Community Lab Large Families - How to develop a new ownership and family vision and governance structure for long term family success

Edouard will share the work they did as a family to develop a 2035 ownership and family vision. Long term thinking and strategy is key for long term success of family businesses. Businesses make business plans for 3 to 5 years, families think in generations. He will also share how a group of rising generation members worked on a project to review the family governance’s effectiveness, benchmarked it against other global families and suggested practical areas of improvement.


Participants in the session will learn how family structures, governance practices and vision should evolve from generation to generation to remain successful and inspiring to its members. In this interactive workshop, participants will be given the opportunity to brainstorm in smaller groups on how they can become drivers of change in their own family enterprises based on their respective family challenges and priorities.



FOR WHOM IS THIS?


You come from a large family / cousin consortium, with dozens or more family shareholders. Key questions: how to insure the family cohesion, what should be our diversification strategy, how to move toward a fair, agile and effective governance?
