What Members Say About The Value of
The Alternative Board TAB®
As CEOs of small businesses we very often find ourselves wearing all sorts of different hats - PR, HR, IT, Marketing, Sales, Office Manager - whatever is needed at that moment. TAB has helped me to focus on specific tasks that get me to address the underlying issues rather than the current crisis and help me to delegate so that I can get a step closer to working "on" my business rather than "in" it.

The TAB process and the colleagues on my Board have opened my eyes to various and expanded ways to conduct my business. Our facilitator always seems to find the right time to inject valuable information and alternatives during the course of our dialogue - he has shown me doors where I only saw walls before.

Every TAB presentation I have attended has had a very real and practical application for both my business and the issues that my clients face. Since joining TAB, I have been much more able to step back and see the bigger picture of what working “on” my business really means.

I find the monthly TAB meetings to be the most valuable time I spend each month. Despite the wide variety in our industries, we share many of the same challenges and problems and I have learned many valuable lessons from my group. I have also made much better decisions as a result of the input I got from other members, which has saved me from some impulsive, reactive action and potentially negative outcomes. At other times it has given me certainty when I need it.

When I went to the TAB presentation I realized that I was working in a vacuum with no exposure to the help I could get from the experience and knowledge of other business owners. The presentation opened my eyes, and the help and support I have received since joining TAB has been invaluable in moving my business forward.

I am a technician by background, and my issue has always been marketing. I have been successfully running my HVAC service business for over 10 years but when I learned about TAB I realized that there was a bigger picture. I was forcibly struck by the things that I could learn from other people, and as a result of what I learned my business has been transformed since I became involved with TAB.
