Taking Business Owners to an Enterprise View

• As the scope of a business-owning family’s activities expand and the family grows across generations, the organic shift from a business-centric family to a family-centric enterprise or “family enterprise” begins. The family is faced with the issue of how to preserve the family wealth and well-being beyond the first generation.
• Contrary to popular belief, it isn’t the size of the fortune that determines a family’s ability to build a successful family enterprise. Instead, family members must have a shared outlook that is characterized by a long-term view and rooted in a common sense of purpose, together with a proven set of behaviors and practices that enable success.

• What “taking the long-term view” means
• Explain characteristics of a successful family enterprise
• Describe the Family Enterprise Framework and identify 24 building blocks

Share and complete an assessment tool that can be utilized to develop an action plan to strengthen the family enterprise

Best Practice Presentation: Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan
All attendees welcome

• Families need a way to inventory the potential risks that can derail the goals of the family.  The FOX Risk Roadmap tool allows a family to assess both the known risks that families face and outlines the categories of potential unknown risks that could impact the future. This session will provide a lively discussion on risks associated with each Council member’s family. The goal is for you to use the tools provided to narrow down the list of risks to those most relevant for your family to review and consider.
