Family Business Governance Strategies

For many senior generation family members, decision making was simple.  You wanted to do something and you did it. While all corporations are required to have boards of directors, for many family businesses their function is perfunctory.

But now, with another generation on board, the base of input has broadened. Family business governance strategies have changed - How many family members should serve on your Board?  What about non-family members? Should you consider a board of advisors as well?

 Hear Paul Karofsky discuss the importance of
family business governance strategies.

“Once we realized that all the shareholders were not quite ‘on the same page,’ we felt we needed help in conducting family meetings to reach consensus. Transition Consulting Group was able to assist us with some of the more sensitive issues on a very discrete basis. With their help, we established a three generation Family Council which allowed us to openly discuss the family’s history, culture, and the values of a legacy brand as well as the next generation’s commitment to our family business. They helped us to move forward in a positive way with a clearer sense of direction.”

A compelling argument for strategic planning: "Unless you know where the business is headed, how do you know what knowledge, skill, and experience are required of the next leader to get it there?"
