Abstract

A practitioner is typically looking for a step-by-step process when he or she is asked to apply a conceptual scheme in his or her firm. The same is true of applying a corporate governance scheme in a family business. It is the aim of this chapter to provide such a process.

Hell begins on the day when God grants us a clear vision of all that we might have achieved, of all the gifts which we have wasted, of all we might have done which we did not do

(Gian-Carlo Menotti, contemporary Italian composer).
