Corporate governance
Aligning family and business structures for high performance
Effective management requires coordinated governance practices at every level to ensure alignment between family and business entities.
We support your family governance bodies in defining and implementing principles of efficiency, good governance, and participatory dynamics across all structures—from the Family Council to the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee—as well as in establishing effective operational agreements between them. The goal is to ensure your company’s growth and sustainability through aligned and impactful governance that drives high performance.
Why align family and corporate governance?
In a family business, aligning corporate governance with family governance is critical to ensure decision-making efficiency, maintain family unity and manage family interests coherently while supporting business growth.
Key Areas of Support:
Defining shared principles and processes for effective governance that aligns family and corporate bodies.
Enhancing communication and clarifying roles and responsibilities among different governance entities (Family Council, Board of Directors, Executive Committee), as well as their boundaries.
Optimizing team dynamics to harness collective intelligence.
Implementing effective and sustainable decision-making using participatory tools.
Psychological safety and participatory dynamics as foundations of high performance
At Teleos, we help you establish practices and tools that foster psychological safety, the essential foundation of collaboration and high performance.We also guide you in adopting participatory dynamics practices to promote the emergence of collective intelligence, collaboration and synergy through structured principles, tools and methods, ultimately catalyzing high performance.
One such method is consent-based decision-making, which involves integrating each person’s perspective into decisions until no one has any critical objections. This process ensures decisions are both relevant and sustainable.

How does Teleos support the optimization of your corporate governance?
Our process begins with an observation phase to analyze your dynamics and processes. This is followed by participatory workshops to address both structural and relational aspects.We then draft the necessary governance documentation, including organizational regulations, operational agreements, and charters (e.g., between Family Council/Board of Directors’ Presidents or between the President and CEO).
