Stronger Accountability = Superior Results
Family businesses with governing boards consistently outperform those without boards. From our work, we know why some owners avoid hiring outsiders to their boards: fear of losing control.

In fact, the opposite happens: good governance helps you maintain control of a healthier business. With the objectivity, balance and professionalism of good governance practices, your business gains superior agility and endurance.

Call on us to Jump Start your Board
Scion can coach you through developing effective board practices and get you to stronger results.

Governance is an evolutionary process that promotes trust, family cohesion and higher performance. Learning how to do this takes time, but the strong prevail in their pursuit of excellence.

For a custom proposal, please call
Ellen Hunt: (707) 266-4065.

3. Strapping on your training wheels (the first 18 months)
