Designing your Future as a Family Enterprise: Learning from the Wisdom of 100-Year Families

This workshop will look at the 7 qualities that emerged from research on global 100-year families that have succeeded as both a family and a family enterprise. We will consider how to apply each of these qualities to a family enterprise as it strives to move beyond a second generation. 

The qualities are:

  • Clarify your core purpose and values

  • Develop a family culture of transparency, collaboration, and renewal

  • Create family and business governance entities with clear charters and roles

  • Evolve from a single business to a portfolio of ventures

  • Engage family stakeholders across generations in generative alliance

  • Develop stewardship skills and commitment in rising generation

  • Implement a shared social mission

The workshop will explore each one.
