Programme Overview
Family-owned businesses are vital to economic growth, yet fewer than 30% survive in the second generation due to challenges in succession and governance. This programme addresses these hurdles by exploring best practices in institutionalization, wealth management, and strategic alignment to build enduring institutions.
The curriculum covers three key themes: understanding family dynamics and strategic alignment, developing formal governance frameworks and professionalized board structures, and evaluating transgenerational succession strategies. Participants will learn to differentiate the roles of management from family institutions like councils and assemblies.
Delivered in a live online interactive format from May 19th to May 21st, 2026, the course combines expert insights with peer discussions. Attendees will leave with a personalized roadmap and actionable strategies to balance family interests with professional business management.
