Peer Advisory Groups
Renaissance Executive Forums
As a senior leader, it's easy to become so involved in day-to-day operations that you neglect the big picture. Renaissance Executive Forums specializes in helping chief executives refocus so they can take their businesses -- and themselves -- to the next level.
Renaissance Executive Forums is a membership-based service provider for business owners and top executives.
Using a proven peer advisory process, their goal is to facilitate the exchange of information and support among leaders of similarly sized companies.
All of Renaissance Executive Forum's facilitators have senior level management experience -- when it comes to the issues faced by today's business leaders, they know what they are talking about.
Unlike other peer advisory service providers, the Renaissance program offers three distinct components: Forum Groups, One-to-One Coaching and annual Strategies for Success workshops:
- Forum Groups. Forum groups are the foundation of the Renaissance peer advisory process. Each groups contains eight to twelve chief executives who have been expertly assessed and assigned to the group based on company size, location and other factors. Each group meets for a half-day per month for sessions that are highly interactive and designed to apply the group's collective expertise to critical business issues.
- One-to-One Coaching. Based on availability, one-to-one coaching takes place on either a monthly or quarterly basis. During coaching sessions, members meet with their Renaissance Executive Forum chairperson to discuss a variety of issues that are ultimately tailored to each leader's individual needs. The kinds of issues that are typically discussed in coaching sessions include topics for presentation at forum groups, follow-up on the implementation of action items, the identification of individual needs and personal/business strategic planning.
- Strategies for Success Workshop. Strategies for Success is an annual two-day planning retreat that creates opportunities for leaders to gain self-awareness and valuable insights from other top executives. Members participate in a guided retreat process that emphasizes practical strategies and makes focus the highest priority for a few brief days.
Renaissance Executive Forums: Benefits for Small Business Owners
One of the most important benefits Renaissance Executive Forums offers to small business owners is an integrated peer advisory process. Business owners who pursue a peer advisory experience often participate in an advisory group that is disconnected from their coaching resource and their planning retreat process. But by presenting a coordinated approach to all three elements, Renaissance enhances the effectiveness of the process and increases the level of accountability for participants.
Another key feature of the Renaissance process is its emphasis on a leader-helping-leader approach to problem solving. With a focus on top executives integrated throughout the process, Renaissance taps the expertise of experienced senior level facilitators and intentionally forces participants to rely on one another for insight. The result is a practical peer advisory experience featuring business ideas that have been field-tested and found capable of delivering results.
