Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of hosting an interactive workshop with next-generation members from five international family businesses. 📣 The central question posed to them was whether (and how) family firms need to evolve in response to the shifts impacting the next generation. Here are the 5 most important takeaways from the workshop: 1️⃣ Sustainable and Inclusive Practice: Do More The workshop highlighted the next generation's dedication to environmental and social accountability. We discussed the need for family businesses to weave sustainable and inclusive practices into their governance, leadership, and core strategies. 2️⃣ Greater Clarity on Future Governance Today The next-generation group expressed their readiness to infuse their fresh perspectives and energy into tackling challenges. They sought clarity on how the governance system might adapt in the future to engage them more and maintain effective decision-making. 3️⃣ Creating an Organizational Context Where Failure is an Option Attendees showed a pronounced entrepreneurial drive and a spirit of enterprise. This was seen as a catalyst for infusing family businesses with fresh ideas, vitality, and potential growth pathways. 4️⃣ Approach to Succession: More Structured Participants advocated for a structured approach to succession that prioritizes relevant experience and expertise above conventional, hierarchical leadership transition models. 5️⃣ Digitalisation The evolving consumer landscape emerged as another focal point. Participants agreed on the need for family businesses to refine their marketing strategies, bolster their digital footprint, and prioritize customer engagement to align with shifting consumer expectations. The workshop unveiled a collective vision geared towards innovation, adaptability, and a steadfast commitment to ethical and sustainable practices. Engaging in and moderating discussions among this diverse group was particularly enlightening. 😀 📝 Do you think family businesses will need to adapt further in response to the shifts affecting the next generation? How so? Let me know your thoughts, especially if you are also part of the next generation in your family enterprise. #familybusiness #nextgeneration

Last month, I had the pleasure of moderating and convening 3 social impact leaders at the forefront of humanity based business at Transform 2024 - Ebony D. Thomas from Grads of Life, Jake Wood from Groundswell, and Jeremy Edmonds, SPHR (he/his/him) from Snooze an A.M. Eatery. Here are a few takeaways from the session: Impact as a Multiplier of Business, but click on the re-cap video below to view the full video! 💫 Social impact is not just for philanthropy, but rather, as a strategic amplifier to enhance brand equity, foster sustainable growth and impact the bottom line. 💫Integrating impact must be aligned with your organization’s values. What to focus on can be something that is shaped and co-designed by your people. 💫 People are able to understand and recognize performative social impact… quickly. Performative actions erode trust and create solutions that can be a waste of time, money, and energy. Intent without impact can be damaging. 💫 Volunteerism is a privilege that not everyone can afford outside of work hours and pay. Offer programs like VTO (volunteer time off) to provide opportunities for all. 💫 Matching your values to your words and your words to action is a great place to start. If you say that your company cares about equity, take a look inward at your own business practices to ensure that they are values aligned. For those that are looking to incorporate social impact into their organizational culture, join us for our upcoming Culture Impact Lab in May (hosted in Chicago this year)! Participants will come with a problem statement and leave with a plan for action: Learn more or register here: https://lnkd.in/grx6zSbz #transform2024 #socialimpact #esg #conference #culture #leadership #leadershipgrowth https://lnkd.in/ggTEZWEJ

The power of bringing experts together in one room to share insights amplifies the potential for transformative outcomes, and the Renovata & Company Platform Events programme strives to do just that.   The Private Equity world is at a particular point of inflexion where value creation is concerned and so we were thrilled to welcome a room of investors, operators and advisors to our inaugural PE Breakfast last month.   The event brought together industry experts Josephine Hus, Michael D'Onofrio, and Ramon de la Sota, who shared their first hand perspectives and experience during a panel discussion organised and expertly moderated by Emma Roderick.   Today, we are pleased to share our comprehensive insights overview on Redefining Transformation for Value Creation.   The discussion spanned critical themes, from the advent of the Chief Transformation Officer to the strategic roles of Operating Partners, offering a roadmap for integrating transformational strategies with organisational objectives to drive substantial value creation.   Our thanks to all of our panelists and the Renovata & Company Platform team for bringing this thought-provoking discussion to life.   If you would like to to learn about upcoming events or to explore opportunities for involvement in our 2024 events program as a partner, speaker, or guest, we invite you to connect with Julia Barber, Director of Platform Engagement. #privateequity #leadership #transformation #technology
