The theme for this year’s Lekgotla was African Entrepreneurship through Technology. Prof Venter delivered here presentation titled “Secrets to establishing multi-generational family businesses” during the second day of the 5-day virtual conference. Her session formed part of the theme for Day 2 namely, Developing Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies.
She was joined by Mr Russell Fugett, a fifth generational entrepreneurial leader, strategist and author from the USA. They both emphasised the importance of being innovative, having strong values, as well as having a “secret sauce” and purpose as a family business to increase transgenerational potential and success.
