Book excerpt: An interactive assessment tool and companion manual for wealthy families and their financial advisors that analyze the behaviors and knowledge that impact a family’s overall wealth, while also providing best practices needed for improvement The Family Wealth Sustainability Toolkit gives wealthy individuals, family offices, and the financial planners, advisors and wealth managers who counsel them, the tools they need to better assess their wealth sustainability skills. One part assessment software tool and one part companion book, the online Index allows readers to assess their family enterprise across four dimensions of sustainability, while the Manual acts both as a roadmap to analyzing their results and provides a foundation in best practices. The index asks individual family members to assess how much the family, as a unit, utilizes best practices to help build structures, decision making processes, and leadership over generations. The manual shows readers how to reflect on what’s working in their family to build and maintain sustainable wealth and how to fix what isn’t. Throughout both components, the authors emphasize the importance of human, intellectual, and social capital, as well as financial capital, as drivers to sustainability over the long haul. The Family Wealth Sustainability Toolkit: Helps affluent families and their advisors assess how well they are managing wealth now and for the future Evaluates wealth sustainability practices to help readers find out what’s working and what’s not Emphasizes the importance of human, intellectual, and social capital, as well as financial capital, in the quest for wealth sustainability Comprehensive and highly practical, The Family Wealth Sustainability Index carefully explains exactly how affluent families and their financial advisors can best utilize and prepare their wealth now and for generations to come.

Book excerpt: Dr. Fredda Herz Brown's latest book, "The Essential Roadmap: Navigating Family Enterprise Sustainability in a Changing World", helps readers to navigate the twists and turns of successfully sustaining a family-owned enterprise.A previous book, The Family Wealth Sustainability Toolkit: The Manual, was coauthored with former colleague and partner Fran Lotery. That book elaborated a model of family enterprise sustainability developed around four dimensions including Family Legacy and Connection, Governance Structure and Processes, Financial Accountability and Management and Human Capital and Leadership Development. Today, from her extensive experience with clients as well as data collected by her firm, Relative Solutions, that model has evolved to deal with the changing circumstances of enterprising families. Using primary research tools including The Family Enterprise Sustainability Index, it now includes an important fifth dimension of Generosity and Gratitude, which captures the sense of connection going beyond family and local community to a more global perspective. The Essential Roadmap: Navigating Family Enterprise Sustainability in a Changing World deeply examines these five dimensions and newly focuses on developing resilient family enterprises who are able to plan for the future and meet the twists and turns of a rapidly changing global world. The Relative Solutions team found that while sustainability sets a foundation and plots out a roadmap for moving ahead, something more is needed; that "something" is resilience, which is the ability to be resourceful and deal with change in the face of challenges and even adversity. Resilience is the ability to be agile, to bounce back and beyond-and to be better off for doing so. Resilience allows for change without impacting the family's core identity, its basic values and mission.The book sheds light on the paths to maintain a healthy enterprising family. It focuses on maintaining healthy resilient relationships and the development of behaviors that will provide the framework for the future. It suggests ways to handle the inherent challenges and conflicts that arise along the way. And it provides many rich examples of families who develop behaviors and structures in each of the dimensions to flourish and grow for generations to come.

Download or read book More Than Money written by Michael A. Cole and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new, more comprehensive approach to long-term family wealth management More Than Money provides a high-level, integrated approach to preserving both financial resources and family harmony. Research has shown a failure rate of 70 percent in long-term multigenerational wealth management, and contrary to popular assumption, only five percent of that failure is due to bad investment, poor tax planning, or inadequate performance by legal and financial advisors. The number-one reason family wealth management fails is the family itself; poor communication, lack of trust, divergent visions, and a failure to prepare succeeding generations will tear down the resources the family has worked so hard to build. Traditional wealth management cannot fix this. Instead, this book offers a fresh approach that integrates strategic and tactical wealth management to align the family’s assets with the family members. With helpful tools and advice drawn from a real-world understanding of family complexities, you’ll improve your ability to preserve your family’s resources over multiple generations. With an expert’s perspective on the real forces behind successful family wealth management, this book provides a clear model and a practical roadmap for long-term financial preservation. Develop a shared family vision and mission Improve communication and trust among members Merge strategic and tactical planning Ensure the longevity of your family’s wealth The wealth management sphere tends to focus on taxes, investments, banking, and estate planning, but little thought is given to the people themselves—this overlooks the fact that individual family members are the most critical factor in multigenerational wealth management, and fails to provide solutions.

Download or read book Family Business Building a sustainable future written by AA.VV. and published by Rubbettino Editore. This book was released on 2024-03-20T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work commemorates the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Italian Association of Family Enterprises (AIDAF). It does not adopt a retrospective perspective, nor is it a historical account. It is an essay about the future, taking the form of a dialogue between family businesses and the Italian academic community, combining scholarly rigor with pragmatism. It provides tangible points of reflection aimed at constructing and subsequently preserving the continuity and sustainability of the family-enterprise system. The dialogue is composed of twenty-five letters and their corresponding responses, organized into five sections: family, ownership, youth, business, and sustainability. The AIDAF-affiliated entrepreneurs pose inquiries on family business matters in the form of letters addressed to academics, who, in turn, provide concise essays in response. These exchanges encompass recurring issues such as generational succession, as well as more contemporary themes, such as sustainability and the management of large entrepreneurial families. The essay is not solely intended for AIDAF members; rather, it has been assembled to initiate a conversation with those who are involved with family businesses, including the new generations, entrepreneurs, managers, and professionals who collaborate with family enterprises, as well as students and enthusiasts of the subject. It is an invitation to those who harbor a curiosity about the world of family business. As in any dialogue, the hope here is to stimulate interest in continuing the exchange of perspectives, experiences, and knowledge, going beyond the pages of this book, and recognizing that the vitality and excellence of the fabric of family enterprises are fundamental for the development of a national system.
