Our approach. Family & Business Ownership Network
Permanent investments in research, added to the practical experiences from the daily practice in strategic and management consulting for executives and entrepreneurs from various sectors of the economy consist in the credentials that allow Dextron to be positioned as a Top Management Consultancy associated to unique conceptual models such as the Strategic Insight Framework, Business Model Framework and Competence Based Management.
As a natural consequence of this positioning, the Family & Business Ownership Network (FBON) was born to be a center dedicated to the expansion and application of this wide portfolio of specialized knowledge in order to meet the needs and demands of one of the most intriguing and challenging entrepreneurial segments: the family-owned companies and the business-oriented families in charge of running them.
It is possible to notice that the sagas of business-oriented families and their businesses – both the ones that failed in the first or second generation and the ones that have survived for more than seven centuries (the oldest family-owned company dates back to 1.300!) – have relatively common characteristics, practices and behavioral traits, regardless of their origin, cultural orientation, size or sector.
The main objectives set by business-oriented families throughout the years and generations are also practically the same: business sustainable longevity, enduring prosperity and perpetuation of the generation vitality.
Based on more than three years of analyses of the major studies and surveys related to this topic, besides its practical experience in consulting work dedicated to this segment, Dextron Management Consulting has developed a unique set of concepts, models (frameworks) and methodologies destined specifically to business-oriented families and family-owned companies, which have become the knowledge foundation of the Family & Business Ownership Network (FBON).
