During the Coronavirus pandemic, family business owners are taking action, in different ways, to mitigate the impact of the crisis on their businesses.
In this webinar, we discuss the role of family business owners during the Covid-19 crisis. We explore how the crisis requires owners to reprioritize business goals and allocation of resources in the immediate term. We highlight key activities and decisions that owners are called upon to make for the survival and continuity of their businesses.
We then recommend an agenda to help owners plan for the future of their businesses, post-COVID. We explore what owners can learn from the crisis about themselves and about the strengths and vulnerabilities of their businesses going forward. We identify the forums and exercises that can help owners prepare for opportunities and challenges that lie ahead beyond the crisis.
This webinar is useful for:
- Family ownership groups
- Management (family or non-family) in the family company or family office
- Board members (family or independent)
- Family Council or other Governance members
- Family members, including next-generation members, from enterprising families
The webinar is delivered in English.
