Forum Group Program
The only professionally facilitated, executive discussion group in New Zealand that deals with unique complexities created by the overlay of family,
business and ownership.
On the back of 22 years of success in Australia, Family Business New Zealand is proud to launch the Forum Group Program, which will provide a confidential space for family business leaders, executives and CEOs to raise tough issues, workshop concerns and celebrate successes. Members who have had similar experiences are encouraged to offer their insights while being guided by an experienced group facilitator.
Members who have participated in forum groups have consistently shared positive outcomes and experiences from their involvement. In fact, 99% of forum participants surveyed said they’d recommend a friend to join.

Gain perspective outside the family dynamics
-
Talk freely, without judgement
-
Surround yourself with like-minded family business leaders
-
Discuss strategic planning, governance, human resources, marketing strategies, family business succession, conflict resolution, family business dynamics, and more.
