How Not to Bankrupt Your Family

Member Event with Lauren Cohen, Harvard Business School Professor

In this session, Cohen will discuss ongoing work in leading Family Programs at the Harvard Business School. It will give insights into recent global trends in family enterprise and family office (FO) growth from both the family and the FO managers’ perspectives throughout the offices’ lifetime. Examples of family evolutions will include a 500-year-old(!) confectionary family firm in Japan to prominent family firms in the U.S. Participants will leave this session with current best-practices for structuring FOs and engaging them in fundraising and impact ventures.
