"The Club Leaders Forum Private Club Assessment was an incredibly valuable experience for all of us; the process itself was extremely thorough, touching on every area of our operation (both member-facing and back of the house). Even before the formal report was received the conversation at the club started to change.
Having a sense of how we stack up against the very best clubs in the U.S. and the World is beyond valuable to my Board and me. We are committed to being world-class in all that we do, but defining what that means has always been a struggle. Now, we have a clear road map of which areas we can improve in, and how. In addition, many of our past strategies and decisions were vindicated by the assessment, breathing new confidence into our strategic planning process.
It would be fair to say that the assessment has helped to crystallize our vision and to focus our team of paid and volunteer leaders behind key strategies that will take us to the top of the industry. We now have an objective third-party partner who can help steer us in the right direction while also continuing to objectively evaluate our strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats relative to our competitor set and the very best clubs. I highly recommend the process to anyone who is interested in taking their club to the next level."
