ABA is the first and only global organization focused on transforming boards to High Impact Boards that are focused on driving growth for shareholders. Most boards fail to have the strategic impact that the business owners are looking for. We are the first company that focuses on building boards that define the future growth of an organization. ABA has developed proprietary systems that allow companies to gain strategic advantage from their boards. We build non-fiduciary and fiduciary boards that maximize impact for both private and public companies ranging in size from 20M to over 20B. We design them based on the strategic imperatives of the organization, then we build, manage and evaluate the impact- always going back to those strategic imperatives. We have the unique ability to "predict" the level of impact a potential board member will have on an organization and track the ROI of the board and the individual board members. We have also developed an industry first board succession strategy called PAC that incorporates a formalized non-fiduciary board as a future director development center and board bench strategy for a fiduciary board. Advisory Board Architects (ABA) was launched in December 2005. ABA was designed with a simple, quantifiable charter: A strong strategically focused board will help a company achieve its key growth initiatives in a more accelerated time frame. At ABA we surround fast growing companies with executives that have an expertise in their industry or can provide insight into a vertical that accelerates the revenue cycle and decreases the risk of failure. ABAs proprietary system has been implemented in over 500 board meetings in 13 different countries and 3 different languages. We are the first firm to not only mathematically predict the level of strategic impact that a board member will have on a board but also to quantify the ROI that a board generates for an organization. #HighImpactBoards #AdvisoryBoardArchitects #ABA
