Getting family stakeholders together on a regular basis to share information and experiences is important in building strong families and family businesses.  A strong agenda and expert facilitation helps these meetings become most effective. 

From large inter-generational groups to smaller groups of sibling managers and spouses, retreats offer great ways to get new perspective, and renewed energy, to address the challenges of a new year or a new situation. 

While we are available to facilitate such meetings in a location of our clients’ choice, there is a unique advantage to visiting us in the Boston area.  Continuity has developed specialized programs with a leading experiential learning organization in the Boston area.  We provide challenge courses and cooperative games to teach teamwork, develop trust and improve communication through metaphorical learning.  These full day programs offer family members of all ages, opportunities to participate in a variety of challenging experiences involving ropes courses and games.  It’s a different kind of retreat which aims to be deeply enriching, memorable and a lot of fun.  Please contact us for more information.

Family Meeting Facilitation with Continuity Family Business Consulting

Meetings with stakeholders of family businesses can be difficult and risky, whether they are in the board room or the living room; with family or with key non-family members and advisors.  Such meetings can often begin casually and escalate into conflict.  Or, they can be well planned but still not accomplish their intended purpose.  

Continuity’s experienced advisors help stakeholders prepare and hold effective meetings and help them be better prepared for the inevitable impromptu meeting.
 
We accomplish this by helping all stakeholders:
  • better understand their roles in the family business 
  • better understand the mechanics of running successful meetings
  • create appropriate venues and practices to talk about difficult or conflictual issues
  • build alignment of strategic goals and vision in both business and family 
  • communicate better in business and with family
The importance of being able to hold productive meetings while managing the inherent conflicts among stakeholders in a family business cannot be overstated.  Meetings are how we get things done, how we grow relationships, and how we maintain alignment in our strategic goals and vision.
