HOW ARE ABL CEO ROUND TABLES DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CEO GROUPS?
A CEO Peer Group Designed for Your Industry
One of the most common questions we hear at the Adaptive Business Leaders (ABL) Organization is: How is an ABL CEO Round Table different from groups like Vistage, YPO, or The Alliance of CEOs?
The answer is FOCUS. Unlike general networking groups, ABL is dedicated exclusively to CEOs in the Technology and Healthcare industries. Our members don’t just share broad business advice—they offer highly relevant, industry-specific insights that directly address the operational, competitive, and regulatory challenges unique to your field.
Industry-Specific Insights You Can Act On
For over 40 years, ABL has provided confidential forums where Tech and Healthcare CEOs discuss the challenges and opportunities that only fellow leaders in their industries truly understand.
🔹 For Tech CEOs, this means candid conversations about overcoming obstacles like managing high-performance development teams, leveraging AI, navigating software platform migrations, and structuring equity grants for tax efficiency.
🔹 For Healthcare CEOs, this means tackling the ever-evolving landscape of legislation, reimbursement, regulatory compliance, and patient care models—while integrating AI and the latest Health IT and telemedicine solutions to stay ahead of market and payer demands.
A Legacy of Industry-Driven Leadership
ABL was founded in 1983 by Walter Bauer, CEO of Informatics General, who had been a member of TEC (now Vistage). While he valued cross-industry discussions, he realized that general business advice didn’t always apply to the complexities of running a technology company. To create a more impactful experience, he set three guiding principles for ABL:
1 Exclusively Industry-Focused Membership – Only Tech CEOs or Healthcare CEOs participate in their respective Round Tables.
2️ Efficient, High-Value Sessions – Meetings are half-day, maximizing impact without consuming additional drive-time to get to them.
3️ Cost-Effective Membership – ABL provides access to high-caliber industry peers at half the investment of many other CEO groups.
Real-World Experience from Fellow CEOs
Dave Berkus, ABL’s current Technology Chair and a Member since 1988, captures ABL’s value best: “Hearing firsthand how fellow CEOs adapt to changes in their industry and the economy has been invaluable. Their insights help shape my own leadership strategies.”
ABL CEO Round Tables provide more than just advice—they offer actionable strategies from peers who have faced and overcome the same challenges you do have – and then some.
