CEO Advisory
Having a trusted sounding board is considered to be a central shaper of extraordinary CEO careers.
Dan provides this subtle, yet high value service on an ongoing basis to a select group of CEOs.
Dan’s CEO advisory offering has been developed as a natural extension of the relationships he has built with CEOs worldwide, all of whom share the desire to build great companies.
His advisory approach is not a static, passive process, bound to hourly sessions – rather, it takes a free form that fits within a CEO’s demanding schedule and allows for maximum access when a client needs it most.
Dan works with CEOs who have a clearly defined need, a keen desire to learn and who will take the primary role in shaping the development work they do with him.
CEO DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
Dan believes CEOs need to have four fundamental competencies:
- Developing Strategy
- Driving Strategy
- Inspiring People
- Increasing Self Awareness
These competencies cut across all aspects of the CEO mandate, including: crafting strategy; executing strategy: shaping ethics; building a culture; developing emerging leadership capabilities; defining organisational purpose; invigorating an organisation; restructuring the organisation, setting high standards; overcoming obstacles; attracting talent, and self-efficacy.
OPERATING MODEL
Dan’s CEO engagement model is differentiated from typical advisory arrangements. In order to maximise value for his advisory clients, Dan has created an engagement model that allows for always-on advice that can take multiple forms in accordance with each client’s particular needs. This engagement can include:
In-person, formal planned sessions
- Ad-hoc phone / video access
- Full-day, deep dive conversations
- On-site consulting
- Non-business hours availability
Dan prefers long-term relationships that have fixed monthly fee, retainer-type arrangements that are activated only when his services are used. This provides his CEO clients with an at-the-ready resource without the overhead burden brought about by typical inflexible retainer relationships.
Minimum collaborative duration: 12 months
Monthly retainer: US$30,000.00
Limited to: 8 CEOs at any point in time
