It’s All About the Family & Family Legacy

Benefit from our Culturally Enhanced Family Governance

Family governance is about family members, fusing everyone’s perceptions, expectations, and aspirations, building and shaping family culture, along with establishing fitting, effective, and flexible structures. It is about enabling, enhancing, and building upon family members’ guardianship, stewardship, and custodianship mindset. A family governance journey should focus both on all the individuals as well as the overall family goals, including the long-term success of family harmony, businesses, various other entities, and activities. Capture, curate, and build upon your family’s past as a foundation (not only by evoking a few stories and historic references), bring it to a current relevance, revise the currently non-fitting aspects and add novel insights for everyone to benefit from. Whether someone is involved in the family business, foundation or family office, they would need to feel engaged, appreciated, and supported. Connecting family governance and identity projects with family legacy curatorial projects enhances the results for all these activities.

Successful generational successions are not only about transferring the businesses, value frameworks, and limited historical backgrounds to the next generation. Family governance should be much more layered. Your family fabric holds a multitude of intersecting and intertwined threads from the previous and current generations making up your family legacy. To ensure a successful generational succession, all your different capitals, including your collective family intelligence, need to be transferred. It’s a transfer of knowledge, networks, and much beyond. Our Founder’s unique prowess in a myriad of cultural scientific fields as well as her multidisciplinary methodology, and framework, unique family legacy trajectory, other tools, and savoir-faire, may help you on your legacy journeys whilst enhancing your unique family culture and family governance in the long-run.
