass $10M in revenues can lose momentum before they reach $20M. Many stall as their business models mature and they outgrow the processes and teams that led to their initial successes. Most are sold before they reach $30M.

For most successful growth companies, innovation is the key. Apple, Amazon, Foursquare, Groupon and other leaders are discovering uncontested markets, delivering higher value at lower prices (often free), redefining channels, and leaving incumbents scrambling. They position the company for the next ‘S-curve’ before the current business loses steam.

What can every business learn from the new innovators? Join us on Friday, March 16th to find out! To register, click here!

  Here's what our members have to say:  
     
 "The 'Tank' and your work with our firm has been invaluable. You've really gotten us pointed in the right direction and we're a much more thoughtful and well-run organization. As a result of the ideas and speakers to which I've been exposed and the other members with whom I've interacted, I'm thinking differently about the firm. I've committed to our success in a much more proactive way, as both the firm's managing partner and as a business owner. I truly believe that we're doing the things that will ensure our success for the future."
