Disruption Meets Legacy: Strategic Choices for Family Businesses

The world is changing faster than most organizations can adapt. As generative AI and digital transformation reshape competitive landscapes, research shows that 49% of family businesses haven't yet begun exploring AI adoption. The risk is clear: competitors who embrace strategic innovation will gain efficiencies and insights that may erode traditional advantages.

But here's the opportunity: the very traits that make family businesses cautious about disruption can become their greatest strategic differentiators. Patient capital enables thoughtful adoption. Generations of relationships create proprietary insights. Values-driven culture provides natural guardrails for ethical implementation.

Join us for an evening designed for family business leaders who understand that the real question isn't whether to adapt, it's how to adapt while preserving what makes your business uniquely valuable.
