Following recent FFI global conferences, we have learned much about the need to create new educational futures for professionals, academics, organizations, and governments as they face, adapt to, and improve the family enterprise ecosystems in which they operate. It is the 2023 Program Committee’s hope that by evolving the varieties and the intellectual rigor of conversations and research in the family enterprise field, we can improve and create dialog and action plans for and with our clients and change the educational face of the field.
There are five themes around which you can organize your submissions for Evolving the Conversation: The Future of Family Enterprise Advising and Research.
Education & Research
New modes and frames of reference have emerged for professionals and academics over the last three years. How can they be used? How will they change the conversation?
Work & Economic Growth
We are hopefully coming out of a global pandemic that has left its mark on every aspect and facet of life and business. What does this mean for the future of work and economic growth?
Governance & Infrastructure
Advisors, researchers, and the clients they serve are operating in an increasing complex environment. The factors driving complexity are both external and internal. What are the implications on governance models and needed infrastructure?
Partnerships & Collaborations
Partnership and collaborations seem inevitable and logical to meet the challenges ahead, but how they happen and under what circumstances and for what purposes is an open question.
Your Choice
Up to you! Feel free to propose topics beyond what the committee has delineated.
