The LEGACY DNA, the Seven Domains and the resources built around them help you think through the questions that shape a family business.

Its eighteen practices help organise the questions and priorities behind the work.

Y You & Your Family

A more structured engagement

The LEGACY DNA
Diagnostic.

The Diagnostic includes its consultation and looks more deeply at all eighteen practices for your family business. Its written report identifies strengths, areas needing attention and priorities for further work. You can begin with it or choose it after a focused consultation.

We discuss whether it is the right starting point, who should participate, what is included and the fee before proceeding.
