ABOUT THE BOOK

Davis leads you on a personal and professional voyage back to the 1970s to pay special homage to the groundbreaking work of his late mentor, Renato Tagiuri, who pioneered the field of family business with frameworks that included their notable Three-Circle Model of the Family Business System.

Davis then pivots to the future and offers a modern roadmap for business families to transform themselves to conquer the next economy. FBN invites you to partake in the new paradigm of business families leading the sustainable change required to address the great challenges of our time.

Looking into the Future of Business Families overflows with poignant lessons and forward-looking tools for multigenerational families, researchers, professional advisors, and the entire ecosystem of the family enterprise field.
