Answered 5 years, 1 months ago There are numerous CEO peer groups in the market, including TAB, EO and a few faith-based groups (Convene, C-12). The one group worth considering is Inc. CEO Project. This group has a few unique qualities that sets it apart from others: 1) The advisors have all been executives, with their own war wound stories that helps provide insight to other CEOs; 2) they put CEO's in like size & complexity (homogeneous) and not in the same industry; 3) their curriculum is very focused on helping the CEO's identify constraints and options for removal. Every CEO gets to talk about their business in every meeting. They have a face to face quarterly meeting model and a virtual bi-monthly model. It's not a social club and there is no guest speakers nor book of the month club - just real issues CEO's face and working collaboratively together. I'd highly recommend checking them out.
