Our Approach
Trusted advice to support the success of your family enterprise across generations
Family enterprises are complex systems
LGA’s approach is designed to bring clarity and alignment around your most critical family, ownership, and business issues.
Theory and Experience
Our intervention model is rooted in organizational theory and research and shaped by over 40 years of experience working with hundreds of leading family enterprises around the world.
Reactive and Proactive
We design projects that respond to the immediate needs expressed by our clients and also look ahead to the opportunities and risks of the future.
A Holistic, Systems Approach
We focus on the continuity of the entire system, addressing the unique dilemmas within each area and integrating them into a well-functioning whole. Our method builds understanding throughout the system, delivers transformational tools, and provides lasting clarity and support across generations.
Three Phases of Intervention
The LGA experience is defined by three phases of intervention, charting the path to your family enterprise continuity.
Phase I: The Continuity Audit
Diagnose your organization’s complexities and align around a Continuity Plan.
LGA engagements most often begin with a Continuity Audit, our signature diagnostic tool, to assess an enterprise’s capacity for multi-generational success and define a list of priority interventions to support the current and future needs of the system.
Phase II: Design & Implementation
Realize your ownership vision.
Each client intervention includes a concrete action plan, which we help you implement with expert advice and process support.
Phase III: Long-Term Support
Continuity is a journey, and the only permanent solutions are iterative.
The LGA team often provides ongoing support for structures, policies, and processes as your family and your enterprise continue to evolve, while our strategic focus shifts to maintenance and redesign as needed to support longer-term continuity.
