Family Business Discussion on “Aligning Family for Decision Making”
Successful multigenerational families have made pivotal decisions together along the way, including: when and how to grow, hiring non-family executives, rebranding, establishing boards, buying or selling businesses. They depend on shared values, communication, and governance structures to help them make the right decisions. Join Ginni Galicinao (family dynamics consultant) and Scott Peppet (leader of a successful family enterprise) to learn to position your own family business well for generations to come.
