BiggerBite
Council members seated for a recurring advisory discussion.

Advisory councils that create recurring feedback, trust, and momentum.

BiggerBite helps organizations build advisory councils that bring selected members together on a recurring cadence. We help define the purpose, membership, agenda, invitation process, discussion guide, reporting, and follow-up.

Plan an EventCompare to roundtables

A program, not a single event

An advisory council is built on a charter, and it is designed to meet again.

Where a roundtable is one session on one issue, a council is designed to meet again. Membership, cadence, and purpose are set in writing up front, and each meeting adds to a growing record rather than starting from scratch. BiggerBite manages the operations of every cycle so the council keeps its momentum.

How one cycle runs

  1. Charter

    We define the relationship goal, membership criteria, and cadence in writing before anyone is invited.

  2. Invite

    Guest list development, invitation positioning, an event page, and tracked RSVPs with reminders for that cycle.

  3. Meet

    A discussion guide built around the goal for this cycle, host preparation, and a timed agenda that carries continuity from the last meeting.

  4. Report

    Survey or feedback capture and a relationship report after the cycle, with follow-up recommendations and next actions by owner.

  5. Rotate

    New members can join and existing members can step off between cycles, without disrupting the council's momentum.

Who sits on the council

  • Customers
  • Clinicians
  • Advisors

When a council is worth starting

  1. 01You need a standing channel for customer feedback that keeps building over multiple cycles instead of a one-off survey.
  2. 02Adoption and education need input from clinicians or providers on an ongoing basis, not a single meeting.
  3. 03Key partners should have a formal, recurring seat at the table to shape direction and surface concerns early.
  4. 04Investors and advisors want visibility into progress and a structured way to weigh in between formal updates.
  5. 05Community or market stakeholders need a consistent forum where their input is documented and followed up on.
  6. 06A recurring council of respected voices would build credibility in a category while surfacing real market signal.

What each cycle's report shows

Each cycle produces a report, and over time those reports form a running record of the council's themes.

  • RSVP and attendance summary, cycle over cycle
  • Engagement signals across members
  • Feedback themes and how they trend over time
  • Questions and concerns raised by the council
  • Referral opportunities and sponsor or partner signals
  • Next-step recommendations
  • Assigned owners for follow-up before the next cycle

Related services

Advisory councils are one of the ways BiggerBite runs the Advisory Councils and Roundtables service, or fit into a broader Connection Operating System alongside other formats. A Relationship Growth Pilot is a good way to test one cycle before committing to a full charter, and the Connection Audit can confirm a council is the right format at all.

Not sure a recurring commitment is right yet? Start with a single executive roundtable to test the topic and audience, or consider private dinners for a smaller, less formal group.

Frequently asked questions

How is an advisory council different from a roundtable?
A roundtable is a single session on one issue. A council is a recurring group that meets on a set cadence, guided by a written charter, with continuity between meetings.
How often does a council typically meet?
Most meet quarterly or twice a year. The right cadence depends on how quickly the topic and membership change.
What goes into the charter?
Purpose, membership criteria, meeting cadence, and expectations for members, agreed before the first session is scheduled.
How does membership change over time?
The charter defines a rotation plan, so new members can join and existing members can step off without disrupting continuity.
Does BiggerBite manage every cycle of the council?
Yes. BiggerBite manages recruitment, meeting planning, the discussion guide, continuity between cycles, and reporting, so the council keeps momentum between sessions.
