Family Business Continuity & Renewal
For families who want the next generation to inherit a stronger business, with clear rules and room to grow.
Family groups carry much of the Gulf economy, and many face their first or second handover in the coming years. This masterclass covers the governance that keeps a family united around its business: the family charter, the family office, the board and the separation of ownership from management.
The third day turns to renewal. Next-generation members work on new ventures, digital models and the investment rules that let a family group grow while protecting its core. Private advisory sessions are available for each family during the program.
