Family Business Consulting
Family businesses have always been the most complicated intersection of commerce, ownership, management, family dynamics, and personalities. However, today with the increasingly fast pace of change in the business world combined with the rapid changes in our families and our multi-generational society, the word "challenging" is an understatement. Navigating this daily complexity from both a business and family perspective while also preparing for the family and business's long-term success requires strategic vigilance, constant learning, reflection, and practical solutions. Having a trusted, collaborative, and well-rounded family business expert with over 20 years of experience working with hundreds of family businesses can be a valuable resource.
My services might vary from providing executive coaching, leadership development, succession planning, family business education, governance consulting, strategic planning, conflict resolution, board development, to helping with family philanthropy. Regardless of your industry, the size of your business, your culture, or generation, my approach always begins and ends with the same promise to respect your unique family and business goals. I am here to help you along your journey of the wonderful world of family business.

Testimonials
“Mark Green helped set us on a successful path for a generational and leadership transition. Let him help you arrive at a stronger place for your business and your family.”
“Families have no successions – only transitions. Mark Green explains why so many of those generational transitions fail because an older generation of a family blocks the natural development of later family generation members, often, he explains, because of fundamentally different world views. He then artfully and with great experience explains how to diagnose a generational blockage and how, with sensitivity and tact, to dissolve it proactively toward a successful family evolution.”
“I thank you over and over again for all of your work with our family. Without you, it is scary to think where we would be. I am so thankful.”
“Mark Green does a superb job of bringing the generational stack-up to life. Family business research and practice has traditionally looked at the transfer from one generation to another but Inside the Multi-Generational Family Business captures today’s realities of the multi-generational enterprises where up to five generations are occupying the workplace. A must-read book for all progressive individuals who care to reap the opportunities of generational stack-up while effectively negotiating the related confusion and frustrations.”
“If our 73-year-old, third-generation family business survives, it will in good measure be due to the sound advice from Inside the Multi-Generational Family Business. It shows us the big picture and in turn helps to improve communication within the family. I highly recommend this book.”
