Your Most Critical Decisions – Made Better
As the CEO of a larger company, every decision you make carries enormous consequences and risk. The larger and more complex the business, the greater the chance of a mistake, and a big one.
Yet, too often, leaders like you navigate high-stakes challenges in isolation, without the constructive review of peers who have been there and done it.
The result? Avoid costly mistakes and missed opportunities that can threaten everything you’ve built.
The CEO Project provides a structured environment to pressure-test your thinking, assess risks, and improve the chances for a great outcome – every time. We do this with a hand-picked group of CEOs running enterprises of similar size and complexity to yours. You might not have faced this decision before, but usually one of your group members has and has insight on the risks.
“This isn’t theory, it’s practical insights. In one year, it’s been a 30-40X ROI for my company!”
The Board You Wish You Had
Our groups operate at your level and are facing or have solved some of the same challenges. Solutions can be difficult to see when you are in the middle of all the information flows.
The power of the group mind is profound in seeing the core issues inside the multi-variate problems you are facing. There is no need to invent something new when others already have the blueprints.
“It’s like having an advisory board made up of CEOs who are smarter than me.”

“The CEO Project helped me have an accelerated growth strategy which resulted in a phenomenal exit for the business. It was very financially rewarding for myself and several of our key people.”
If you are not in a CEO Peer Group, you are suffering from a lack of inspiration, a lack of accountability and resilience, and people to lift you up…”
It Works – Here’s How
CEOs remain members of The CEO Project for over seven years on average, achieving 2 to 3X the financial performance of their peers.
Renewal rates are over 90% because of the delivered value.
- Curated Peer Groups – Selected and grouped for psychographic profile, size, and business complexity.
- Quarterly In-Person Meetings – Tightly run quarterly meetings to dive deep into your most complex issues in a structured manner. The honesty is direct and impactful since the other Members do not have a vested interest in your success.
-
Highly Skilled Partners – Our Partners run the group meetings and provide regular business input for you. The best part? They are all former CEOs who have run businesses on your scale, so the insights come from experience.
-
Based on Strong Theory – Everything we do is based on the Theory of Constraints. This approach to running a business is detailed in “Great CEOs are Lazy” and ensures that you are always focused on the most critical business issues. It works.
-
Monthly 1:1 Partner Sessions – Beyond the quarterly meetings with your group, you will meet monthly with your Partner to dive into the business and push forward your business. These intense sessions can yield more profound insights into your critical issues and discover new ones.
-
Bi-Annual CEO Summit – We bring together our CEOs for learning and networking every other year. It is a great chance to learn from national-class speakers and build relationships that can pay off in your business within the greater CEO Project community.
