Course Description

Using a systems perspective, advisors can craft structures and policies that balance the needs of different stakeholder groups in family businesses. In this course, you will learn to consider your client to be the family business system, rather than one stakeholder. A more broad-based view will allow for more elegant solutions to issues that arise. Learn to focus effort on helping stakeholder groups raise and resolve their interests and concerns. Additionally, learn to focus on structures and policies that clearly define and manage the interface between family and business.
