ReGen - Xylogenesis

A New Model for Multigenerational Continuity

ReGen™ is a proprietary approach from Xylogenesis^® | Family Office Advisory that helps multigenerational families achieve healthy generational continuity™. This framework works for family offices at any generational stage, regardless of size or service model.

The Challenge with Current Approaches

Traditional family continuity models focus on the relationship between current leadership (LeadingGen) and the next generation (NextGen). This creates a dualistic structure where success depends on managing the dynamics between these two groups.

Despite significant investment in education, programming, and advisory services built around this model, families remain stuck and struggle to achieve healthy generational continuity™. The focus remains on complex structures and behavior modification rather than addressing the fundamental limitations of the two-generation framework itself.

“ReGen™ helps to eliminate the systemic generational divide that often leads to conflict. It’s a practical, powerful mindset shift that helps families move from hierarchy to harmony, transforming how they think, lead, and grow together over time.”

The ReGen™ Solution

Healthy Generational Continuity™

ReGen™ is a play on words, moving away from LeadingGen/NowGen-NextGen/RisingGen to a mindful practice, approach, and philosophy for the family organization. ReGen™ disrupts this traditional approach by moving beyond the LeadingGen-NextGen duality. Instead of focusing on the handoff between generations, ReGen™ creates a regenerative system that’s integrated throughout the entire family organization.

This approach transforms the traditional succession model into a dynamic, holistic system focused on three core outcomes:

How ReGen™ Works

The ReGen™ framework operates through six key areas:

Radically-Customized, Dynamic Governance: Designed and implemented in a highly customized and flexible manner to methodically engage the enterprise, family, and individuals as each evolves over time

Stewardship Mindset: Ownership focused on preservation and growth rather than consumption

Integrated Continuity Planning & Implementation: Continuous transition and succession processes which engage all family system stakeholders in a comfortable and known cadence

Culture Building: Strengthening family bonds through education, shared experiences, and philanthropy

Individual Development: Supporting each family member’s personal growth and purpose through mentoring and leadership development

Operational Excellence: Continuous improvement of the enterprise, family, individuals, and multidisciplinary advisory team in a fully coordinated manner with known and aligned definitions of “success” within each family office system
