Courses for Family Businesses
We have prepared tailor-made executive courses for individual business families. In a family that runs a business, two completely different systems overlap – family and business. If one system is preferred to another, then family business does not have a long-term sustainable perspective. That is why there are our courses, in which we will deal in detail with the dilemmas faced by family business owners. The courses are very interactive, use modern educational procedures and are implemented exclusively with the owners and successors of family businesses. An important element is the mutual transfer of experience and perspectives. Currently, we offer courses in Czech, but we can also offer individual courses in English.
Lecturers
The founder of the Centre, Professor Jiří Hnilica, and Academic Director Martin Jurek will guide you through our courses. Professor Hnilica has long been professionally focused on corporate strategies and family business. Martin Jurek himself works in a family business and his research is based on a number of practical experiences. At the Prague University of Economics and Business, he runs the English course Strategy and Succession in Family Businesses and is thus in contact with the young generation of successors in family businesses.

Building a family business for the next 100 years: part 2
In the second part of the course, we will look in more detail at areas which, according to our consulting practice, tend to be really challenging for entrepreneurial families:
- how to organize a family council, who should attend it and what to (not) discuss at it?
- communication and decision-making;
- managing shares and ownership through holdings, foundations or endowments and trusts;
- and how to get it in the family constitution.
