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.

Welcome to the April edition of LGA Insights for 2026!
In this Edition, our colleague Neus Feliu explores the transition of independent directors from a mere “governance milestone” to a source of true strategic impact.
We also share a reflective piece by Mika Mazor, who challenges the common perception of conflict within the family enterprise. While many families view tension as a threat to be avoided or suppressed, Mika argues that silence is often the more dangerous signal, one that masks deeper systemic vulnerabilities.
