🌍 #FIDIfocus : Conference season just passed – a time of year to which we all look forward. But wait a sec – ‘all’? It’s not actually all of us, is it? A very small percentage of our industry is fortunate enough to attend the in-person events our sector has to offer – the annual FIDI conference being just one example. Following the FIDI 39 Club’s annual conference in Edinburgh, President Jackie Stouffer describes how the organisation has evolved far beyond its annual event to provide development and networking For so long, FIDI 39 Club membership was inextricably tied to conference attendance. Popular opinion among decision-makers was that the only benefits offered by the club were during the annual conference, and that the FIDI 39 Club equals partying. Therefore, registering someone for the club meant the individual would be presumed to be going to the annual conference to party. The solution to this? Avoid registering your young talent for the club, so as not to set the wrong expectation. That is not the case any more, read the article on FIDIfocus (link is in the comment section). #FIDI #globalmobility #talent

Exploring the Essence of Time in Family Business: Mean Time, Timing, and Timelessness ⏳ 🕰️🌟 In the dynamic world of business families, the concept of time goes beyond mere seconds ticking on a clock—it encompasses the delicate balance between the past, present, and future. As a committee member of the 2024 Family Firm Institute (FFI) Conference Program, I am thrilled to announce the official *Call for Proposals for the 2024 FFI Global Conference*. I find it compelling to delve into the intricacies of "Mean Time": the intersection of time, timing, and timelessness. 1. ⏳ Mean Time: In business families, the Mean Time represents the average or central point of a family's entrepreneurial journey. It encapsulates the shared experiences, values, and lessons learned over generations. Understanding the Mean Time allows us to appreciate the historical context that shapes family enterprises and provides a foundation for sustainable growth. 2. 🕰️ Timing is Everything: Success in business families often hinges on well-timed decisions and strategic actions. Whether it's transitioning leadership, initiating succession plans, or seizing new opportunities, recognising the opportune moment is paramount. Timing involves a keen awareness of external market dynamics, internal family dynamics, and the ability to navigate change effectively. 3. 🌟 Timelessness of Values: Beyond the constraints of clocks and calendars, business families seek timelessness in their values. These enduring principles act as north stars, steering the family through various challenges and transitions. Embracing timelessness ensures that the essence of the family business remains intact, providing a source of strength and continuity across generations. As we reflect on the intricate dance between Mean Time, Timing, and Timelessness, let's open the floor for discussions at the upcoming FFI Global Conference. I invite you to submit proposals that explore these themes and share your insights on how family businesses can navigate the temporal intricacies to thrive in an ever-changing landscape via: https://lnkd.in/gr5FwkMA I'd like you to join me in shaping the narrative of time within family enterprises. Together, let's unlock the wisdom embedded in Mean Time and propel family businesses towards a timeless legacy. #FamilyBusiness #TimeInBusiness #FFIConference2024 #MeanTime #TimingIsEverything #TimelessValues #FFI #legacy

Today is the final day of IMEX Frankfurt. At booth E100 Paul Gruijthuijsen is, on behalf of the VGF - Pre-financing & Guarantee Fund, informing organisers of multiple day international (association) conferences about the various options for how VGF can help to limit the financial risks.   An often-heard comment is: “We can’t believe that the Netherlands is offering a free of charge financial support. And that there are no strings attached.” But it is true. Our foundation is there to support you when organising a conference in the Netherlands so you can fully focus on other aspects such as a high-level scientific programme and logistics.   Do you want to find out more yourself? Today is your last chance to talk to Paul. So hurry and meet him at E100, the booth of the Netherlands.   Fotografie Jan Buteijn     #vgfisready #eventprofs #prefinancing #guarantee #conference #eventplanners #events #locationowners #reunite #MeetinNetherlands #NBTC #location #financialadvantage #evaluate #communication #network #planning #international #funding
