Peter Jaskiewicz

leading your family business in Lausanne and also future-proofing your family business on the Singapore campus.

We've also had some of her colleagues on the show, as listeners know, including Freda Damasus and Peter Vogel.

Marlene has also co-founded Tycoon Trails, which is Turns the hardest lessons of family governance into a very unique live street game for corporate teams.

And then she also co-founded the family business group at the Singapore Institute of Directors.

So a lot of the work that we do with IMD is put families through learning journeys to figure out how they can set up their family governance and build a common vocabulary around it, understand what's needed, What are the trade-offs that you're making? How do you have legitimacy about those trade-offs? How do you take decisions together with a big group and then endorse them and legitimize the person that has to execute it? So these are really the crux of the survival of family businesses in the long run.

Thank you for that.

This topic we've discussed on this podcast with some of your colleagues in the industry, it's quite complicated and nuanced, of course.

And as I say, everyone has their unique point of view on the elements of governance, succession, and planning between the... preparation and communication and coordination.

turn our attention to our accomplished guests on today's episode.

On this episode of the Family Business Autocast, I am joined by Dr. Peter Jaskiewicz, who is one of the world's leading scholars in the field in family enterprise.

He is ranked in the top 25 academics in the world, and he's also the founding director of the Family Enterprise Legacy Institute at the University of Ottawa.

It's great to have Peter today.
