Inside the project
Focus
How can a family business manage generational succession without losing its values?
This project focused on addressing the organization’s consulting needs within the context of family business dynamics.
Transformation in family businesses requires business logic and family logic to meet at the same table. This project designed that meeting.
Generational succession involved not just transferring authority, but redefining family values and organizational roles.
Scope
We worked on establishing the management structure of the family business. We held regular meetings with second-generation family members.
Implementation
HOW WAS GENERATIONAL SUCCESSION APPROACHED IN THIS PROJECT?
We approached generational succession not as a single handover, but as a multiyear process that translates family values into organizational roles. The family constitution and governance design are part of this framework.
The future of a family business lies not in its business plan, but in the family’s ability to connect its relationships with governance.

- 03BRING IT INTO THE ORGANIZATIONThe framework was turned into a structure connected to the organization's decision-making and working rhythm.
