How Ian is building a better working world
“Family-owned enterprises are the backbone of the global economy. They have unique advantages and face unique challenges because of the overlap of the family and enterprise systems.
These challenges mean that only 30% of all family-owned enterprises survive into the second generation, only 12% will still be viable into the third generation and only three percent of all family enterprises make it to the fourth generation and beyond.
I help families succeed for generations by working with them to develop appropriate plans and structures to facilitate growth and improve family governance and succession outcomes.”
