The UConn Family Business Program is dedicated to enhancing the success of businesses, families and individuals by providing unparalleled
resources and opportunities for collaboration.

Our goal is to help family businesses develop strategies and policies that will serve to
perpetuate family ownership while helping
them make significant advances in functions related to business strategy, increased complexity, organizational structure, management practices, diligence and succession planning. These functions are supported through our many program offerings that give members an opportunity to explore critical marker-points such as managing conflict, developing a strategic plan, creating a shared mission/vision/values statement, enhancing communication, establishing compensation and incentive plans, striking a positive work/life balance, defining roles, integrating non-family managers, inspiring innovation, achieving structured growth and planning for retirement and beyond.

Our program accomplishes this through a multi-disciplinary approach that focuses on cause and effect of instituting best practices - and its impact on functions critical to successful family business stewardship. By leveraging our core body of knowledge, attending our peer advisory groups and family business speaker series, participating in our graduate solutions parogram, or engaging in our PIECE program, we strive to give family firms the tools and guidance necessary to minimize conflict and maximize goal congruence along their individual paths - and to give them the confidence to make the best decisions possible for their businesses, their families and themselves.
