peer mentoring programme, known internally as the “campus” model. In small groups that meet monthly or bi-monthly, family members from different enterprises come together in a confidential setting to discuss personal challenges, family dynamics, and strategic decisions. The focus is not on technical advice, but on perspective: hearing how other families have handled similar issues, and considering options that may not have occurred to them. The emphasis on psychological safety is deliberate. The organisation understands that many of the most difficult issues in family business are not strictly financial or legal; they sit at the intersection of emotion, loyalty, identity and fear. In a campus group, participants can talk about generational conflict, sibling tensions, questions of fairness and role clarity, or their own feelings about joining — or not joining — the family enterprise, knowing that others in the room share some version of the same story. “Families don’t come to learn from executives,” the FBN Asia team explains with a smile.“They come to learn from each other.” 75 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 12 FAMILY BUSINESS NETWORK ASIA
