Organizational Development for Family Owned Businesses
Is our business structured and organized in a way that capitalizes on our strengths and that will help us attain our growth goals?
Many family businesses frequently contemplate though rarely address this important question. Businesses often talk about change but do not know what process, approach, or analysis is necessary to promote and sustain organizational and family growth.
Organizational development considers all systems within the organization through a carefully planned effort. It is concerned with the organization as a whole, the culture and goals of the family and it results in improved organizational effectiveness by using strategic implementation.
Family and ownership changes often occur when a business is struggling. The Network of Family Businesses, LLC believes that dealing with issues during times of growth and well-being provides family businesses an excellent opportunity to make a good business better and to nurture long term family ownership and relationships. The Network provides additional resources to talk with those who are in the developmental process.
Family systems are complex and the need for accurate analysis and diagnosis is vital. Objective problem solving based on applied behavioral science is key for organizational development and for helping the family choose the appropriate path and process for building high-performance leaders and organizations.
