Organize roles, responsibilities and rules between the family, shareholders and leaders.
Model, vision, compass
GoPlAnAfricaGoPlAn turns transmission into a governed process.
A model, a vision and a compass for African family businesses that want to prepare continuity before succession becomes an emergency.
What is GoPlAn?
An analysis and support model born from doctoral research.
GoPlAn is a model for analyzing and supporting the transmission of African family businesses, developed through doctoral research on family-business transmission in Cameroon.
Succession planning
Prepare early the next generation, skills, responsibilities and the handover.
Anticipation
Anticipate cultural, family, legal and patrimonial constraints that can weaken transmission.
How it is used
From research model to practical support.
Model evolution
Digitalization and formalization strengthen the method.
The model was later enriched by digitalization and formalization, strengthening the ability of African family businesses to secure continuity and long-term sustainability.
Central idea
Transmission must not be improvised.
Transmission should not be prepared only when the founder leaves the company. It must be prepared, governed and anticipated early enough to preserve the business, patrimony, family relationships and entrepreneurial project.
