Family-owned businesses make up a huge portion of the global economy, yet face unique challenges that other companies don’t. From generational tension to succession planning, from emotional decision-making to conflicting visions, managing both family and business is an art.
This session is tailored for founders, family business managers, and next-gen leaders navigating the complex world of legacy, leadership, and growth.
We’ll explore:
- Common pitfalls in family business governance.
- How to structure roles, responsibilities, and decision-making to minimize conflict.
- Creating succession plans that don’t tear the business — or the family — apart.
The session includes a panel of multi-generational business families who will speak candidly about the struggles and successes they’ve had — including emotional stories of exits, transitions, and internal transformation.
One highlight will be the “Family Business Map” — a visual tool that helps attendees map relationships, influence, vision gaps, and potential blind spots inside their business.
Also included: Legal and financial tips for setting up family trusts, boards, and non-family executive roles — while preserving harmony.
This session blends business strategy with emotional intelligence and is especially valuable for families who want to preserve both wealth and relationships across generations.
