CEOs
Share experiences, knowledge and ideas in a professional business network for CEOs in top companies.
Peer groups for CEOs
Exclusive network groups for top-level leaders with a focus on strategic leadership, CEO sparring, and sustainable results.
Leading as a CEO often means having few or no peers with whom you can share everyday leadership challenges. Decisions are made at high speed, under pressure, and with far-reaching consequences. That is why a network group for CEOs is not only a support system – but a strategic investment in your leadership.
Peer group sparring with leaders who understand your reality
In a competence network for CEOs, you gain access to a confidential forum with other CEOs, GMs, MDs, etc., who wrestle with similar issues – but from different industries and perspectives. This not only gives you new ideas, but also space for reflection and strategic depth.
Peer group
Strong relationships create big results
Leading at the top in times of transformation
As a CEO, you are expected to have answers to complex questions, provide direction in uncertain times, and at the same time create value for both your organization and its owners. You are at the center of change – from digital transformation and M&A processes to shaping a future-proof organizational culture.
Developing strategic leadership in practice
Discuss competitive strategies, change management, crisis leadership, and navigating uncertain business landscapes, among other things. Competence networks give you the opportunity to explore long-term questions – from steering innovation to building sustainable growth.
Leading through culture, structure, and change
As a CEO, you bear the ultimate responsibility for organizational culture. Through experience-sharing with peers in top positions, you gain insights into culture transformation, values-based leadership, and talent management that drives real impact.
Managing digital transformation and M&A
Competence networks give you the opportunity to spar around critical initiatives – such as technology shifts, M&A decisions, new market entries, and risk assessments. You receive concrete feedback from leaders who have made the decisions themselves – not just analyzed them.
Balancing leadership demands and well-being
Our peer groups equip CEOs with strategies for maintaining personal well-being and building resilient leadership structures, enabling high performance while fostering a sustainable work-life balance for themselves and their executive teams.
What you can expect from a peer group with other CEOs
The CEO competence networks consist of peer groups of around 20 like-minded individuals with strong strategic depth, giving you the chance to share experiences, test ideas, and receive CEO sparring in a safe environment. The format is designed for leaders who want to strengthen their leadership and create lasting impact across the organization. You can expect:
- Regular meetings
We meet six times a year with agendas focused on topics such as strategic leadership, competitive strategies, culture-driven change, M&A, innovation, balancing leadership demands and well-being and digital transformation. All themes are set by the members of the network. - Expert insights and peer exchange
The sessions are led by experienced facilitators and, in some cases, complemented by insights from external experts – in fields such as capital raising, geopolitical risk, talent acquisition, and ESG. Other meetings are based on exchanging experiences between participants - Strategic sparring in practice
Work with real issues from your daily leadership – whether it is building a new management team, driving transformation, or managing conflicts of interest at the board level. - Leadership for the future
Receive support in developing a sustainable CEO role where you not only lead the organization but also yourself – with a focus on longevity, personal integrity, and inner balance. - Confidential conversations
In our CEO networks, full confidentiality applies. It is a safe space where you can speak openly about both successes and challenges – and receive qualified sparring from others in the same position.
The value of the network
The numbers speak for themselves – an overwhelming proportion of our members find their peer group extremely valuable. They particularly highlight the confidential sparring that helps them navigate complex challenges.
The network provides access to experience sharing and insights that cannot be found elsewhere. It strengthens both strategic decision-making and personal development. When so many members see concrete results, it is clear that a strong professional network makes a difference.
The meetings are effective in terms of achieving business objectives.
