Family Business
Every business faces transition and change, but family businesses are complex as there is the unique challenge of balancing family and business.
Respect the Past, Appreciate the Future
The sooner you begin creating an intentional culture and using strategic planning to prepare the next generation and the future of the company, the more benefits you will find.

Succession Planning Is A Necessary Business Strategy
Leadership transition leaves an organization at risk for a crisis, and family businesses are especially vulnerable. Transitioning your business to the next generation can be complex. Some owners, fearing the strain and disruption a transition may cause among family members and the business, opt to delay key succession efforts.
All family businesses, should they continue, will eventually transition to new leaders. For families wanting to maintain ownership of their family businesses, it’s even more important that next-generation leadership and succession planning begin sooner rather than later. Waiting could be detrimental to the business’s financial health and future growth.
Velocity helps family-owned businesses plan for leadership continuity through strategic planning, providing objective/thoughtful insights, facilitation, and guidance through this critical process.
