Consultation
Family governance workshops
Practical workshops that set meeting rhythms, voting rules, and employment guidelines for relatives working in — or benefiting from — the firm.
Purpose
Succession fails quietly when nobody knows whether the “family meeting” can overrule the board, or whether a cousin can demand a job. Governance workshops create simple, written norms before those questions become flashpoints.
Typical agenda
- Distinguishing family forum, owners’ council, and company board
- Entry rules for relatives seeking employment
- Dividend expectations versus reinvestment
- How to raise a concern without ambushing a Sunday lunch
Families leave with a one-page charter and a calendar for the next twelve months of meetings.
