Add to Calendar: Add to Calendar 2026-03-04 08:30:00 2026-03-04 11:30:00 Governing the Family Business with the Four-Room Model BanyanGlobal Family Business Advisors: Rob Lachenauer, Carol Hannigan, & Sam Gant The Four-Room analogy is a simple but dynamic way of evaluating decision-making in family businesses that can be transformative. Think of the governance structure of your family business in four distinct forums: the Owner Room, the Board Room, the Management Room, and the Family Room. By establishing appropriate boundaries between rooms, business-owning families can avoid conflict and make better decisions, together. This program will be an interactive working session to improve family businesses’ governing and decision-making processes.   Rob is Co-Founder and Partner of BanyanGlobal as well as co-author of The Harvard Business Review Family Business Handbook and Hardball: Are you Playing to Play or Playing to Win? He will be joined by his colleagues Sam and Carol, both of whom are principals at BanyanGlobal with expertise in impact-driven family businesses and family offices/estate planning respectively.  Weatherhead School of Management Weatherhead School of Management America/New_York public
