Family Identity Maison

To complement your cutting-edge legacy research, narration, curation, preservation & showcasing projects you may opt for legacy ateliers, legacy-based family identity ateliers, or a group identity project

Your long-term family, business, and overall success depends on your family harmony and alignment. Beyond our signature legacy curatorial projects, our emphasis stays on supporting you and your family even with any unique family identity, family culture, and successions-related ateliers as well as strategic legacy advisory. We work with your family-unique characteristics, the synergies between your family members, establishing or recalibrating your family rules of engagement helping achieve your legacy goals. Benefit from our strategic advisory and bespoke individual or group ateliers to strengthen bonds, smoothen family matters, anchor, engage and align your family members, and plan ahead for a thriving future with fitting solutions that honour your heritage whilst inspiring everyone to thrive in the long-run. You will also learn the skills necessary to realign whenever necessary.  Our Founder’s unique prowess in relevant cultural scientific fields, along with her exceptional expertise in family legacies, as well as seasoned topical expertise in business families, family businesses, and family foundations offer you a unique foundation to ensure that you successfully achieve your desired family legacy goals, including your own legacy marks.

Your family legacy represents the very spine that connects your family eras, generations, family members, various entities, and myriad of activities. All our bespoke projects are also ideal for families in the midst of, or even after a succession, or other transitions, e.g., around a liquidity event, and whenever there is already family fragmentation or apparent family dynamics-related matters. We may also help you set up a breathing and relevant family constitution, family council, etc., based on your family legacy, in which everyone feels empowered, engaged, and aligned.

Legacy Ateliers & Group Identity

Family Identity & Beyond

Legacy-based bespoke family culture, family identity, and family governance ateliers to anchor, engage, align your family members, enhance the family members’ belonging, and inspire everyone for generations to come. Re-evaluate and recalibrate your structures, rules of engagement, family regularities instead of regulations, and activities to best fit your family goals and expectations, as well as your family members’ individual aspirations. Via curated and facilitated ateliers or series, we are uniquely qualified to help you keep your family aligned and in harmony in the long-run.

Successful Successions

Ensure the success of your upcoming succession, or other transition, with a smooth, engaging, and inspiring transfer for everyone with any necessary re-evaluation and recalibration on many levels. Each family member is in transition and deserves appreciation, engagement, and understanding in where they fit in the process and why. Tailoring everyone’s experience, including the rising generation members, harnessing talents, creating anchoring, alignment and managing everyone’s goals, aspirations, and expectations is critical to keep inspiring for generations to come. 

Enhanced Group Identity

Should you need a fresh new group identity to consolidate and further elevate the your family group entities inspired by and building upon your roots and iconic family legacy, whilst also featuring the future-forward approach behind each business, driven by excellence and cutting-edge solutions, we can certainly meet and exceed your expectations. Our purposeful and bespoke designs will help you consolidate a robust new image and strategic presence that best represents your family group on a myriad of levels across cultures and keep anchoring, engaging, inspiring everyone.

It’s All About the Family & Family Legacy

Benefit from our Culturally-Enhanced Family Governance

Family governance is about family members, fusing everyone’s perceptions, expectations, and aspirations, building and shaping family culture and identity, along with establishing fitting, effective, and flexible structures. It is about enabling, enhancing, and building upon family members’ guardianship, stewardship, and custodianship mindset. A family governance journey should focus both on all the individuals as well as the overall family goals, including the long-term success of family harmony, businesses, various other entities, and activities. Capture, curate, and build upon your family’s past as a foundation and source of meaning (not only by evoking a few stories and historic references), bring it to a current relevance, revise the currently non-fitting aspects and add novel insights for everyone to benefit from. Whether someone is involved in the family business, foundation or family office, they would need to feel engaged, appreciated, and supported. Connecting family governance and identity projects with family legacy narration, curation, preservation, and showcasing projects further enhances the results for all these activities. Successful generational successions are not only about transferring the businesses, value frameworks, and limited historical backgrounds to the next generation. Your family fabric holds a multitude of intersecting and intertwined threads and layers from the previous and current generations making up your family legacy. To ensure a successful generational succession, all your different capitals, including your collective family intelligence, need to be transferred. It’s a transfer of knowledge, networks, and much beyond.
