Managing Future Uncertainty Using an Opportunity and Risk Framework

Sara Hamilton, Founder and CEO, Family Office Exchange

The FOX research focuses on a process for the family to address future uncertainties, recognizing both known and unknown risks a family may face in the 21st century. Families who can embrace change, seek opportunity, and manage uncertainty will create the most resilient enterprises of the future. The FOX framework profiles the multiple dimensions of the enterprise in relation to family alignment, shared vision, enterprise goals and strategies, governance and leadership talent.  The roadmap will help identify key areas of risk and allow us to discuss mitigation strategies that Council members should consider to counter critical areas of risk.
