FOCUSED, PRACTICAL, ACTION ORIENTED PROGRAMS

Let’s face it! In our fast paced, changing world, business owners do not have the time nor patience to sit on long, theoretical, academic family business programs. They want most value in the shortest time and in actionable next steps.

That’s why we have designed focused 3-Day programs for your family business on the most important aspects to run your family business successfully.

These programs are intensive and inter-active. You do not come just to listen and watch. You participate in the cases, discuss, and test your ideas with peers and advisors, build your own action plans.

Each program is focused on a different yet integral aspect of successfully running a family business enterprise.
