Planning & Facilitation of a Two-Day Family Business Seminar

The objective of this seminar was to prepare for the transition from one generation (several siblings) to their children. To achieve this, we developed a solution focused on three key areas:

1. New governance structure
   • Emphasized leadership within the family and the role of each member.
   • Explored strategies to strengthen family governance and ensure a smooth transition.
2. Creation of a family association & philanthropic organization
   • Guided the family in establishing a formal family association to maintain strong ties and support shared objectives.
   • Explored the creation of a philanthropic organization to promote meaningful charitable initiatives.
3. Company history & key lessons learned
   • Analyzed the family business’s history, highlighting both successes and challenges.
   • Identified key takeaways to guide the next generation in sustaining and evolving the business.

The implementation of these solutions led to significant results:

1. Appointment of a new Supervisory Board to oversee governance and strategic direction.
2. Establishment of a Family Association to formalize family ties and shared values.
3. Creation of a Philanthropic Organization to support meaningful charitable initiatives.
4. Definition of roles and responsibilities for each child, ensuring a structured and smooth generational transition.
