Hosted by INSEAD Wendel International Centre for Family Enterprises, the INSEAD Family Enterprise Summit will address how leading business families are taking diverse strategic paths to thrive across generations—leveraging private capital to achieve sustainable growth while upholding stewardship and purpose. Discussions will also explore evolving ownership models, next generation leadership dynamics, and the alignment of capital, culture, and long term vision.

CEO succession is one of the most consequential decisions a board will ever make — and one of the least well understood. It shapes strategy, culture, investor confidence, and long-term organisational performance. Yet too often, boards treat succession as a one-off replacement exercise rather than a sustained governance discipline.To address this gap, INSEAD Professor Stanislav Shekshnia has written a new book — 21 Questions about CEO Succession. The Webinar hosted by INSEAD Corporate Governance Centre will feature Professor Shekshnia presenting key findings from the book and fireside chat with by distinguished board leaders who will share their perspectives and hard-won lessons from leading succession processes in practice.
