RE-GENER@TION: MANAGING CHANGE AND INNOVATION IN FAMILY BUSINESS

The 2023 Global Family Business Summit
April 27-28, 2023 in Valencia, Spain

GREAT MINDS, GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT CONTENT

What if you were able to bring the top leaders from business families together with some of the most prominent family business researchers and advisers for an open exchange to connect, share big ideas and explore practical ways for shaping the future of family businesses?

Engage directly with other family business leaders, practitioners, and champions to explore the opportunities, challenges, and best practices for managing change, innovation, and sustainable growth.

Get a first look at the bridge between academia and practice, with highlights from the collaboration between STEP Project Global Consortium and KPMG Private Enterprise. The 2023 Global Family Business Report “The Road to Sustainability. Why family businesses are in the driver’s seat” will be released to the public on April 28, 2022, during the Global Summit.

But, before then, Summit attendees have the opportunity to preview the insights from the report and take part in a lively Q&A discussion following a presentation of the insights by Andrea Calabrò (STEP Project Global Consortium Academic Director and Director IPAG Entrepreneurship & Family Business Center, IPAG Business School) and Tom McGinness (Global Leader, Family Business, KPMG Private Enterprise, KPMG International Partner, KPMG in the UK). 

Here are some highlights that you won’t want to miss:
   •    Stakeholder capitalism is becoming mainstream – how will family businesses differentiate themselves?
   •    Sustainability leadership vs. digital leadership – can they/should they co-exist?
   •    How will business families define ‘wealth’ in the future?
