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.
As a member of a multi-generational family and former President of Laird Norton, an eighth-generation family enterprise, Peter Evans understands what it takes to sustain family legacy.
He and his wife, Melissa Evans, will lead this intimate workshop exploring the governance, leadership, and relationships that enable families to thrive across generations, drawing on decades of lived experience and family case studies from around the world.
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
