Overview

Who We Are:
An Introduction to the ABL Organization

For over 25 years, The Adaptive Business Leaders (ABL) Organization’s Chief Executive Round Table programs have focused on assisting change-oriented leaders and their organizations with the particular challenges of navigating through the uncertain cross-currents of industries undergoing unprecedented waves of change. ABL's Members (all of whom are CEO's, Presidents or Division General Manager's with P&L responsibility) represent billions in annual revenues and are located throughout California and beyond.

With our Membership representing both the Healthcare (providers, payers, and suppliers) and Technology industries, ABL convenes these leaders in Round Table settings each month to share strategic and operational information, insights and initiatives that help each other grow successful companies. Using the other Members as a knowledgeable, candid, and confidential sounding board, Members are able to brainstorm, with the group, a range of innovative alternatives and solutions to their most critical management issues. Interspersed with discussions of their own significant business concerns, Members rely on the Round Tables to get highly informed, advance intelligence on -- and interpretation of -- topical developments and issues in the commercial and financial marketplace. ABL’s overall objective in all of this is to provide a powerful service to executives who want to be sure that they, and their companies, are well positioned for success both now and in the future.

Candor and confidentiality characterize our sessions. This, combined with Membership diversity and quality, Round Table facilitation, and a blend of operational and strategic issues, contributes to making ABL work. Our Members overwhelmingly find the investment of time and money repaid many times over. Finally, between sessions, Members stay in touch with the issues, trends, and each other via our: ABL ONLINE (our bi-weekly Member News and Trends summary publication), connecting with other Members within their own Round Table and the Organization on an “off-line” basis, and through our Focused Workshops’ and Networking Socials.

Focused Workshops are held throughout the year and at different locations within the state. The Workshops add an extra dimension of value to Round Table Membership, as they afford the Members an expanded opportunity to get to know other ABL Members, while participating in further-in-depth sessions on “cutting-edge” issues of the day.

ABL enables our Member's to be:

• A part of an exclusive setting in which the Members serve as confidential advisors to each other -- sharing "what's keeping them up nights," and receiving real-time "no-ax-to-grind" peer feedback on their toughest issues
  
  
• At the forefront of emerging trends - knowledgeable about their associated opportunities and potential landmines
  
  
• Recipients AND Contributors to their fellow Members' corporate, personal and career growth -- and vital connections to assist them in each area.
