We treat all family enterprises as systems

They have dynamic and overlapping subsystems: Business, Ownership and Family. Continuity requires planning and action across all three over time.

A commitment to continuity requires a clear and energizing vision for future ownership along with the structures, policies and processes, and leadership to achieve it. These activities are typically governed by a network of Boards and committees that ensure the shared vision of the owners is aligned with business strategy and family values. These values often include important messages to family owners about stewarding wealth responsibly, and opportunities to achieve important social change and leave a family legacy via Family Philanthropy.

All families are unique, though they also share many common characteristics, challenges, and opportunities. Members typically align around their core values and an emotional connection to a common entrepreneurial legacy. Their activities are often focused around connection, engagement, education and impact and governed by a Family Council.
Enterprising families often oversee a range of activities including operating companies and investment portfolios. Long-term planning across complex entities requires strategic alignment, effective leadership, clear guidelines for family involvement, and effective communication with a broad array of stakeholders. These initiatives are typically governed by top executives in collaboration with a Board and Family Council.

Jobs vs. Wealth

Family leaders must have the courage and stamina to create an inclusive, participative, and results-driven culture in the family and business, supported by the right policies and systems. Such a foundation will set the stage for a family legacy which both sustains across multiple future generations, and grows along the way with each group driving growth and diversification and making its own mark.

Growing up Green

Why is it hard to find good successors? We believe that the root issues occur earlier in the lives of next-gen members, linked to the manner in which they experience their family’s wealth and legacy during adolescence and early adulthood.
