This is not your typical advisory board. The ABA advisor network is very exclusive and is comprised of only the top strategic thinkers in an organization or industry. We have spoken with many executives within our network about what they are looking for in an advisory board position and more importantly what they do not enjoy about being on an advisory board. The ABA process and methodology has incorporated this input and we have designed our proprietary methodology to ensure that as an advisor you will be able to see the transformative impact your advice has on our client’s strategy and company without feeling like the company is being a burden on your time. The ABA platform will allow you to take all of the aspects of being an advisor that executives like you enjoy including strategic thinking, utilizing your experiences, knowledge and contacts to help a company overcome business issues and achieve strategic objectives that will help grow the business. Our methodology is conducted in a highly formalized process that ensures the company is doing something with your advice and knowledge without reaching out to you constantly about every small business issue. Our unique due diligence processes allow us to select the right board members for the right strategic reasons and eliminates the chances that a high level person like yourself will be put on a board simply because of your name or title when it should be that the organization needs to leverage your expertise and tacit knowledge.

There are many benefits about being part of an exclusive network such as this. For example our due diligence process is something that as an advisor in our network you can take advantage of. Since ABA is conducting this due diligence on many organizations we have the expertise to understand what an excellent board opportunity should look like as far as things like structure, liability, strategic issues and compensation. If you are in our network we often understand what a good board opportunity would look like for you specifically. As such our advisors often use our capabilities and expertise to not only find them opportunities but also research opportunities that are presented to them which saves them the time of not only having to be in the right place at the right time but also in doing the due diligence required before you would get involved in any advisory board situation.

We also realize the power a group like this has so we often leverage opportunities within this exclusive network as well. Whether as simple as introducing two advisors who have an obvious strategic reason to meet or bringing together a group of advisors from different boards together to discuss a current business topic, at ABA we are always looking for opportunities for our advisors to get value from being involved in ABA.
