Resilience and Family Business Workshop - Apr 2022
This 2 day event, on 28 and 29 April 2022, brought together over 30 representatives of family business (individually and representative bodies); policy makers, and academic contributors to enter into frank, and generative, dialogue about the concept of resilience and its multiple interpretations through the lenses of planet, place and people – all within the context of family business.
This dedicated resource provides an overview of how our collective project is applying diverse perspectives to the complex challenge of building resilience in family business.
Resilience is a theme for our times. Recent global events including the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, the escalating climate crisis, and movements such as #Metoo and Black Lives Matter exposing systemic inequalities, are putting pressure on organisations to rethink how they do business and how they contribute to the health and wellbeing of their workforces, their communities and their environment.
As major contributors to the global economy, and with an eye to securing the business for future generations family businesses are a perfect site to interrogate how businesses adapt and transform to build resilient organisations that can positively deal with change and thrive in difficult times.
