Five Key Benefits of Advisory Boards
Did you know that Benjamin Franklin was not only one of the founding fathers of the United States but also the father of peer advisory boards? The Junto he formed back in 1727 consisted of five men who would meet at the Every Night Club in Philadelphia. Although they covered many subjects, many, such as Franklin, were powerful businessmen interested in the best and new ways to improve profits. Business strategy was a common topic along with morality, politics, and philosophy.
Peer advisory boards have evolved since the days of the original Junto, but the essential elements are still the same. Business owners share their business strategies and expertise with each other in an innovative, non-competitive and results-oriented environment in a quid pro quo fashion.
There are at least five key benefits of being on an advisory board:
- Learning – Learning from others and gaining knowledge in areas of your business where you may lack expertise and experience.
- Strategic thinking – The opportunity to think critically about your business versus spending all your time firefighting.
- Accountability – Being accountable to your board and coach makes it harder to procrastinate and rationalize why you are executing your plans.
- Expert advice – The diversity of expertise and industries brings valuable advice and new perspectives that can have an immediate impact on your business.
- Results – Business owners who have an advisory board get better results that show up in improved revenue, profitability and fewer issues that keep them up at night.
