How EA Works

There are three core components to the Executive Agenda experience: the Group, the One-on-One, and the Meeting.


 

 

 

 

"Executive Agenda provides a way to discuss difficult or confidential topics
which cannot be discussed at work."                                 D. Doug Sawyer,
Vice President, Universal Welding & Engineering

  

The Group

There are currently 36 EA groups of
12-15 members each, representing
275+ companies in the greater metro Wisconsin areas of Madison, Milwaukee and Appleton/Green Bay. Members of each group are carefully selected to ensure that: they are high-quality managers in terms of experience, character and commitment; they represent a diverse range of industries and functions; there are no conflicts of interest with other members of the group; and there is positive group chemistry.
                    

The One-on-One

A One-on-One is an in-person, private discussion between a member and his or her Chairman. They are typically scheduled quarterly, about a month prior to the member's group meeting and last 1½-2 hours. Members determine the One-on-One agenda, and the Chairman functions as a personal advisor, coach and confidante.

The Meeting

Full-day group discussion meetings are conducted quarterly. It is in these sessions that members function as a personal board of advisors for one another. Facilitated by the group's Chairman and utilizing the Seven Step Process, members hone their leadership, communication, and decision-making skills by working through each other's issues, challenges and opportunities.


In addition to Executive Agenda's three core components, members also have access to other learning opportunities and support services:

Special Interest Meetings

Seminars of high-interest topics presented by subject-matter experts at 2½ hour breakfast sessions offered four to six times per year.

Senior Managers Program/Guest Membership

Your choice of two, full-day seminars led by nationally-recognized speakers.
