The Family Business Program provides practical, actionable insights and strategies to help families navigate the complexities of succession planning.

Family business succession planning can often be a difficult and emotional process. Who should lead the next generation? How do we prepare for succession planning?

The Family Business Program – taking into account both successful and failed examples from multigenerational family businesses – allows participants to learn from the experiences of others and apply these lessons to their own situations. By taking a holistic approach that considers both the business and the family, the program aims to improve long-term planning and alignment while helping families shape the future success of their family enterprise system.
