We ask that participants come in teams of at least two members of the same family enterprise. A team with several members will learn more together and will be able to implement changes quicker and more efficiently.

Each team ideally comprises three to six members including, as a matter of choice, members from the family as well as from management. The team members represent different viewpoints, insights and issues about the family enterprise. In past programmes, typical participant teams have included:

• Founder, successor, and non-family CEO
• Family members working in the business
• Board members of the family holding company
• Members of the family council with the non-family chair of the business board
• Family shareholders and their children
