INSEAD Family Enterprise Day 2017

By renewing the spirit for entrepreneurship within family firms, founders can optimise their succession plans and empower next gens to take over management control. Some of the topics which the conference will address:

How to value flexibility and adaptability in family businesses; how to develop entrepreneurship and innovation in family businesses; how to build a culture of innovative leadership; how to balance long-term planning with risk taking; how to involve next gen in the journey to succession.

Family Intrapreneurship is a bridge between entrepreneurship and corporate innovation, a link between the founder and descendants. Innovation, entrepreneurship and succession have always played a central role in the growth of family business. By embedding innovation in the governance structures of your organisation, you can create the conditions for the founder’s entrepreneurial spirit to live on for future generations. In so doing, owner-managers can allocate more family resources to overcome the roadblocks that will inevitably arise on their journey to prosperity.

At this upcoming Family Enterprise Day, a panel of experts and practitioners from business and academia will explain how structure and discipline can help family businesses to adapt faster, to innovate earlier and to become more professional. In this way, the panelists will contribute to your understanding of long-term planning and how it can ensure smooth transitions of generations, strengthening the family and the business.
