Sector context

- The wrong process can damage trust as much as value, and often for longer.
Recurring issues
The issues that tend to come back again and again
- Governance design for changing ownership dynamics and decision rights.
- Sensitive founder, principal, or family leadership transitions.
- Conflict management before disagreement hardens into a formal dispute.
