Family Business: Governance and Boards

Rather than a structured lecture, this webinar will be an experience-based conversation, drawing on insights from Alfredo De Masis's research and latest work, The Family Business Book, and his global advisory experience.

The participants will explore some critical and often overlooked aspects of family enterprises:
• Why family governance and business governance both matters, and how they differ
• The inherent complexity of governing family firms
• The crucial role of independent directors in navigating that complexity

Family businesses are not just economic actors, they are social institutions shaped by history, identity, and relationships.

Understanding how to govern them effectively is key to building continuity across generations.
