On 26 October 2021, Prof Elmarie Venter, Director of the Family Business Unit, was a co-host and speaker at a recent Family Business Webinar, themed: ‘Your Family Business: Re-set, Re-align, Re-ignite’.

The webinar was co-hosted by Mr Carl van Vuuren, who is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), specialising in estate and business risk analysis. Prof Venter’s presentation focused on the often neglected ‘soft issues’ that are faced in family businesses. Various questions and topics were raised and discussed, such as:

  • Is traditional succession planning still relevant in family-owned businesses?
  • What are the factors that force business families to re-design their succession planning processes?
  • What could be done to re-align and re-ignite the succession process in family businesses to ensure their success and increase their transgenerational potential?
