Ensuring the Legacy of Family Business
Through Emotional Governance
ABOUT US
Founded in 2008 by Francesco Lombardo, Veritage is a global advisory firm with a difference. Having spent decades working in finance and investment management, Francesco watched countless families and their businesses crumble, because although they had financial security, they didn't feel emotionally safe with each other.
OUR PURPOSE
Veritage serves as a guide to help family members understand their behaviours and the impact they have on themselves, others and business decision making. We work with families to humanise succession and transition from the inside out.
We support families to develop a governance model, that holds everyone accountable to a set of guiding principles set out by the family, for the family.
OUR WORK
We support and encourage family businesses and their members to work with each other with clarity and harmony. By having the uncomfortable conversations, the business, family relationships, individual fulfilment, and legacy is secured.
OUR PROCESS
The process of Organized Emotional Governance begins by cultivating individual safety, where the individual understands why they do what they do, and the impact their behaviour has on others. Next we create relational safety amongst the key relationships - ultimately transforming familial safety throughout the entire family system.
Pillars of Emotional Governance
The foundation, potential and power of all Emotional Governance lives in these 6 Pillars.
RELATIONSHIP
Healthy relationships are at the heart of every successful family business.
HARMONY
Unresolved conflicts damage the future, impact and legacy of a family business.
FINANCE
Strained family dynamics threaten long term, generational survival.
VISION
Emotional governance is the foundation for clarity, inspiration and empowerment.
LEGACY
Lasting legacies are created through shared values, not just assets.
IMPACT
Strong stewardship improves the bottom line and builds a lasting legacy.
Many believe money will solve and alleviate issues in a family. In actuality money emphasizes the human and social issues within every family. We guide families in creating an emotional governance model that holds the individuals, the relationships, and their wealth accountable to a shared set of pillar principles crafted by the family, for the family.
