Generation6 | Family Enterprise Advisors

Generation6 supports enterprising families in strengthening and sustaining their businesses across generations. We deliver bespoke solutions to family enterprise challenges at the family, business, and ownership levels, and build family capacity and cohesion across all generations to reduce conflict and create a sustainable future. Strengthening the capability of family members as owners and stewards, and their ability to collaborate and make decisions together is at the core of our mission. We know that a strong family brings strength and value to its business, stakeholders, and community: That is why we focus on both family and business to nurture each for mutual benefit. We take no shortcuts. Our approach addresses the dynamics within the family and the strategic health of the business. A deep understanding of the relational, financial, operational, and business aspects of the family enterprise allows us to provide comprehensive services. Our team brings more than 200 years of combined experience in advising, educating, and researching thousands of business-owning families around the world. Together, we have worked with some of the world’s leading family businesses in nearly every industry, including manufacturing, agriculture, retail, food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, media, and entertainment. Our areas of expertise include family offices, family business governance (e.g., board formation and review, director searches, family council evaluations, policy development), family education and ownership development, succession and continuity planning, family dynamics (e.g., healthy communication and conflict resolution), philanthropy, and more.
