In this practical, real world seminar, participants will be invited to explore the ways effective governance can be a meaningful framework for maximizing the long-term harmony between a unified business-family and a thriving family enterprise.
Governance is an essential tool for business-families who what to improve communication, resolve differences and have a shared framework for decision-making. We will further explore the motivation to govern and review governance protocols and functions, and the structural frameworks appropriate for each stage of a family owned enterprise. Additionally, participants will be presented with mini-case studies to examine.
Facilitated dialogue and experiential learning will add to the seminar experience and contribute to greater participant awareness about the long-term benefits offered through the practice of effective business – family governance.
