Five Steps in Creating a Family Constitution

A strong family constitution brings clarity, unity, and long-term sustainability to your family business. In this video, Rob Ferguson walks through five key steps to creating a meaningful and collaborative family constitution that reflects your values and supports your legacy.

Step 1: Start the conversation — one-on-one and group discovery meetings
Step 2: Draft the document with a neutral facilitator
Step 3: Share and revise — give every family stakeholder a voice
Step 4: Adopt it formally in a family meeting
Step 5: Review and update every 3–5 years

A family constitution isn’t just a document - it’s a living guide for how your family and business move forward together.
