From FFI Practitioner

Last week we looked to the future with FFI Futurenaut-in-Residence Mark Stevenson. Today, like Janus, we look in another direction to reflect on the work of 20th century psychiatrist (and futurist!) Murray Bowen. With one of those rare, truly original ideas, Bowen developed family systems theory and, by extension, forever changed family enterprise consulting and research paradigms.

We hope you enjoy this article and the related photographs by Andrea Schara who worked closely with Dr. Bowen from 1976 to 1990.

What better way to welcome the New Year than with an interview with the FFI Futurenaut-in-Residence, Mark Stevenson. We hope you enjoy listening to Mark’s conversation with FFI Chair Debbie Bing and interviewer Jordan Rich, entitled “Falling in Love with the Future.”

Mark will be participating in FFI educational events and online conversations throughout 2022, ending with two days at the FFI Global Conference in Cambridge, MA, with academic host MIT Sloan School of Management.

As 2021 is coming to close, we’re taking a look back at the year that was for FFI Practitioner. We sincerely hope you’ve enjoyed reading and listening to the many editions that we’ve published this year.

This week, we’re excited to count down the 10 most popular editions from 2021 – representing a diverse set of topics, disciplines, and formats. Thanks to everyone who contributed content to advance the family enterprise field!
