Rena Striegel, President of Transition Point Business Advisors, has introduced Structured Planning Days, a new succession planning format created to help farm and family-owned businesses approach ownership transfer with dedicated time, clear structure, and intentional dialogue. The initiative responds to the challenge of ownership discussions often happening in fragments, without preparation or sequence, leading to stalled decisions and rising tension.

Why it matters

As many agricultural operations in the U.S. enter a period of generational transition, delayed planning can place both family relationships and business stability at risk. Structured Planning Days are designed to give families momentum grounded in clarity rather than pressure, protecting continuity and trust.

The details

Structured Planning Days require families to step away from routine operations and commit to a defined planning session. The environment is intentional and professionally facilitated, with conversations following a clear progression so that one unresolved topic does not derail another. The day typically begins with shared vision and long-term goals, moving into leadership readiness, decision-making authority, and individual expectations before addressing legal and financial considerations.
