We work with successful Asian families to help them establish communication platforms and decision making structures for both the family and the family enterprise.We facilitate family meetings to help the family talk about their vision and values and the relationship between the family and the family enterprise.

We help them to create the “rules of the road” so that family members know what to expect in the future.

We believe that the key to passing on a successful family enterprise that will flourish for at least five generations comes down to the way in which the family members make joint decisions together, and this is called family governance.

While our approach is tailored for every family, we often use the process of creating a family council and family constitution to help build the “family team”, to strengthen family unity, and to help the family resolve the specific issues that they have been unable to resolve on their own.

The process of creating family governance is a problem solving process.
