Family Business Governance, Strategy and Change

Family businesses in Australia play a significant role in the economy, creating jobs, promoting growth, and developing communities. Yet, managing generational transitions has become a crucial challenge due to the ever-changing and complex business environment. The younger generations bring fresh perspectives, technology skills, and adaptability, which can be combined with the experience of older generations to keep family businesses competitive. Successful succession relies on effective governance, sound strategies, and effective change management to provide clear direction, achieve objectives, manage risks, and responsibly use resources.

Women in Leadership

Harness the potential of women in leadership within your organisation by providing them with the support and resources they need to develop and thrive. By investing in their growth, you can tap into a reservoir of energy and talent, enabling your organisation to leverage the unique advantages that women bring to leadership roles. Embracing and empowering women in leadership positions not only promotes gender diversity and equality but also enriches your organisational culture, fosters innovation, and drives sustainable success.

Executive Coaching

Executive coaching is a key that unlocks the full potential of your people, enabling them to maximise their performance and make a significant impact more quickly. By engaging in executive coaching, individuals are equipped with the necessary tools, insights, and support to accelerate their personal and professional growth.

By focusing on the development, improvement, and execution of strategies, structures, and processes, you facilitate continued sustainable growth. Our approach enables your organisation to evolve seamlessly, ensuring that you remain agile and competitive in a dynamic business landscape.

Culture Change

Culture is the foundation and the driving force upon which organisational performance is built. Your organisation already possesses a unique culture, making it imperative to proactively plan and nurture this one remaining distinct competitive advantage you hold. By intentionally shaping and evolving your culture, you can unlock its full potential and harness it as a catalyst for success.

Leadership and Management

Management and leadership are separate but interdependent skills. In the contemporary business landscape, it is essential to have leaders who possess the competence to effectively manage, as well as managers who can demonstrate effective leadership. By cultivating a workforce that embodies both leadership and management qualities, your business can thrive in the face of evolving challenges and seize opportunities for growth.

High Performing Teams

Teams can either work together harmoniously or struggle to collaborate effectively. However, it is within high-performing teams that the powerful and unbreakable connection between people and performance converges, ultimately ensuring the long-term profitability and success of your company. By fostering an environment that cultivates high-performing teams, you can harness the collective talents, skills, and synergy of your workforce to drive productivity, innovation and achieve desired outcomes.

Using Executive Coaching Successfully

Culture is not a Balance Sheet Item

Culture is not a balance sh eet item but it

dramatically impacts your b ottom line

“The two resources your competitors can’t copy ​are people and culture”1 ​In August 2016 Family Business Australia (FBA)

held its annual national conference. On a dozen

or more occasions over the two days of the

conference key note speakers emphasised the

critical role culture plays in shaping family

businesses.

What is culture? What creates a constructive, or a

“toxic” culture for that matter? It is not another

ephemeral feel-good concept. In the simplest of

explanations: Culture is the shared norms and

expectations that are shaped by the behaviours

that leaders encourage, discourage, or tolerate,

which inform people’s understanding of “how we

do things around here”.

Culture is like an organisation’s personality, it is

essential for creating an environment that allows

people throughout any organisation to do their

best work every day and derive satisfaction from

what they do. Far from being a fluffy feel-good

concept a strong culture is considered a critical

factor in building business success and

competitive advantage. Culture is driven from the

top of the business by family members and other

leaders within business. Our experience at

Viventé is it does not matter whether the initial

focus is on leadership or culture development

because if the starting point is about how to

shape the business’ culture it’s inevitable that

leadership will also become the subject of deeper

conversation and development, similarly the

reverse applies as the two are inextricably linked.

Another organisation cannot replicate your

culture, they can only admire it, or not.

Business owners who understand that culture is ​their invisible advantage are actively engaged in ​shaping their culture and using it as a key lever to ​build and sustain commercial and competitive ​advantage. At the FBA national conference John ​McLean, the CEO of Bundaberg Brewed Drinks, ​shared his family’s experience of what happened ​to their business and where he placed his focus ​when he resumed the CEO’s role.

"We appointed a non-family CEO and lost 250 ​years of corporate knowledge in a short space ​of time. Since taking back the CEO role I have ​devoted time and focus to rebuilding our ​family culture which continues to be essential ​to our success."

Leaders who ignore their culture, allowing it to ​emerge by accident, do so at their peril and risk ​turning a potent and potentially powerful asset ​into a liability that restrains the company from ​achieving its goals and outcomes and eventually ​requires substantial investment and time to ​correct.

Owners often raise with us the difference

between, and the importance of, engaging their

people, the climate in their organisation, and their

culture. Engagement is an individual measure of

the extent to which people have a positive or

negative emotional attachment to their job,

fellow team members, and their organisation.

Climate is the collective attitudes and feelings

held by people about what is going on now in the ​business and how they are feeling it, in other ​words how they experience the current culture. ​Engagement and Climate are lead indicators while

Culture and its outcomes are lag indicators. All

three are important in shaping and guiding a

business of any size and need to be understood by

the leaders. By understanding all three we get a

clear picture of the supporting or restraining

factors in play. Don’t dismiss culture as something

only “big corporates” have to be concerned with;

culture exists and plays a critical role in shaping

every business, no matter its size.
