The Family Learning Discovery - Phases 1 and 2 are powerful diagnostic tools that enable entrepreneurial families to spot strengths and weaknesses and set out on custom learning paths that maximize performance, harmony and business longevity. Rapid assessments deliver actionable solutions for family and their enterprises!
Family Learning Discovery - Phase 2 picks up where Family Forward leaves off and delivers even deeper analysis with custom, practical and action-orientated solutions anchored in the repurposing of family vision, harmonizing family with enterprise, and development of family learning – all underpinned with actionable solutions that address leadership transitions to conflict management and much more.
Family Learning Discovery - Phase 1 reveals enterprising families’ powers and blind spots, and directs them to act on new knowledge. An anonymous and engaging assessment, Family Forward enables families to determine the strength of their governance, gauge the effectiveness of family purpose, measure the health of relationships, identify and exploit values, and more – in just 20 minutes.
France’s Mulliez clan, whose 740 family shareholders control multiple enterprises, are arguably the most successful “learning family” ever. They’ve nurtured a unique business model in which rising generations receive an in-house education and incentives to remain owners who contribute in myriad ways. This is reflected in Affectio Societatis (affection + business), a ground-breaking family pact struck in 1995. It works and has inspired Family Forward and Family Learning Discovery!
FEF offers a sneak peek ahead of our launch of the ground-breaking Mulliez family book, Family Business: My 25 Years at the Heart of an Entrepreneurial Family.

France’s Mulliez family, whose 740 family shareholders control more than 20 different consumer enterprises, are arguably the most successful of “learning families” the world has ever seen. They are unique – in enterprise, in governance, in kinship. Over time the Mulliez family has nurtured an inimitable business model in which rising generations receive an in-house education and incentives to become and remain owners who can contribute in both conventional and unconventional ways. This is reflected in Affectio Societatis (affection + business), a ground-breaking Mulliez family pact struck in 1995 that has essentially locked in family ownership and managed the expansion of companies owned by the family.
Today the family holding company, Association Familiale Mulliez, controls a diverse constellation of brands. Hundreds of “associate” family members manage an international network that includes supermarkets, sporting goods stores, restaurants, and many other well-known brands. For decades, the enterprising group has taken family learning to extraordinary lengths. If it can work for the Mulliez family, it can work for yours. FEF offers a sneak peek how ahead our launch of the ground-breaking Mulliez family book, Family Business: My 25 Years at the Heart of an Entrepreneurial Family.
