ABOUT THE EVENT

CEO Tools: Actionable insights for every leader and manager

Join over 100 CEOs, MDs and business leaders at Celtic Manor, South Wales to discover a toolkit to improve your business, you will get the chance to meet and network with Vistage members and business leaders from around the UK.


Why do some enterprises experience immense success while others drone on in mediocrity year after year? The answer is some are able to make their businesses meaningful, make them come to life and make them fun again, for everyone involved.

Thousands of CEOs and business owners share the same dream; to have a growing, profitable business that executes effectively and can run without them; providing them with more time for personal and professional interests. Sound familiar?

This dream can be a reality. There are tools are available to help CEOs accomplish these goals. Those tools are the focus of this presentation. They are designed to create clarity, set direction, get things done and provide measurable results. 

CEO Tools was originally created by a CEO, for CEOs. Kraig Kramers was the CEO of eight companies and CEO Tools is based on the successful methods he and others employed to get extraordinary results from everyday organisations. 

The CEO Tools methodology is focused on three key result areas:

-Communication: These are the “Make It Clear” tools. They will help set the direction, create an effective cadence of communication and build trust.

-Execution: These are the “Make It Happen” tools. They will track progress and provide feedback and create the plans and actions required for results.

-Optimisation: These are the “Make It Better” tools. They will help align and coach people, organise yourself and others and create a system to celebrate successes.

Leaders may have tried similar methods to improve their businesses in the past. However, these simple concepts produce the best results, not from a one-time use, but from repetitive application. To illustrate, a schedule of repetition is needed to improve your health through a fitness routine, and learning a new language requires repetition to achieve the best results. When followed in a disciplined fashion, CEO Tools will create a cycle of success that delivers the results business owners hoped for when they started their businesses.

Afternoon Workshops

Members and Colleagues – Exclusive PM Session with Jim Canfield
14:00 – 16:00

Vistage members and their colleagues will have the opportunity to stay for an exclusive afternoon session with Jim Canfield. This is a two hour session which will explore some additional material that adds further value to the morning session. Working with Jim, you will create an action plan on how you will implement what you have learned for both yourself and your teams.

It is highly recommended that all members and colleagues stay for the full day.

Guests of Vistage – ‘Experience Vistage Session’

Guests will have the opportunity to attend a complimentary session in the afternoon to find out a little more about Vistage and experience for themselves the real power of being part of a peer group and Vistage group meeting.

The complimentary session is exclusively for CEOs, MDs and business owners and this interactive session will be run by a Vistage group Chair. You will find out how joining a working group of CEOs, MDs and business owners will benefit you and your business.

The hallmark of a Vistage group is something we call ‘issue processing’ and is a structured, thorough and efficient approach to help successful executives think through the dynamics of a challenge or evaluate opportunities.
