Ready, willing, empowered – creating a foundation for generational transitions

Family enterprises in Canada have much to be proud of, from their dedication to creating jobs and value in local communities to their contribution to the economy, believes Olivier de Richoufftz, general secretary of the Family Enterprise Foundation, the charitable organization associated with Family Enterprise Canada.

Since family businesses play a key role in society, their continued success is of utmost importance, and a recent Family Enterprise Foundation study gauged the readiness of family-owned enterprises for the upcoming period of generational transition.
