Australia is approaching the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in its history. For families of significant wealth, this moment will either build resilience or expose fault lines.

In this workshop, led by John Vamos, PWN Chair and leading family adviser, we'll explore the conversations that matter most when families prepare for transition. John has spent decades guiding boards and family enterprises through moments of change, helping them replace conflict with clarity and build frameworks that actually work.

This is a PWN Members-only activity.

Why Participate:
Governance and clear stewardship frameworks are what align different perspectives within a family enterprise. This workshop offers practical tools for managing complexity, planning for long-term continuity, and family unity.

 
What You'll Learn:
  • How to have open conversations about succession and stewardship with respect, not tension
  • Frameworks for aligning family members with different priorities and personalities
  • Real family case studies, from high-conflict dynamics to disengaged relatives, and what it takes to bring everyone to the table
  • The pitfalls that erode family unity, and how to turn hard conversations into productive ones
     
Practical Tools to Ensure All Voices Are Heard:
  • The business — anchored by a clear strategic plan
  • The Founder and individual family members — supported through personal plans
  • The family as a collective — guided by a Family Charter
  • The wider family community (spouses, partners, younger and future generations) — engaged through retreats or forums
