Break the isolation of decision-making: adopt collective intelligence

The challenge facing SME managers: making strategic decisions alone

The managers of small and medium-sized businesses often find themselves alone when it comes to making crucial strategic decisions, in the absence of a management committee or external advice. This isolation can become a real hindrance, limiting the ability to take a step back and access informed advice.

Without an outside perspective or exchanges with peers, strategic decisions can be harder to structure, increasing the risk of mistakes or missed opportunities.

The Cross Boards: collective intelligence at the service of managers

To meet this challenge, the Cross Boards offers an innovative approach. The system is based on consultative, collaborative and flexible governance, where SME managers and volunteer experts help each other to make more informed decisions.

By joining a Cross Board, each manager benefits from :

  • An outside view of its strategic challenges.
  • Pragmatic advice based on the expertise of our peers.
  • A flexible, personalised approach tailored to the specific needs of your business.
  • A support network based on voluntary exchange and reciprocity.

How do the Cross Boards work?

The principle is simple but powerful: peer-to-peer exchange. Each entrepreneur forms his or her own advisory board by selecting volunteer advisers from a variety of backgrounds. These experts bring their vision, skills and a critical eye to the table, helping to clarify strategic decisions.

The key idea behind Cross Boards is based on a dynamic of mutual support: each member benefits from the advice of his or her group and, in return, contributes his or her expertise to others. This approach guarantees a mutually enriching sharing of experience and effective networking between entrepreneurs.

Managers can adjust the composition of their board as their needs change, ensuring maximum agility and relevance.

Join the Cross Boards experiment

Currently being tested by Sinabe and Prefix, this approach is looking to be extended to a wider network of entrepreneurs in order to structure a sustainable and autonomous model.

We are looking for :

  • Entrepreneurs wishing to benefit from Cross Boards and actively contribute to their development.
  • Volunteers who are willing to contribute their expertise and take part in Cross Boards.

Would you like to join the experiment and contribute to a new dynamic of collective intelligence?
