Why This Assessment Matters

Every family business reaches a point where success depends on more than hard work — it requires structure, alignment, and purpose.

The Family Business Prosperity Score helps you understand how well your business is positioned for long-term success. It measures the six fundamentals that drive prosperity across generations — Governance, People, Strategy, Operations, Finance, and Growth.

Each area offers insight into how clearly roles are defined, how effectively decisions are made, and how well your team is aligned around your shared vision.

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s clarity — knowing where your strengths lie and where a few focused improvements could make the biggest impact.

How it works

In just a few minutes, you’ll get clear insight into how your family business is performing in the six areas that drive long-term prosperity.

You’ll answer a series of questions designed to help you reflect on how your family and business systems work together.

Once you’re done, you’ll receive a personalized report showing:

How your business performs across six key areas: Governance, People, Strategy, Operations, Finance, and Growth
Where your family business is strongest — and where alignment or clarity could improve
Practical next steps you can take to strengthen performance and communication

The insights you’ll gain will help you make smarter decisions, plan more effectively, and grow with confidence — together.

It all begins with one defining question — are you a family-first business, or a business-first family?

You’ll then be assessed across six key areas that drive long-term prosperity:

Governance

Clarity, structure, and accountability to keep families aligned.

People

Strong leadership and culture built on trust and purpose.

Strategy

A clear plan that aligns vision, purpose, and direction.

Operations

Strong systems that create scalability and consistency

Finance

A financial foundation that informs smart, strategic choices.

Growth

Sustainable expansion that strengthens rather than strains the business.

Here’s what business leaders and advisors say about working with Ferguson Alliance.

“When family businesses make a senior executive hire for the first time, broader questions often surface — succession, next-gen roles, compensation, even governance.

That’s when I bring Rob in. He expands the conversation, keeps the focus on what owners want, and brings out the best in everyone involved.”

— Thomas Zay, Boyden Executive Search

“Even when discussions get tough, Brandi keeps things calm and productive.

She builds trust, asks great questions, and helps people communicate better — our managers agree we’re working together more effectively than ever.”
