Private CEO Intensive
Highly focused private learning engagement for one CEO or founder.

Detailed purchasing questions.
Is this only for current CEOs?
No. The pathway can be used by current CEOs, founders, C-suite leaders and CEO-successor populations, with the level of examples and applied work adapted to the audience.
Can CEOBAL customise the programme?
Yes. Customisation begins with a paid discovery/scoping phase. Light contextualisation may be small; creation of new modules, cases, assessments or a client-specific curriculum is treated as separate design and production work.
Can a company buy this for a cohort?
Yes. Private cohorts can include diagnostics, live delivery, company cases, executive-sponsor reporting and follow-up implementation reviews.
Can it be licensed?
Where the content and delivery model are suitable, institutional, white-label or approved-partner licensing can be scoped separately.
Does the published price include bespoke build work?
No. Published or indicative programme pricing relates to the standard offer. Bespoke discovery, blueprinting, course creation, portal setup, localisation and integrations are additional commercial items.
What happens after completion?
Participants can progress into a certificate, advanced programme, assessment, CEO Accelerator, membership, advisory engagement or enterprise Academy pathway.
