How does the Program work?

Your Virtual Advisory Board is a 12-month intensive business development program that provides you with access to your own dedicated high-level support team who will: 

​

  • Provide fresh insights and thinking on emerging or unfamiliar issues

  • Respond to your ideas and play devil's advocate where required

  • Provide wise counsel on issues raised

  • Provide high-quality objective advice, guidance and support

  • Monitor business performance, holding you accountable for your targets and KPI's

  • and more......


The program kicks off with a 1-day intensive strategy session to define your strategy and goals for the year.  We then select your Business Coach and Virtual Advisory Board members based on your specific business needs. 

​

Each month you work with your Business Coach, and each quarter you will meet with your virtual advisory board. 

​

In addition, you will attend intensive business development boot camps with other business owners in the program and have the option of attending a 3-day business Development and networking retreat and various networking events throughout the year. 

​

After the initial 12 months, you can graduate from the program. Renew for another year with the same advisory board or opt for a new board depending on your business needs at the time.
