Chart a path for the success of your family business

Established in 1988, IMD’s Leading your Family Business is recognized as the world’s first, and longest-running program dedicated to holistic family and enterprise success.

This program is designed to empower you with practical strategies and governance structures to manage, grow and innovate your family business for multi-generational success. Embark on a comprehensive learning journey to reflect on your personal and professional challenges, priorities, and leadership style, guiding you to build a high-performing company with harmonious relationships.

This program is developed by the Global Family Business Center at IMD, a world-leading family business research and education center, focusing on the real issues that you face as a family business.

Discover the learning journey

You and your class

Your class will comprise a carefully selected group of business-owning families who share similar issues to yours. With IMD Business School’s rich expertise of over 30 years working with family businesses you will benefit from the most impactful learning both individually and as a group. Read more about the admission criteria.

Leading your Family Business has been created for members of the same family. For ideal learning benefits, we recommend team attendance – for example, family teams of several generations, siblings, cousins and/or key non-family managers. Develop a common approach, a common language, and build on this by sending members to the same program, or in phases over time – ideally with key decision makers.
