What Is TAB Israel?
TAB Israel is the Israeli branch of The Alternative Board, bringing proven global peer-advisory frameworks to Israeli business leaders.

How Peer Advisory Boards Work
A TAB board is an intimate, confidential group of non-competing business owners (typically 6–10 members) that meets once a month for a 4-hour working session, led by a certified TAB facilitator. Members bring real business challenges to the board and receive practical, experience-based perspectives from fellow owners who have faced similar situations.
- Monthly board meetings — structured problem-solving with a private board of peers
- One-on-one coaching sessions — monthly private coaching with your facilitator
- Strategic tools — access to proven TAB planning and execution frameworks
- Confidentiality — a safe environment where members share openly
Peer advisory boards help CEOs gain diverse perspectives, solve complex business challenges, hold themselves accountable, and avoid the isolation of leadership.
