MSCI is launching a brand new Knowledge and Learning executive program for owners and senior leaders of multi-generational family businesses. The Strategic Family Enterprise will offer frameworks and strategies to help build strategic capability. Beyond building tools for effective management, business owners must be intentionally strategic as long-term holders of the asset that is the company.

On this webinar, Peter Boumgarden, PhD, academic director for the program, will provide a preview of The Strategic Family Enterprise, which will cover topics like:

• How can companies build a unique vision for purpose and performance, and then put in place the structures to sustain it over time?
• Given this long-term strategic horizon, how can leaders think about managing, growing, and exiting the assets within the business to deliver upon the purpose? How should the time horizon of ownership be crafted to allow for this purpose?
• What strategic orientation best aligns with the outlined ownership objectives, and what is the best way to balance rigorous accountability with the unique possibilities of these kinds of companies to focus on long-term and patient value creation?
• How is governance of both the business and the family set up to ensure a strategic and long-term approach?

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Owners and senior leaders of multi-generational family businesses.
