A New Vision for Intergenerational Leadership Transition in Family Businesses
The key to sustainable success in family businesses lies in developing next-generation leaders. A common question is “How should we prepare the next generation?” – but this question often comes too late in the journey.
This highlights the critical need for developing leaders who cannot only master operational capabilities but also understand the entirety of corporate existence. Traditional approaches to preparing heirs to manage specific business functions are no longer sufficient in today’s complex business environment.
SPALDA Academy emerged as a response to this challenge: A contemporary learning and development journey focused on achieving concrete results in intergenerational leadership transitions within family businesses…
What is SPALDA Academy?
SPALDA Academy is a measurable and long-term development program designed to nurture next-generation leaders in family businesses and carry corporate culture into the future.
The program emphasizes delegating management rather than just managing and working harmoniously with professionals, equipping young leaders with tools to establish and maintain professional structures. Through independent evaluators and regular feedback on the development performance of next-generation family members, it aims for a smooth generational transition aligned with corporate governance principles.
What makes SPALDA Academy different is its focus on building a sustainable future while preserving each family’s and company’s unique culture. The program offers flexibility that can be adapted to each organization’s unique dynamics, recognizing that a one-size-fits-all model would be insufficient.
SPALDA Academy is a mature product of quarter-century experience, comprehensive research, and valuable field insights.
In family businesses, future leaders must possess the ability to manage not only the business itself, but the “corporate entity as a whole” which encompasses the business, family, and all owned assets. Sustainable success is only possible through this holistic perspective.
In the coming period, we will continue to share our progress at SPALDA Academy and our thoughts on developing the next generation in family businesses through our website and company LinkedIn page.
We invite you to be part of this transformation.
