he term ‘ground-breaking’ is generally overused however, sometimes an exceptional effort is produced that raises expectations to a whole new level. A Family Business on the Moon
has done just that. It is almost as far removed from the concept of a traditional family business book as you can get. And that was the intention of INSEAD Prof Randel Carlock and family expert Keng-Fun Loh, who have poured five decades of fun, practical exercises, and imagination into their fieldbook. A visual feast, with more than 70 illustrations by Ruth Gwily who illustrates for publications from The Washington Post to The New Yorker, it continues to draw you back and through the book. Yet the 24 practical exercises taking you through the Parallel Planning Process give a huge amount of substance to the dynamic style that will keep you coming back again and again. In short it is a must-read for families and advisers.

Feisal Alibhai may be familiar to regular readers of CampdenFB having contributed a number of pieces in previous editions. His background running his family’s fast-moving consumer goods distributor in 15 countries prepared him for financial success, but left him lacking in the skills needed to manage the change inherent in life outside work. In this, his first book, Alibhai challenges the idea that the rational ‘head’ and emotional ‘heart’ must be in competition. He argues that uniting head and heart is a four-step process designed to move into a state of ‘flow’. An intensely personal book, Alibhai acts as a companion, guiding readers through the process he has devised in a book littered with anecdotes and written in his own engaging and personable style. If your heart and head have ever wrestled over a challenge then Four Steps to Flow is for you.

Don’t let the detailed title fool you, at 173 pages this concise book is designed to deliver a power-packed punch giving readers a useful entry point for building a multigenerational family enterprise. With a helpful index, extensive bibliography, suggestions, tips and strategies, it is based on the common patterns found within successful families. And author Griffiths- Hamilton knows what she’s talking about. A third- generation family member, Emily was the co-owner of the Vancouver Canucks, the Vancouver Grizzlies NBA basketball team and Vancouver’s Rogers Arena. In this, her second book, Griffiths-Hamilton challenges the traditional approach to family business succession and wealth transition planning which often begins with legally-advised and tax-driven structures. She advocates a clear and practical way to overcome the primary reasons behind failed succession and wealth transition plans. The book is a sound compass to help families successfully navigate their way forward.
