The Global Family Business Center
Enterprising families are at the heart of the world economy and society. Through our work, and the research we do, we help enterprising families, their boards and executives become the best version of themselves to ensure family unity and multi-generational success.
Our research and in-depth thought leadership content is informed by the work we have done with many of the leading families and enterprises in the world for over 30 years.
