Crisis as an Opportunity

Times of crisis lead to a reas­sess­ment or shift in social, econo­mic, and poli­ti­cal posi­ti­ons. Why the current chal­lenges facing super­vi­sory and advi­sory boards of family-owned compa­nies require a new approach, what skills they need now, and why gene­ra­tio­nal succes­sion is not one of them. — Here are three ques­ti­ons for Peter Alex­an­der Rapp, a part­ner at Board Xperts in Frank­furt who specia­li­zes in family-owned busi­nesses, parti­cu­larly in the sectors of fast-moving consu­mer goods, sports, fashion & life­style, media, and retail.
