The Eight Elements of Building a Family Enterprise
Among the many benefits of deploying design-build project delivery methodology for complex construction projects is a single point of responsibility. As such, the master builder team is responsible for all aspects of the project—leaving an owner free to focus on the project’s scope and general decision making. Building an enduring family enterprise can be likened to a construction project in its complexity, concern over the project’s environmental and social impact as well as the ongoing goal that the end product provides easy-to-maintain sustainability. These goals and others draw a comparison to family wealth advisor service that places the advisor in the role of design-builder ─ leading the aesthetic, technical and foundational elements of building family sustainability. FOX president, Alexandre Monnier, will draw a comparison between being a design-builder and serving as a family wealth advisor and will provide insight into Building an Integrated Wealth Plan.
Speaker:

33 ©2015 Family Office Exchange What makes cross-functional teams especially challenging?
• Additional layer of complexity added to the mix “functional diversity” • Function- or group- based stereotypes and attributions can emerge • Even more divergent goals, priorities, agendas ‒ When are incentives divergent and when do they align? ‒ What is the non-cynical view of goals for multi-functional teams? ‒ What might the cynical view of goals for multi-functional teams be?

44 ©2015 Family Office Exchange What makes cross-functional teams especially challenging?
•“Us versus them” dynamics and group polarization ‒ Family feuds and family dynamics ‒ Pushing buttons, for better or for worse ‒ Self-fulfilling prophecies and cycles of interaction • “Attribution errors” for individuals and teams ‒ Dartmouth vs. Princeton • How might a “Prisoner’s Dilemma” type scenario emerge?

55 ©2015 Family Office Exchange The Prisoner’s Dilemma
• Two members of a criminal gang are arrested and imprisoned. • Each prisoner is in solitary confinement with no means of speaking to or exchanging messages with the other. • Each prisoner is offered a plea deal to either: – Betray the other by testifying that the other committed the crime, or – Cooperate with the other by remaining silent. • Here are the ramifications of the deal… – If A and B each betray the other…each of them serves 2 years in prison – If A betrays B but B remains silent, A will be set free and B will serve 3 years in prison (and vice versa) – If A and B both remain silent, both of them will only serve 1 year in prison (on the lesser charge) • What should they do? Dattner Consulting 66 ©2015 Family Office Exchange The Prisoner’s Dilemma (Discussion)
Prisoner B Stays Silent Prisoner B Betrays (Cooperates) (Defects) Prisoner A Stays Silent Each serves 1 year Prisoner A: 3 Years (Cooperates) Prisoner B: Goes Free Prisoner A Betrays Prisoner A: Goes Free Each Serves 2 Years (Defects) Prisoner B: 3 years

2424 ©2015 Family Office Exchange Dealing with organizational politics In overly political organizations and teams:
• There is a focus on individual self-interest and silos rather than on the good of the team, department, organization or ecosystem • There are clearly defined in-groups and out-groups, and a preoccupation with who is in each category ‒ There is a focus on singling people out for blame ‒ Those in out-groups are marginalized, ignored, or dismissed ‒ Rewards accrue to people for reasons other than competence or performance ‒ Power and authority are not adequately distributed
Dattner Consulting
