Over the next 10 years, half of all family businesses will face a generational handover; a significant proportion of their leaders have yet to formalize a succession plan. Shared family governance is essential to ensure a smooth transition between generations of the owning family and the management team. This 3-day program, part of the Executive Certificate Gouvernance des entreprises familiales, will allow you to take a step back and reflect on Governance and Succession.
