We’re Here for
the Rising Generation
Working at the Intersection of Business and Family.
Lovins Group was founded in 1992 by Dr. Alan H. Lovins on the belief that success in work and family is largely contingent on the quality of people’s relationships. Building on that principle, the Lovins Group is now an industry leader in helping family business owners move through critical transitions. By seeking to understand each client family, their dreams for the future and their unique capabilities, we help our clients realize results that work for each generation.
Developing the personal and professional capital in families
Welcome! We invite you to explore with us how great business-building families are learning to grow their human capital to enrich family bonds and meet business goals. We understand that significant financial success can create challenges for multi-generational families. Our practice is committed to harnessing the power of the family firm to meet those challenges, and provide opportunities for our clients to develop more trusting, honest, and open relationships.
Working together in a high-stakes atmosphere can create intense conflict in families. We believe, however, that family businesses offer extraordinary opportunities to develop the skills required to live a prosperous, meaningful, and fulfilling life in our modern society.
We encourage you to join us in our mission to expand the meaning of success in family business. Please take a moment to share your thoughts and questions with us before you leave.
