Family Business – Succession

Succession: The Business Challenge That Determines the Future of the Company

Save your Spot - Register NOW

Ideal for entrepreneurs, successors, and leaders of family businesses.
LMost failures in family businesses are due to a lack of well-planned succession — not a lack of market, talent, or capital. When the transition is postponed, improvised, or driven by emotion, the business loses direction and legitimacy. Succession is not an event. It is a strategic process that requires early planning, clear governance, and deliberate leadership development to ensure continuity, stability, and longevity beyond the founder and across generations.
Presenter: Manuel Morales, Jr.
Founder of six family businesses. Board member in four family-owned companies. Author of three books on family entrepreneurship. Professor of the Family Business course at the Metropolitan Campus of the Inter American University, and instructor on the subject at the Puerto Rico CPA Society.
Topics to be covered:

Succession is an institutional challenge
Continuity matters more than inheritance
Leadership is transferred, not inherited
The founder must learn to let go
Governance makes succession viable

Family Business – Governance
2026-03-11 09:00 - 10:00 | Via Zoom
Understanding the Family Business: GOVERNANCE
Protecting the Family from Itself

Save your Spot. Register NOW

Ideal for business owners, successors, and leaders of family enterprises.
Good governance in a family business is the framework that enables the company to transcend generations. It means providing structure, discipline, and a long-term vision so that the family legacy relies on shared rules. Governance defines who makes decisions, under what criteria, and through which mechanisms. Tools such as a family protocol and formal succession policies professionalize decision-making, reduce improvisation, and strengthen credibility. Governance creates an institutional space to manage disagreements without fracturing family unity, aligning expectations regarding dividends, reinvestment, and roles within the business.
Presenter: Manuel Morales, Jr.
Founder of six family businesses. Board member of four family-owned companies. Author of three books on family entrepreneurship. Professor of the Family Business course at the Metropolitan Campus of the Inter American University and instructor on the subject at the Puerto Rico Society of CPAs.
Topics to be Covered:

What governance is — and what it is not
Why governance is necessary
Governance and Management
Structures and tools
The foundation of succession and continuity
