The Kellogg School recognizes the specialized knowledge and skills needed to navigate a family business, and has created a highly interactive and dynamic program to help accomplish goals of business success and sustainability.
In this program, you will learn to define and optimize the roles and responsibilities of owners, family members, independent board members, and the executive team as they face the unique set of challenges posed by family business governance. Explore ways of uniting and building trust to increase your board's effectiveness and contribution. The role of non-management shareholders will also be addressed.
