Family enterprises succeed because families learn how to work well across generations, roles, and ownership responsibilities. This two-session virtual program introduces Family Enterprise Fundamentals, a practical and proven foundation for leading at the intersection of family, ownership, and business. Across two highly interactive virtual 90-minute sessions, led by Family Enterprise Center co-founders Cooper Biersach and Steve Miller, participants explore the essential frameworks and conversations that help family firms align, make better decisions, and sustain both business performance and family relationships over time.
