High Center offers family business advisor program

Family businesses are complicated. The normal challenges of advising businesses are tough enough, but providing professional advice to a family business involves additional dynamics that can impact their competitiveness as well as your effectiveness as a family business advisor.

Besides serving as advisors to family businesses for decades, experts at The S. Dale High Center for Family Business are now offering a program to help professionals who work with family businesses to help you be more effective in as an advisor to family enterprises.

As a trusted advisor to Family Businesses you’ve probably experienced the complexities we’re talking about. We’ve been working with Family Businesses exclusively for more than 20 years and have insight and experience into their unique challenges and capabilities that we want to share with you.

This intensive two-day workshop is a truly unique professional development opportunity offering information, education, case studies, role playing, and other dynamic experiences for professionals serving family businesses.

The Family Business Advisor Program, designed expressly for you, will help you:

• Develop a deep understanding of the complexities of family enterprises and how a company’s “Familiness” can be a competitive advantage.
• Apply a new set of tools for effective management of the interactions between the family and the business.
• Strengthen your relationships with your family business clients – becoming a trusted advisor for both the senior and successor generations of family business owners.
