About the Conversation
Preparing a business to remain strong as leadership, ownership and responsibilities evolve across generations asks a different set of questions altogether.
Beyond the Founder brings together founders, next-generation family members and experienced professionals for an open conversation on the decisions, relationships and structures that shape the continuity of family enterprises.
Rather than offering one formula for every family, the discussion will bring different perspectives and lived experiences into the room. It will help participants identify the questions that matter for their own family and enterprise.
This is the first edition of Beyond the Founder, a Rotary International District 3191 initiative led by the Rotary Clubs of Bangalore Southwest and Bangalore Southparade, in association with FKCCI. It is deliberately a small room, kept open and participative.
On the table
The programme is particularly relevant for:
Seats are limited and registration closes once capacity is reached.
You may not leave with every answer.
But you should leave with greater clarity about what your family or enterprise should discuss before circumstances make the discussion urgent.
The conversation is designed to help participants:
A useful next step — not just an interesting discussion
Participants will receive My Continuity Check, a personal reflection card to help identify one issue worth addressing, one conversation to initiate and one practical next step.
The card is yours to keep. It need not be submitted.
