Mission driven family enterprises astutely adopt a sustainable development mindset to innovate and outperform rivals in the short-term. This mindset is also used to identify value creation investments for the long-term. With longer temporal vistas and freedom from quarterly reporting to public, private multigenerational family firms are uniquely positioned to excel amidst rapidly changing environmental pressures. Using case examples, this interactive program will illustrate the opportunities, challenges and practicalities of sustainable innovation strategy, inspiring ideas for your own enterprise.

Dr. Sharma is a professor at the University of Vermont’s Grossman School of Business, former editor of Family Business Review, co-founder of the Family Enterprise Research Conference (FERC), part of a family enterprise, and co-author of eleven books on family business.
