Family Governance
Family governance refers to the formalized structures, processes and systems that guide how family members interact with their family-owned business. It encompasses policies, rules and frameworks that align the family’s values, goals and roles with the operational and strategic needs of the business. Key components of family governance include a family constitution, family council, regular family meetings and succession planning.
Corporate Governance
Enterprise or Corporate governance refers to the set of rules, practices and processes through which the enterprise is directed and controlled. It establishes the framework for decision-making, accountability and performance monitoring, ensuring that the organization operates effectively, ethically, transparently and in alignment with its strategic objectives, stakeholder expectations, regulatory requirements and long-term sustainability goals.
