Think

We understand that not everyone learns best by reading reports. This is why we offer content in various types of formats including analyst reports, data assessments, webinars, leadership roundtables, guidance videos, podcasts/vodcasts, quick-takes, news overviews, and vendor profiles.

Within these, we cover a broad range of business topics including leadership, technologies, marketing, operations, commerce, strategic planning, digital transformation, analytics/reporting, people management, outsourcing, vendor solutions, process improvements, and business security.

Yes! We encourage it!

If our Analyst experts had to put everything they knew into written words, each report would be hundreds of pages long. This is why we enable Members to schedule calls with Analysts – to ask questions and get advice specific to the Member’s business strategy.

During Membership sign-up, you choose one of the many Call Packages we offer. Each one varies in cost and quantity, so you only pay for what you expect you’ll need.

When you see our affordable pricing, you may think there must be something you’re missing. Maybe the analysts are not as good, the research is not the same quality, or the hidden fees come later.

The simple reality is that we run an operationally cost-effective company. We also rely on advertising and sponsorships to support our business. Both of these truths enable us to keep membership prices low as we pass all of these cost savings on to you.

There’s no secret sauce – just a business model that puts client profitability first.

No! There are no hidden costs. Access to all online content and virtual analyst calls are included in the one-time Membership cost.

Members that wish to hire an Analyst for an in-person event (delivering a speech, leading an on-site advisory, teaching in-person workshops, etc.) can purchase these services separately though our Advisory Program. However, not every Analyst takes part in this program. Please see the analyst’s profile for more information.

ThinkCEO does have its own in-person events and conferences. Smaller events – such as invite-only local Member dinners – are often free. Tickets to larger ThinkCEO events and conferences are offered to Members, but at significantly discounted rates.

No! It’s for anyone that wants to “think” like a CEO.

What does that mean? It means understanding more than just a narrow part of operating a business. It means being able to think critically and strategically about opportunities and challenges. It means using research, data, and insights to support critical business decisions. And it means being able to be an effective leader - to motivate, inspire, and manage people effectively for achieving business success.

We promise to always be honest with you as a Member, so let us be honest with you now if you’re not one yet: Yes! The reality is that there are some business leaders that simply should not become ThinkCEO Members…at least not yet. This includes:

• Brand new businesses with very limited capital. If this is you, focusing on core investments that will build a broad, solid foundation for your business is what matters most. Most start-ups go out of business because they run out of capital, and we certainly don’t want to be the cause of that. However, once you’re on solid ground, we’d love to hear from you.
• Businesses seeking a full-service consulting solution. Of course, we’d love to have you as part of our community! But since we don’t support multi-year consulting projects or on-site tech installations, it might be best if you look at the expensive management consulting, enterprise research, and service integration firms for help.
• Business leaders that already know everything. If you’ve got it all figured out – you’re basically printing money, you have little/no competition, and you see early retirement on the horizon – then you’re good. We honestly have nothing to offer you except to say congratulations on your success!
