Family enterprises are the most common form of business, but also one of the most complex forms. When transitioning a family enterprise to the rising generation, more than the financial assets are at stake. The family’s cohesion and the relationships themselves are at great risk. Building a true multigenerational family legacy demands continuously working side-by-side and intentionally managing change as both the enterprise and family members evolve.  

 

Preserving family wealth is a dynamic process. It is important to help all family members, no matter what age or stage of life, be effective contributing members of their family enterprise team. Creating collective family development opportunities is among the most effective ways to build family capital and ensure advancement occurs. Further, as family enterprises grow in size and complexity, it’s critical to move beyond individual development and to advance the entire family.
