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.

What is the Value of Family in Family Philanthropy?
Family philanthropy offers families the opportunity to work together in service of a greater good—and in so doing, strengthen family relationships, transform individual participants, and address pressing social problems. But in today’s evolving landscape, family foundations—particularly more established ones—face a critical internal reckoning. More and more in our work with philanthropic families, we see family members questioning their roles and wondering if their contributions are truly meaningful. This introspection, fueled by a growing emphasis on equity and impact, raises a fundamental question: What is the value of our family in our family philanthropy now?

Governing Legacy: Going beyond the Governance Marathon
In this article originally published in FFI Practitioner, our Advisor Jeremy Cheng explores the dynamic nature of legacy within family enterprises and the critical role of governance in its evolution. He emphasizes that legacy is not a static inheritance but a co-constructed entity shaped by interactions between legacy “senders” (e.g., founders) and “receivers” (e.g., successors).
Crossing the Generational Chasm for Sustainability

How can families thrive in uncertain times?
Our latest book, The Enduring Enterprise showcases families from around the world who have thrived for generations under precisely these conditions, and what their survival and success have to teach business leaders everywhere. Why, you might wonder, would operating in New Delhi or Lagos have any relevance to some of the world’s most sophisticated businesses in New York or London?
The answer is simple: stability within these privileged environments is evaporating before our very eyes as we enter a New Age of Uncertainty.
