Bartlett, Clarion Solicitors, Forvis Mazars and Family Business UK, are pleased to invite you to an exclusive roundtable discussion with other family business leaders in the region, to discuss the role of entrepreneurialism and innovation in the enduring success and growth of family businesses.
Leading a family business involves much more than preserving tradition. It’s about cultivating a legacy that thrives and evolves across generations. A central challenge faced by many family business leaders is maintaining the entrepreneurial spirit of the founder while steering the business forward.
With the help of real-world case studies, we will cover:
- Strategies for harnessing an entrepreneurial mindset within the family and among employees, ensuring that each generation brings fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to the business.
- Insights into how other family businesses have successfully adapted to changing economic, social, and technological landscapes, including the diversification of business models and embracing new technologies.
- The importance of a long-term perspective in viewing risk and reward, highlighting the unique advantages held by family-owned businesses.
- Strategies to recognise and overcome the risks associated with resistance to change and a bias to tradition in the face of evolving market and industry dynamics.
Following presentations, Neil Davy CEO of Family Business UK (FBUK), will facilitate a discussion to better understand how the issues above impact family businesses.
We very much hope you can join us for this event.
