Diagnosis and
Treatment
Understanding the implications of family dynamics
on business requires both resourceful, diplomatic probing and a
knowledge of family function and organizational behavior.
Assessment includes both business considerations and issues of
governance. Influence in
the business is related to family position, and disagreements go home
with the participants.

Business Model
Looking at family owned
business (FOB), many people see solutions to the problems as if
the issues existed independent of the family ownership
structure. However,
business problems in a FOB are often a reflection of the family
structure and relationships.
By examining the multi-faceted relationships among the
family members, we seek to incorporate into the business
decisions the family values, constraints and structure.
As facilitators, we guide
discussions, in a safe, secure environment, where the family’s
emotions can be expressed, relationships adjusted, and conflicts
resolved.
Once the personal and
business goals are established, Fauecast coordinates the
professionals who work for the business.
We have a “Ready Reserve” of experts who supplement
the client firm’s current lawyers, accountants etc.
