How did an agribusiness in Valle del Cauca prepare for its second generation?

The challenge

Growth without process structure, costs not visible by line and decisions concentrated in the founding family.

How did we support them?

360° corporate diagnosis, family protocol, a board of directors with independent members and a cost and productivity dashboard by unit.

Outcomes

Corporate governance in place, decisions based on monthly data and an approved succession plan.
