The scenario
A family business consultant facilitating a succession planning workshop needs a genogram to map the family system for the governance committee.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01Three children visible in the same generation
the genogram shows the candidate successor pool without editorial judgment.
02Only son1 and daughter1 have children shown
making next-generation family members visible helps boards think about a 20-year succession horizon.
03Marriage years annotated
length of marriage is relevant to succession advisors assessing family stability.
Add role annotations (CEO, Board Member) to overlay business roles on the family structure map.
