The future of family business: Four governance trends to watch

Register now

What will separate the family businesses that thrive over the next decade from those that stall?

According to KPMG’s Global Family Business Report 2026, many family enterprises expect to move from family-run operating businesses to family-owned, board-governed enterprises by 2035 – but succession planning, AI adoption, and formal governance structures are all lagging behind that ambition.

In this 50-minute session sponsored by Ideals Board, Frederik Otto and Andreas von Specht of AvS Advisors join host Ashley Melidosian to unpack four governance trends reshaping family businesses right now, and discuss what good governance actually looks like in practice.
