What We Do

This is the space to think honestly.

Most commercial leaders are expected to make high-impact decisions without a place to properly test their thinking. CLIC exists to give them that room.

 

A small, carefully curated environment where senior commercial professionals step out of the day to day, speak honestly, and challenge how they're operating alongside others doing the same.

Roundtables

Peer-led discussions. Off-record. Built around a question rather than a presentation. The work is in the room, not on a slide deck.

Mentorship

One hour a month with a senior commercial leader who has been where you are. Free for members.

Real industry experience, not textbook advice.

One-off conferences and set-piece events we're planning across the year. Bigger rooms than the regular

format, same standard of conversation.

Insight

Real discussions on live commercial challenges. Not theory. Not recycled CPD content. The conversation is shaped by what members are actually dealing with this quarter.

Every session is designed to give members something concrete to take back to their business.

Connection

Hear how others at your level are approaching the same problems. Build relationships with people who get it, not surface-level contacts.

 

Every member is vetted. Every conversation is with someone operating at your level or above.

Action

Leave with at least one decision you'd make differently. Ideas without execution mean nothing.

 

Every session is shaped to drive a change in how you operate, not just what you know.

Insight

Real discussions on live commercial challenges. Not theory. Not recycled CPD content.

Confidentiality

Chatham House throughout. Nothing gets attributed. That's what makes members bring the real issues.

Connection

Vetted peers operating at your level. Real relationships, not directory listings.

What you get from being in the room

Action.

Leave with one decision you'd make differently. Ideas without execution mean nothing.

Cross-sector.

Tier-one, civils, M&E and specialist consultancies in the same room. That mix is what makes the conversation useful.

Selective access

Small rooms, tight invite list. Applications reviewed by the Chair personally.

Head of Commercial

“There’s nothing else like it. A room full of people from different sectors, all openly sharing what’s working, what’s not - it’s rare and hugely valuable.”

“It didn’t feel like another CPD event - it was real talk, real opinions, and actual insights that I’ll be thinking about for weeks.”

"It’s rare to walk into something like that and leave with a real shift in thinking. I did. That’s when you know it’s worth doing again.”
