The Family Enterprise Day
Saturday 16 May 2015
Family Business Next Generation Leadership
Understanding the challenges and developing the next generation leadership
Amphi Mork
The next generation is probably the most talked about topic in the family enterprise field and for a good reason:
developing capable leaders and owners is one of the most challenging tasks for a family business. Having a
successful generational transition is the issue that most concerns family business entrepreneurs who hope the
business will thrive through multiple generations of family ownership and endure over the long-term. If the
baton cannot be passed, it could mean the end of a family business.
Then what can family businesses do to develop their next generation leaders? How to ensure that the next
generation is well prepared for their future roles?
The Wendel International Centre for Family Enterprise invites you to spend a half day focused on Next
Generation Leadership. Our invited families in business, INSEAD MBA students and academics will investigate
the challenges, the tools and the skills needed to succeed in the Leadership succession
The event is by invitation only and exclusively for family business members and INSEAD students, FBN
Members or parties who are directly involved in specific family enterprises to create an atmosphere of trust and
confidentiality.
