Family Business Network Asia (FBN Asia) is a regional chapter of FBN International, a private not-for-profit organisation representing family businesses in 65 countries across 5 continents. FBN Asia offers opportunities for stakeholders of the family business to learn, communicate and share within the safe haven of its family business community.
Working in concert with institutions and experts in the family business and sustainability space on research and capacity development, the Network FBN Asia integrates old wisdom, learned skills and new knowledge in a practice context, to build a sustainable family business community.
The MOA signing between FBN Asia and Premier Family Business Consulting will have the following key agreements:
1. For FBN Asia to establish a Philippine Country Committee, comprising or family business members of FBN Asia from the Philippines; and
2. For Premier to support FBN Asia’s branding and recruitment of members in the Philippines from its own network of families in business;
3. For both parties to conduct events in the Philippines to share the knowledge, resources and network of FBN Asia to bonafide members in the country. The partnership intends to reach out to families in business in the Philippines to become part of the global knowledge and resource sharing network.
Family businesses are unique, as these firms are values driven, built on loyalty, compassion, and service to the community among others. Family businesses have also specific issues such as family dynamics, succession-related issues, governance which are not addressed specifically by any other organization. Having a community or network of families in business who understand these issues in the context of family, is now even more pronounced and evident as the world faces the global pandemic coupled with an economic crisis practically in the same scale. Now more than ever such a network of families in business become all the more relevant and critical.
The MOA signing will introduce key officers of FBN Asia and Premier to the Philippine family business community and members of the media via a virtual presser to be held on the same day, August 7, at 9:30am Philippine Standard Time and Singapore Standard Time.
