Family Business
Magazine. Brad and Olivia will share their insights about training the next generation for future leadership roles, incorporating new technology into their processes, and the impact of change on the business.
Staying relevant in family business requires innovation and entrepreneurship. Multi-generational companies often look nothing like the business the founder established. But with the weight of history and legacy, innovating is challenging. This webinar will look at that balancing act and how family-owned companies can foster a spirit of entrepreneurship that will help insure the business' future.
