V&A Management, LLC is proud to be associated with
“The affordable alternative to a high-paid Board of Directors”
Overview
Established in 1990, The Alternative Board® facilitates monthly peer advisory boards comprised of local owners, presidents and CEOs who run non-competing businesses. Each month members gather to share experience and solve challenges to grow to the next level.
TAB Boards® consist of presidents, CEOs, owners and managing partners of privately owned businesses. The boards of up to 10 members each meet monthly under the guidance of a TAB-Certified Facilitator/Coach. TAB Board members operate in a confidential, "think tank" atmosphere where they can present challenges and opportunities to one another for seasoned, practical advice from other owners. Board members also receive monthly one-on-one hour-long private coaching sessions from their facilitator/coach.
Because no one lays claim to the member’s business, the result is no-holds-barred feedback and a sounding board for best business practices.
Each facilitator/coach has extensive top-level business management experience and many have active consulting practices. Facilitators serve as executive coaches, guiding members through planning and development processes and moderating boards.
More than 200 TAB-Certified Facilitators/Coaches now conduct monthly board meetings across the United States, Canada and South America. Since its inception, thousands of businesses have benefited from the TAB process.
TAB membership provides valuable features:
Monthly TAB Board Meetings
A sounding board for ideas and a think tank environment that generates affordable, practical business advice and realistic solutions you can use immediately.
Private Coaching Sessions
This time with your TAB-Certified Facilitator/Coach, you will meet one-on-one to prepare your TAB Board meeting topics and explore significant business or personal issues on which you might benefit from executive coaching.
Strategic Business Leadership® (SBL)
An easy-to-use, personal and business planning process developed to meet the needs of the time-constrained small business owner. By helping owners lead their companies strategically, instead of by the “idea of the week,” SBL enables owners to achieve their personal and business visions of success.
TAB Business Vantage®
TAB developed an in-depth online analysis to give you a 360-degree look at your company. With more than 300 questions analyzing all areas of your business, the resulting report guides business owners to identify and prioritize the activities and actions necessary to take your company to the next level.
Guest Speakers
Additional educational and informational resources during board meetings to members on topics chosen by the board.
Why TAB?
Small to medium-sized businesses fuel a large portion of business across the globe. One of the challenges facing many of these business leaders is the lack of practical, seasoned advice. These businesses can use peer advisory boards to gain insights and solutions from professionals who can speak of similar situations through first-hand experience.
TAB Board meetings focus on practical solutions to your opportunities and challenges. This allows sharing of over 200 years of each board's collective business experience. Together, TAB Board members and TAB-Certified Facilitators work to create, implement, adjust and stay on track to achieve owners’ personal and business success goals.

Target Training International (TTI)
THE DISC LANGUAGE and TTI'S ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS
In today’s market companies are finding it essential to teach their employees how to better communicate with one another. The purpose of using DISC is to help individuals attain a greater knowledge of themselves as well as others. The ability to interact effectively with others could determine success or failure. By using DISC assessments, you are adding a much-needed tool to your management or coaching arsenal.
DISC is the universal language of observable human behavior. People, by “how they act,” have similar characteristics. By learning these characteristics, we can increase effective interpersonal communications and, therefore, increase our understanding and acceptance of each other.
DISC is NOT a measurement of intelligence, skills, experience, education or training. DISC is the language of “how we act” and exclusively measures observable behavior and related emotions. People with similar styles tend to exhibit specific types of behavior common to that style.
For over twenty years TTI has been the leader in conducting research and developing DISC assessments. Ongoing validity research places TTI’s DISC as one of the most highly validated assessments on the market. There are several different report variations to help meet the exact needs of an organization. The report is based on 384 different variations that measure both above and below the energy line on the graph. The result is a highly personalized report.
V&A Management has professionally certified CPBA and CPVA to assist their clients in the proper application of DISC assessments, leading to improved working relationships and enhanced talent management throughout the international business community. Available assessments include:
- Success Insights™ Management-Staff
- Success Insights Executive
- Success Insights Sales
- Success Insights Customer Service
- Success Insights Team Building
- Success Insights Time P.L.U.S.™
- Success Insights Interviewing Insights - General
- Success Insights Interviewing Insights – Sales
- Success Insights Communicating with Style
Other valuable assessments include:
Work Environment
If the job could speak. By prioritizing activities required by a particular job, the Work Environment instrument graphically displays the behavioral demands of a job. Then, a person’s natural or adapted behavior can be compared to those required by the job and show if behavioral stress level exists. Success or failure on a job many times is related to a person’s behavioral match to the job, or their perception of the job. The Work Environment software provides the basis for discovering the real issues. Reports can be generated on the job, people’s perception of the job, comparing perceptions or comparing a person’s natural or adapted style to the job. This is also a very useful tool for comparing two people’s perception of the job to resolve conflict and performance issues.
Sales Strategy Index
The Sales Strategy Index covers six different steps in the sales process: Prospecting, First Impressions, Qualifying, Demonstration, Influence and Closing. This program simplifies sales training, allows managing and coaching to be focused on the areas that produce results, builds confidence, identifies the sales strategy knowledge areas that are needed to sell a specific produce/service in a given market, identifies new sales applicant's strengths and weaknesses, and identifies specific training or management needs of a sales person or sales force.

Personal Interest, Attitude and Values
Why people do what they do affects performance both on and off the job. This report measures the relative prominence of six basic interest or motives: theoretical, utilitarian, aesthetic, social, individualistic, and traditional values. Values and Attitudes help to initiate one’s behavior and are sometimes called the hidden motivators because they are not always readily observed. The report illuminates those motivating factors and attitudes and allows a person to understand the driving forces behind their decisions. It is often used as a key part of the selection process.
