Family strategy

A lever for clarity, transparency, and cohesion

Family strategy is based on developing a shared vision for the future and a family charter that defines the governance rules the family wishes to implement for effective care and management of the family. We assist you in crafting these two foundational elements through inclusive processes that unite the family and ensure the sustainable performance of your family ecosystem.

Why is family strategy essential for effective family governance?

For a family business to thrive across generations, it must have a clear vision and establish governance standards that ensure fairness and transparency among family members. These family governance mechanisms foster long-lasting harmony and cohesion, while also improving alignment between the family and the business. Key Questions We Help You Address:

What are our family values?
Why do we want to continue this family project together?
How can we formalize effective family governance for the long term?
What are our objectives for the next 20 years?

The transition from the third to the fourth generation of UCB family shareholders had been carefully planned for more than a decade by my aunts, uncle and father. My three cousins and I knew that we were likely to work together for at least twenty years to support the future innovations and growth of UCB. The competition of the succession process and numerous other unstated issues had somewhat come in the way of our deep friendship and mutual respect. In less than two days of work, Sophie helped us come to the core of those issues, feel them, express them clearly and move forward with a stronger than ever sense of unity and purpose. Those two days have nourished our interactions over the last years.
