This immersive executive education programme addresses the unique challenges of decision-making and conflict resolution in Indian family firms. Family businesses are the backbone of the Indian economy, driving innovation, employment, and long-term value creation. Yet, the very strengths that make family firms unique—deep-rooted values, close relationships, and legacy—can also pose challenges when navigating complex decisions and managing internal conflicts. This programme is designed to empower family business owners and owner-managers to unlock strategic growth opportunities by enhancing their decision-making capabilities and conflict management skills. Through a blend of practical frameworks and real-world case discussions, participants will learn how to align family and business strategies, foster a culture of open communication, and build organisational resilience. The programme will equip participants to proactively address challenges, seize
new growth avenues, and ensure their businesses are future-ready in a rapidly evolving marketplace.
The course is designed with the following specific objectives and learning outcomes:
