THE CEO TABLE™ BY FLUX B2B
From Our Table to Yours.
The room changes.
The thinking doesn’t.
TWO WAYS TO BRING THE CEO TABLE™ TO YOU
We’ve seen what happens when the right leaders come together around the right conversation. Perspectives shift. Assumptions are challenged. New possibilities emerge. And the decisions ahead become clearer.
Now we bring that same thinking, intelligence and experience into your business or your event.
IN YOUR BUSINESS

THE DIFFERENCE
Much more than
a facilitated conversation.
Anyone can bring people into a room. What matters is what happens when they’re there, and what becomes possible afterwards.
The CEO Table™ is built on a distinctive approach to convening leaders, challenging assumptions and making sense of today’s complex business issues.
FLUX BRINGS TOGETHER
The intelligence
Perspectives from ongoing conversations with CEOs and business leaders across New Zealand, giving your discussion a broader market context.
The strategic lens
Senior commercial and strategic judgment that helps identify tensions, opportunities and implications that may otherwise remain unseen.
The conversation
A carefully designed environment where the people in the room do the thinking, rather than listening to someone else’s answers.
The synthesis
We connect the threads of what is said, what remains unresolved and what it may mean for the decisions ahead.
The result is greater clarity and perspective about what matters and where to focus next.
IN YOUR BUSINESS
WHAT WE BRING
A tailored conversation designed around your business context and leadership priorities.
Relevant external intelligence and cross-pollinated perspectives from The CEO Table™.
Senior strategic facilitation that encourages open, constructive challenge.
Independent synthesis of the emerging themes, tensions and opportunities.
A clear articulation of what the conversation means and what may need to happen next.
Clarity on the real issue
Understand the tensions, assumptions and opportunities influencing your business.
WHERE IT CAN HELP
Strategy and direction
Explore changing market conditions, growth and adaptive opportunities, and future-focused strategic choices.
Every business reaches moments when the leadership team needs to step away from the day-to-day and think together. It’s never been more important to find time to think than today.
We’re living through unprecedented technology advancement, and amongst it all there’s a need to align on how to harness the pace of change and ensure the business sustains for the long term.
A strategic opportunity. A difficult decision. A changing market. An emerging technology. A tension that needs to be understood before the business can move forward. Each needs a new perspective.
Leadership Tables bring The CEO Table™ methodology into your organisation, tailored to the issue that matters most to your business. We work with your CEO, leadership team or board to create the conditions for candid discussion, challenge assumptions and build greater clarity around the decisions ahead.
AI readiness and leadership
Understand the implications of AI for your organisation, leadership priorities and future ways of working.
A clearer path forward
Identify where further decisions, alignment or strategic development may be required.
Leadership and organisational change
Name the tensions, explore different perspectives and clarify what needs to shift.
Boards and governance
Explore changing market conditions, growth and adaptive opportunities, and future-focused strategic choices.
THE DISTINCTION
This is not a strategy development engagement or a workshop designed to produce a completed strategic plan. It’s a strategically facilitated leadership conversation that creates the clarity and insight needed to inform what comes next.

Leadership Tables

A different perspective.

AT YOUR EVENT

As a dedicated experience
Commission a standalone Executive Roundtable for a carefully selected group of senior leaders, customers or partners.
WHAT IT CREATES
More meaningful executive engagement
Bring decision-makers together around issues they care about.
Some conversations are too important for a conference stage or conventional networking event. They need deeper, more intimate focus.
When you want to engage a select group of senior decision-makers around an industry challenge, emerging opportunity or shared market issue, we bring The CEO Table™ approach into your environment.
Executive Roundtables are curated, hosted experiences designed for your customers, prospects, partners or wider industry. They can be integrated into an existing event or delivered as a dedicated standalone experience.
Deeper market understanding
Hear different perspectives on emerging needs, challenges and opportunities.
Valuable intelligence
Turn the discussion into a synthesised set of insights that can inform future thinking, relationships and conversations.
DESIGNED AROUND THE CONVERSATION, NOT THE EVENT
We’re not an event management company. Our value lies in designing, convening and facilitating the right executive conversation, applying strategic intelligence and turning what emerges into meaningful insight. Where required, we can coordinate the necessary experience elements through an agreed delivery scope.

EXPERIENCE & PROOF
Built on real conversations
The CEO Table™ has brought together leaders across New Zealand to explore the challenges shaping business and the future. That experience now extends into bespoke leadership and executive environments.
“We’re almost 70 people with seven leaders, and how those seven show up sets the pace for everyone else. Flux came in with what they’re seeing in the market… It felt like having a peer in the room, not a vendor.”
AI Ora
AI ORA’s readiness assessment shows where the leadership team stands on AI. The harder question comes next: what do we do about it, and do we agree? The CEO Table™: AI Readiness and Alignment is that next step, bringing the leadership team together to turn the findings into one shared view of the next move.
IN THE BUSINESS
NZ Tech Expo
We designed and led the Executive Track at the first NZ Tech Expo: 27 roundtables in one day at Shed 10, with 15 hosts including AWS, NZTE and CreativeHQ. We turned more than 30 hours of conversation into The Tech Leaders’ Agenda: Findings 2026.
“Most events put leaders in rows and hope they talk afterwards. Flux flipped it. Every table had one question, the right people seated around it, and a facilitator who kept it honest…”
CEO × CPO Room
A working forum for the two leaders who most need to shape strategy together, and often don’t: the CEO and the Chief People Officer. Run with EMA and Best Places to Work™. The first session brought 30 leaders together in Auckland.
“Most organisations have three conversations about AI happening in separate rooms. Flux designed an experience that put the CEO and CPO in the same one…”
IN THE BUSINESS
Setpoint Solutions
A tailored session inside Setpoint’s leadership team meeting. We started with leadership: what we’re hearing from CEOs across New Zealand, and what it asks of a leadership team right now. Then we turned to the judgment layer. If AI does more of the work, what are clients paying for, and what happens to the billable hour?
