Decision-Making That Sticks: Define-Discuss-Decide

Family decisions don’t end when the meeting is over—and in family enterprises, unresolved tension can quietly resurface for years. In this video, Stephan Roche introduces the “Define, Discuss, Decide” framework. This is a practical approach to help families move beyond surface-level agreement and avoid decisions that unravel over time. He explains why traditional voting often falls short, and how a more deliberate process—clarifying the decision, creating space for every voice, and building real consensus—can strengthen trust, improve follow-through, and create lasting alignment across generations.
