To transition from founder to CEO, a leader often needs to change operational approaches, learning new frameworks for making better business decisions. But as a company grows, that same process can become a major risk to the entire business. A well-organized peer group can lower the risk of decisions by providing an outside, unbiased view of one’s thinking. The value often stems from a formal process where a significant decision is presented, along with supporting data and the rationale for the choice. While it can be a useful quick checklist, it may not include the rigorous, external review often needed for significant business decisions where personal biases pose a major risk.
