Center for Private Company Excellence Seminar: Family Business Mini Conference

Family businesses are facing unprecedented numbers of leadership and ownership transitions. They have a lot to prepare for – from determining who will take over the business to ensuring future leaders are adequately prepared, on top of thinking about what comes next for exiting owners.

The agenda covered:

• Highlights from Kreischer Miller’s 2019 Family Business Survey
• A panel discussion with next generation leaders who addressed the steps they have taken to prepare themselves for leadership
• A panel discussion with senior generation owners at various stages of their transition from a leadership role, who discussed what life is like after transition, their level of ongoing involvement in the business, and the emotional factors that have come into play throughout the process
• A presentation by Kreischer Miller on retaining your family business as an investment as an alternative to selling
• A presentation by Delaware Valley Family Business Center on practices, principles, and their 5 Mountain Model for healthy, harmonious family business transitions
