Family Enterprise Advisory Services
Advisory at the Intersection of Family, Ownership, and Enterprise
Generation6 advises multigenerational families on the challenges that arise where family, ownership, and enterprise intersect. Our work helps families strengthen alignment, clarify decision-making, and build the stewardship capacity required for long-term continuity.
From governance design and family office advisory to ownership education and family development, we provide bespoke advisory services tailored to where your family is today and the goals you are working toward. Our approach is grounded in deep family enterprise expertise, research-informed methods, and the belief that continuity depends on people as much as structures.
We are here to help families get to the 6th generation and beyond of family ownership and stewardship.
Our Areas of Expertise
Our advisory work is organized across four integrated practice areas. Each one addresses a different dimension of continuity while working together to strengthen family capacity, ownership effectiveness, and enterprise stewardship over time.

How We Work
Generation6’s advisory approach is tailored, relational, and designed to evolve with the family system it serves. We do not impose predefined structures or standardized solutions. Instead, we work alongside families as long-term partners, combining rigorous analysis with practical guidance shaped by each family’s context, maturity, and long-term priorities.
Distinct, Not Standardized
Every family system reflects its own history, values, and complexity. Solutions must fit the system they serve.
Relational, Not Solely Structural
Governance matters, but relationships determine whether structures function effectively over time.
Designed to Evolve
Family enterprises are living systems. Structures, leadership, and ownership capability must evolve as families expand across generations.
Families often come to this work when ownership grows more complex, transition becomes more urgent, or continuity requires greater clarity across generations. Thoughtful advisory support can help create the alignment, capability, and shared understanding needed to move forward.
Let’s Continue the Conversation
Whether your family is preparing for generational transition, strengthening governance, developing owners, or evolving a family office, Generation6 works alongside families to build the capacity required for continuity.
