Pasión por las empresas familiares y liderazgo en la generación de conocimiento.

Lansberg Gersick Advisors (LGA) es una firma de asesoría reconocida a nivel mundial, dedicada a apoyar el éxito sostenible de empresas familiares multigeneracionales.

LGA fue fundada en 1997 por los Doctores Ivan Lansberg y Kelin Gersick, impulsados inicialmente por una pasión compartida y una profunda curiosidad sobre sus propias empresas familiares, así como por una firme creencia en el papel fundamental de las familias en los aspectos más importantes de la vida: el trabajo, el amor y el propósito. A partir de sus trayectorias como profesores universitarios, los fundadores sentaron las bases de una firma comprometida con el liderazgo intelectual, publicando seminal books, conducting landmark research, and establishing key frameworks for continuity planning that have become global standards throughout the field. This stems from our genuine curiosity about families and organizations, and a devotion to helping our clients realize their shared aspirations and dreams.

Today our team of over 40 advisors supports the continuity of hundreds of enterprising families around the world, as they each navigate the unique ownership, business, and family challenges that emerge around complex governance dilemmas, particularly at moments of generational transitions.

With a global reach spanning six continents and over 30 countries, LGA proudly serves leading families worldwide. Our diverse clientele includes Fortune 500 companies, multi-generational family businesses, global family offices, and philanthropic families, all seeking to build an enduring enterprise.

Asesoría

Facilitamos el cambio que su familia empresaria necesita para construir el legado que desea proyectar.

Durante el último cuarto de siglo, hemos aprendido que cada familia empresaria es única, y al mismo tiempo, que todas se parecen. Ambas afirmaciones son igualmente válidas. Nuestro equipo puede ayudar a las familias empresarias a aprovechar las fortalezas particulares del grupo familiar para alcanzar sus metas compartidas, guiándolas, al mismo tiempo, a navegar los desafíos típicos que enfrentan todas las empresas familiares a medida que se vuelven más complejas.

Our methodology is both diagnostic and systemic, built upon the Three Circle Model and the Seven Drivers of Continuity. Through our signature Continuity Audit, we thoroughly assess your family enterprise to identify critical issues that could impede continuity. This individualized assessment allows us to integrate the latest academic research with practical insights, developing targeted interventions that address the specific needs and sometimes conflicting goals of various stakeholders within your complex system.

We actively listen to understand your family members’ individual concerns, values and aspirations, and frame them within the broader collective goals of the family, with an aim to identify barriers that could hinder your success. This allows our recommendations to be precisely tailored to address your unique needs, while remaining grounded in our experience supporting hundreds of other families around the world.

We pride ourselves on being among our clients’ most trusted advisors, helping to guide the development and implementation of effective governance systems and succession plans. We ensure these strategies align with your family ′s core values and vision, safeguarding your legacy for generations to come. Furthermore, we are committed to building your internal capacity so you can better leverage your human capital throughout the enterprise.

Our goal is not just for you to follow our advice, but to understand why new approaches are needed and effective, enabling you to sustain these structures, policies and processes long after our direct intervention concludes.

Formación

Our theories and frameworks have been widely adopted throughout the field.

We recognize that family enterprises are not merely economic assets, but also enduring institutions that touch the lives of many stakeholders over decades and even centuries. Consequently, the effectiveness of their owners is often a primary driver of employment, development, and innovation around the world.

At LGA, we are committed to helping our clients become the best versions of themselves through ongoing education—becoming purposeful stewards of the wealth and organizations under their guidance and care.

As a firm, we also pride ourselves on being thought leaders in the family enterprise field. We hold that nothing is more practical than a good theory, a conviction that underpins our commitment to research and the development of conceptual models of family enterprise. La mayoría de nuestros asesores son académicos o suelen dar conferencias en universidades, congresos y eventos privados. Tenemos relaciones académicas destacadas con la Kellogg School of Management de la Northwestern University, la Escuela de Administración de la Universidad de Yale, y la Universidad de Harvard, entre otras.

Además de la enseñanza en universidades, diseñamos y ofrecemos programas de formación privados para familias emprendedoras y empresarias que desean ir más allá de la formación ejecutiva y los eventos de networking. We help them design experiential learning workshops and customized Owners Academies to support and develop their human capital, expanding the bench of leadership talent for the future.

We also publish insights on topics of relevance to family enterprises in articles, books, podcasts, and more. We provide these materials to our current and former clients, as well as the broader community, enabling emerging leaders in family enterprises to shape their own unique path to generational continuity, regardless of their current size and influence.
