FREE DIAGNOSTIC FOR FAMILY-RUN BUSINESSES
Score your family business across the 17 practices that separate scaling families from stuck families.
A 15-minute self-diagnostic, drawn from a practitioner framework refined through advisory work with Indian family-run businesses. In one anchor engagement, working through these practices supported a 3x growth path in 15 months. Enter your email to get the PDF in your inbox — and a download link on this page right after.
What you'll get
- A 17-row self-scoring table across the practices that separate scaling families from stuck families: financial control, operating rhythm, sales engine, governance, succession, culture, leadership.
- A scoring guide that tells you what your total means — Founder-Dependent, Awakening, Scaling, or Institutionalised — and which practices to fix first for the biggest leverage.
- A clear next step if you want to walk through your scores with someone outside the business.
Built from real engagements
The framework is drawn from advisory work with Indian family-run businesses, not a textbook.
Research-grounded
Refined through fieldwork at LBS, Harvard, and MIT — without crossing the research-integrity firewall.
15 minutes, no jargon
Designed to be done by founders, next-gen members, and outside observers without a glossary.
Who this is for
- Indian family-run businesses (~₹50–500 Cr revenue) preparing for second-generation transition or scale beyond founder dependence.
- Next-generation family members trying to make the case for professionalisation, internally.
- Family offices supporting professionalisation in their portfolio companies.
- Diaspora founders running family businesses across India and the UK or Europe.
A note on research: I project-manage a 3,000-firm study of Indian family-owned businesses at LBS with Harvard and MIT. The diagnostic is my practitioner framework and predates that role; it is not a study output. If your firm is an active participant in the study, please use the diagnostic without booking advisory work — there's a research-integrity firewall between the two.
