How to Keep the Family (Business) Together Across Generations

Enterprise Explores delves into the intricacies of family business legacies, the strategies to keep the family business together, and navigating key challenges such as different leadership styles, holding onto traditions too tightly, and much more. We speak with Tai Lai Kok, Family Business Tax Leader at KPMG Private Enterprise in Malaysia, about all this as well as the findings from the recent KPMG survey on family businesses.

We will discuss the key components of legacy building, the importance of transgenerational entrepreneurship, and the opportunities and challenges faced by family businesses in Malaysia. Tai will share insights on how integrating change and innovation can drive family businesses towards a lasting legacy, ensuring their sustainability and superior performance.
