Chief Executive Network (CEN) helps CEOs grow their business, improve performance (and profitability), and overcome obstacles by putting them in professionally facilitated groups with non-competing CEOs in the same industry, markets and/or situations to share ideas, best practices, benchmarks, challenges, and advice. Each peer group meets in person several times per year—and members also have access to world-class conferences, a network of 600+ members, as well as personal coaches and subject matter experts. This enables our busy members to tap into the collective experiences and knowledge of the network to make better decisions faster and avoid costly mistakes. It's no coincidence that CEN members average 30% higher profit margins and more than 2x the growth rate of their industry peers. We have both national and local groups to meet your unique needs.
