Generation6 Advisor Anneleen Michiels recently joined host Liesbeth Vandenrijt on the Troonopvolgers Podcast to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities of launching a family office. In this episode, they share how families can make strategic, values-based decisions that create lasting impact for future generations. Read Anneleen's tips below (click on 'translate' to see her post in English) and watch the full podcast (in Dutch) at bit.ly/48MEKWB.
In gesprek over family offices: inzichten en tips uit onderzoek en praktijk. Onlangs sprak ik met Liesbeth Vandenrijt voor de Troonopvolgers Podcast over de uitdagingen én kansen bij het opstarten van een family office. Dit thema raakt een kernpunt in mijn werk: hoe families strategisch én waarde-gedreven beslissingen kunnen nemen voor de lange termijn. Mijn tips voor families die een family office overwegen: 1️⃣ Een family office is méér dan een financieel vehikel. Het is een nieuw 'familiebedrijf' dat idealiter je waarden, visie en langetermijndoelen weerspiegelt. Start daarom met een goed gesprek over wat écht belangrijk is binnen de familie. 2️⃣ Houd je investeringsstrategie in lijn met je waarden. Zorg dat deze niet alleen financieel rendeert, maar ook versterkt wat de familie als belangrijk ziet. 3️⃣ Kies je team zorgvuldig. Een sterk, complementair team dat niet alleen technisch sterk is, maar ook goed "fit" met de familiale waarden en doelen, is essentieel. 🎧 Meer weten?

"Given how rapidly the environment in which companies operate is changing, past experiences alone no longer suffice to set the right course for the future. What a board needs today to set a successful course for the future is a window to the outside world – and collective intelligence." Generation6 Advisor and Head of Governance Practice, Claudia Binz Astrachan, Ph.D., and colleague Prof. Dr. Lars B. Sonderegger argue that on an ideal board, directors with different levels of experience, backgrounds, and interests form a cohesive team that pulls in the same direction, and that achieves more together than "the sum of their individual parts".
