Enterprise families have a major impact on society and are key to making the world a better place. The future of enterprise families depends on the rising generation. It is hard to responsibly share ownership of the family legacy and it is complex to prosper for multiple generations.
How do you, as a rising generation, hope to contribute to your family’s flourishing? What balance is possible between your own goals and those of the family? What role do you play in the family enterprise and how can you contribute? How do you become more confident and credible?
Rising generation family members have a key role in driving enterprise families forward. They share a responsibility not only to themselves but also to their families, their businesses, the people, and the world.
The Responsible Ownership for Enterprise Families (ROEF) programme empowers you to prepare for a prosperous future as a rising generation family member.
ROEF Academy is a collaboration between two world-class institutions with a wealth of experience in enterprise families: Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and Family Office Exchange (USA).
