Family Business Facilitation
How does Facilitation work?
Facilitation is a process that empowers families to find their own outcomes that best suit their needs, the future of the business and the farm.
​
Family business meeting facilitation involves the whole family or all of those family members who are impacted by the decisions around the future direction of the business.
​
Facilitators are not financial or legal experts, they are not consultants or mediators, they do not offer advice. Instead, they work with the family to identify the barriers, the issues or the breakdown in communication; address the concerns and fears of individual family members; and build a mutually agreed plan of action that will in turn move the family forward with positive solutions.
Facilitators can propose and convene expert advisers whether legal or financial, to support the process, the discussion, and the outcomes. In some instances, facilitators work alongside legal and financial advisers to support the outcomes and agreed next steps from the family meeting.
