The Challenge

The questions families ask when ownership transfers.

Taking responsible decisions as owners is a challenging task. Enterprising families differ in how they prepare their next generation for this task.

Six questions that senior and next generations ask, often from very different vantage points.

What does responsible ownership mean to us?
How can we as the senior generation help our children to better understand the responsibility they are taking on?
What do they have to know, what type of experience should they have?
How can they learn to work together as a team and improve their communication?
How can we de-escalate emerging conflicts at an early stage?
How can they develop trust in each other and in the abilities of their siblings and cousins?
Our Approach

A program designed for your family, not off the shelf.

Every enterprising family is different. We design a program tailor-made for your next generation, then guide them through it.

01

Define what ownership means to you.

The starting point is always your family. What does responsible ownership mean in your context? What do the next generation members need to know, experience, and practise before they can carry the responsibility that comes with ownership?

No two families start from the same place.
02

Build the right curriculum.

From outlining internships and academic paths to picking external courses or designing a fully tailor-made program for 12 to 18 participants. We draw on what works, then adapt it to what your family actually needs.

Internships, courses, bespoke modules.
03

Deliver, observe, adjust.

The program runs over 12 to 36 months. Along the way, we observe group dynamics, address friction early, and adjust the curriculum as the participants develop. The goal is not just knowledge, but confidence and cohesion.

Confidence grows through practice.
"Designing a program tailor-made for the next generation of your enterprising family is the starting point for building the future."
