Developing Effective Ownership
Chapter
Abstract
Developing effective ownership is not traditionally a part of a business’ strategic planning, but it is a critical element of the Parallel Planning Process. The fundamental presumption of the PPP is the integration of family and business; therefore the family’s goals as owners must support the business’ strategy.

- 3.A genogram is an expanded family tree that represents the family’s structure and relationships across multiple generations. Different types of relationships are designated using a standard notation. Typical relationship patterns include ‘close’, ‘conflicted’ and ‘cut-off’. Genograms note key family events and dates such as births, adoptions, deaths, marriages and divorces along with demographic information such as health, education or career experiences. For more information on genograms see M. McGoldrick, R. Gerson and S. Shellenberger, Genograms in Family Assessment and Intervention (2nd edn) (New York: Norton, 1999).Google Scholar
