How We Work With Families - Stage 1
As family business facilitators our starting point is getting to know all family members. It starts with a one on one meeting where we get to know each other. What motivates you, what trouble you, the issues you believe the family needs to address, what do you really want to achieve?
FBRC Family Business Development Process
Though each family business is unique and therefore there is no one right answer, we have developed a process that provides a framework for the work we do with clients. This process is the outcome of working with 100's of family businesses since 1998.
2 Circle Model
Family businesses combine two very different value systems, those of the family and the business. Many of the issues that arise occur when there is confusion between which 'rule book' to apply to a specific situation. Should we deal with this issue from the perspective of the head or the heart? This model is a useful tool for explaining the differences.
3 Circle Model
As the family business professionalises the business dimension splits into two distinct areas - Ownership and Management. A useful model for depicting the overlap of these roles is the 3 Circle model. It identifies 7 different roles that participants in the family business might have. Role confusion often gives rise to conflict and this model is a useful tool for understanding the perceptions of others' in the family business system.
3D Developmental Model
If we look at each of the 3 dimensions of a family business - Business, Family and Ownership, we find that a number of key events are predictable in each dimension. This powerful model helps you position where your family business currently sits, and then helps to predict the issues you will deal with in each dimension both now and in the future.
Developing Family Values
The Third Stage in the FBRC Family Business Development Process looks at ensuring that the appropriate governance structures are in place for both the business and the family. The video explores these structures.
Developing a Family Business Charter
Developing a Charter or Constitution for your family business is a key step in managing expectations and maintaining harmony. The Charter sets out 'The Rules of the Game'. How your family business manages the overlap between the business and the family. There's no one set of rules that applies to every family, and in reality no matter how hard you try you will never cover every potential eventuality. This video provides a framework for developing an effective Family Carter.
Family Business Governance Systems
Having appropriate governance systems for both the business and the family is a key step in navigating the overlap between the business and the family.
Succession Planning - Starting the Conversation
Starting the conversation is often one of the greatest challenges when it comes to initiating the discussion about business succession. Next Genners, who are often keen to start the process, find that they meet resistance from their parents. This video discusses an alternative approach to having this critical conversation.
Succession Planning - Transition Timelines
Family members can have a number off roles in the Family Business. When it comes to planning for transition, this powerful tool helps focus the discussion on the roles various family members plan to move into, or out of.
