Why Governance Matters: The Bedrock of Sustainable Success

Strong governance is essential for sustainable growth, fraud reduction and wealth preservation. 

• Investors & Entrepreneurs: Good governance, through a strong board or otherwise, is key ensure transparency, strategic resilience, and disciplined oversight. 

• Families: Robust family governance frameworks, including family councils and family constitutions, clarify roles, resolve conflicts, and smooth succession planning for multi-generational wealth transfer and estate planning.

• Impact Investors & Institutions: Clear governance structures are vital for credibility, effective estate planning, and achieving measurable results.

Without tailored governance, even sophisticated structures and investment strategies can falter in times of transition, dispute, or crisis.

According to Harvard Business Review (2023), 85% of directors on listed company boards are independent, which is strongly correlated with improved performance and better market valuations (source: HBR, “The Case for More Company Insiders on Boards”)

85%

Only about 30% of family businesses survive into the second generation, and this declines to 12–15% by the third generation. A lack of formal governance and succession planning are major contributors to high failure rates, while businesses with robust governance structures show far higher continuity (source: The Mencius Advisory, “Not Another Number: Defying the Next-Gen Statistics”).

The Independence Advantage—Objectivity in Complex Decisions

Independent advisors offer conflict-free counsel — free from product bias or internal interests.

• For businesses, independent board members and supervisory boards drive accountability and challenge assumptions.

• Family disputes, succession planning, and intergenerational transitions benefit from outside neutrality.
