Every enterprising family has to decide when and how to transition ownership and leadership of their enterprise to the next generation. It is a significant challenge when you consider everything that is at stake: the future of the enterprise including the interests of various stakeholders, the family’s wealth, career opportunities for some family members and a network of family relationships.
A Blueprint for the Future will help you to navigate the transition effectively. It will clarify what you are trying to achieve as a family enterprise and how the enterprise, the owners and the wider family need to be governed in order to achieve your version of success.
The process I use to create a Blueprint is based on three very practical and thought provoking questions:
Why does your family want the enterprise to continue?
What roles will family members have in the future in ownership, leadership and governance?
How do the family and the business need to be organised to achieve what you want?
This is a thorough and methodical approach that will produce a Blueprint that is based on your traditions and values, and your aspirations for the future.
You need to decide who will participate in the discussions. I supply thought-provoking questionnaires and other materials to help participants explore various options for the future. I facilitate the discussions and provide the benefit of over 20 years’ experience of helping many family enterprises with the succession challenge.
