When your founding generation started your family business, decision-making was simple. Family, business, and ownership decisions were discussed and debated around the dining room table.
Your family enterprise has evolved significantly from its early years. Now there is a need to create resilient structures and processes which clearly define and differentiate where ownership, corporate, executive, and family decision making will work – and be integrated without interfering with each other.
GTA team members have experience working with large business-owning families globally to design appropriate governance structures. We recognize that most families do not know how to run high-performing Family Councils, Owner Councils, and Boards. Our objective is to design these structures with you and to develop family and non-family members as leaders who can sustain the momentum of the organization over the long term with limited intervention from advisors.
Our mission is to partner with large family enterprise systems globally to build resilient enterprises, which will successfully transition to the next generation
We believe that both the family ownership group and the next generation need to engage together to prepare for ownership and leadership transition
We work with the senior and next generation to develop structures, teamwork, and skills that build strong cross-generational partnerships

What has surprised us is the level of empathy that is so present in your teams. We have never trusted nor “opened ourselves up” in the way a have with GTA. However, we’re glad we have, it’s accelerated our progress in achieving our goals
