A second generation takes the business forward
Forty years of trust, one very tired business model.
Family business (anonymised) · Family business · Legacy · Growth
01 — Problem
The founder built it on relationships. The next generation could see a bigger business but had no mandate, no brand and no system to change anything without a family argument.
02 — Beginning
We ran the discovery with both generations in the room, so the plan belonged to the family rather than to a consultant.
03 — Build
- —A written strategy separating what must be kept from what must change
- —A modern brand that does not throw away the history
- —A new revenue line built alongside the existing one, not instead of it
- —Operating rhythm: planning, reporting and decision rights
04 — Result
- —A shared plan both generations signed
- —A second revenue line live
- —Decisions made in a meeting rather than at dinner
05 — Next steps
- —Succession plan
- —Acquisition of a complementary business
