Is International in the Family Future? The Generational Challenge
November 30, 2021
11:30AM-1:00PM MST
presented by: Gregory Senda
We stare into an opaque future where the rules of play have been significantly altered, a New Normal. It is a time when many Family Businesses are re-evaluating their business models and how to continue growing for the next generations of family members. Many are being challenged to their very core. In any time of upheaval, there are both challenges as well as opportunities. This presentation will focus on potential opportunities for Family Businesses to consider in the international arena working collaboratively with like minded Japanese SME (“small and medium sized enterprises”). It is also important to remember that Canada is not an island - challenges arising from international trends can come knocking on our domestic door. It is the premise of this presentation that the complexity of international trends and new technologies is the opportunity for the Family Business to create a Generational Challenge - a challenge for the next generations who grew up with these international trends and new technologies to chart their own path as the family entrepreneurs into the future.
