The Executive Summary
Partner with The Executive Summary

Teach the leaders you want to reach.

The Executive Summary is an alternative approach to executive education, combining research, insight, coaching, workshops and opinion for a community of chief executives and senior leaders in listed and privately owned companies, across three tracks of growth, AI and leadership.

It exists to help them make decisions, form strategy and fulfil their personal and professional potential.

Our partners help that community to learn.

Start a conversation

Three tracks.

Everything we research, publish, host and teach sits in one of three tracks, and that is also how a partner chooses where to stand.

Growth

How a company reaches its next phase of growth, working from the proposition and the positioning through to the conversations that actually close.

AI

What AI genuinely changes for a leadership team, judged on the evidence and on what it does to the work rather than on what the vendors are claiming this quarter.

Leadership

The judgement, the decisions and the personal capacity that senior roles demand, including the parts of the job that leaders rarely say out loud.

Who learns here

The people who decide, and the people who advise them.

  • CEOs and boardsIn listed companies and in privately owned ones, where they set the strategy, sign the budget and answer for the result.
  • Leadership teamsThe executives at FTSE, Fortune and large private companies who have to make that strategy real.
  • The City CIO ClubTechnology leaders at the City's largest employers, meeting under Chatham House rule.

Three ways to partner

Our partners help our community to learn, which is why every one of these puts something in front of a leader worth their attention rather than an advertisement around it.

Lead

Own the argument your market is having.

Research

Original research with the leaders who run FTSE and Fortune companies, published under both names and cited for years.

Media campaigns

One story in the briefing's voice, labelled as yours, still found in search and cited in AI answers months later.

Sponsorship

One partner per issue at the top of what CEOs read, three times a week.

Meet

Senior leaders around one table, one partner at each.

The City CIO Club↗

Dinners for the CIOs of the City's largest employers, under Chatham House rule, one partner per dinner.

The Board Table↗

Dinners, seminars and talks for the CEOs and CXOs who read the briefing, twelve to fifteen of them around one hard question.

Teach

Our frameworks taught and coached to your clients or your team, in your name.

Sponsored workshops

Growth, AI or Leadership taught to your client's team, with the agenda built around them and you in the room.

Sponsored coaching
