Understanding and managing conflict well is probably the most important critical success factor for families who work and own together. This is because of the high potential for conflict that is built into a family enterprise. In this program, Doug, author of Deconstructing Conflict: Understanding Family Business, Shared Wealth and Power will teach a new way to approach conflict in enterprising families – conflict which can be extreme and intractable. Doug will break down conflict into its component parts, defining typical areas of differences that develop in families and distinguishing between what is a simple dispute and systemic conflict. You will gain skills and frameworks to help your family manage differences for the long term. Doug is the Founder of Continuity, LLC and brings an extensive background in family business, family office operations and governance to his clients. He also started and ran businesses in the U.S. and Europe, including managing the European operations of his own family’s business.
