Family Business Association (FBA) is proud to launch the Strategic Business Planning Course, an on-demand, self-paced online course designed for family businesses to develop a tailored strategic plan for sustained success. In an FBA first, this course will be offered in a self-paced online structure, allowing family businesses to progress through the 8 hours of content at their own convenience.
Delivered exclusively through FBA, this course will provide family businesses with the knowledge, tools and resources to develop a tailored strategic plan, instilling clarity, direction and a systematic decision-making approach aligned to the family’s vision, values and legacy.
“We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that family businesses face,” said Sarah Herft, FBA Education Program Manager. “With many competing priorities it’s important that you take the time to work on your business, as well as in your business. That’s why we developed this course, to provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to align your objectives, plan for the future and improve communication within your family and business for sustained growth,” said Sarah.
“We are thrilled to be expanding our education offering to family businesses with this course,” said Catherine Sayer, FBA CEO. “Providing an on-demand self-paced course structure accommodates for the busy schedules of family business owners and their teams, making it accessible to everyone.”
To ensure participants are supported throughout the self-paced course, FBA Specialist Accredited Advisor, Harry Kras, will be only a click away throughout the duration of the program.
