Consulting to a Family-Owned Business
You need to understand the
rewards... and the perils
Consulting to family businesses can be a
very rewarding endeavor. However, it is one that can be wrought with
peril for the consultant who is ill prepared.
The DFW Chapter of the Institute of
Management Consultants is pleased to present Jim Hutcheson, author of
the best-selling "Portraits of Success." Jim will provide insights into
family businesses that can only come from his having run one of the
largest family businesses in the country, then changing careers to
become one of the leading consultants in the field over the past decade.
Join us on May 21st and hear Jim's
intriguing perspectives on family businesses and how to enhance your
success when working with them.
Consider the following statistics provided
by the Family Firm Institute:
-
The greatest part of America's wealth
lies with family-owned businesses. Family firms comprise 80% to 90%
of all business enterprises in North America.
-
More than 30% of all family-owned
businesses survive into the second generation. Twelve percent will
still be viable into the third generation, with 3% of all family
businesses operating at the fourth-generation level and beyond.
-
The leadership of 39% of family-owned
businesses will have changed hands in the next five years!
