Dr. Ralph Daniel, Family Business Advisor

 


Active Businesses:
Dr. Ralph M. Daniel, the Center's principal, counsels closely-held businesses to achieve effective succession planning, reduce workplace conflict between siblings, cousins, parents and extended family; and to set-up management tools for family enterprises. These include the governance systems and management teams required to manage a growing family enterprise, while establishing communication forums that lead to family harmony and conflict resolution.  

Estate Conflicts: Dr. Daniel also assists families with sizable estates to mediate troublesome conflicts arising over trust and estate planning, or lack of planning. He draws on a rich experience as a psychologist specializing in family dynamics, a business entrepreneur, and a second-generation member of a successful family-owned business.


Dr. Daniel is licensed to practice psychology in California and Massachusetts. He is a former professor of family dynamics at Antioch University and has presented numerous seminars on succession planning for family business owners, including at the University of California-Santa Barbara, and a state-wide tour of continuing education programs for the California CPA Education Foundation. He is a co-founder of the California Family Business Institute and co-developer of the Solution Sage Family Business Assessment™, a powerful on-line assessment tool that measures a family firm's strategic and succession readiness.
