    ITK: Does your family farm business need a board?

    Chris Schied has been a business advisor for more than the last 25 years. Across his career he's learnt a few things about what it takes for family business and farming businesses to succeed. A few things we chat about: - Family boards are essential in agriculture for effective strategy, governance, risk management, and succession planning.- Family boards should meet at least twice a year, with an annual general meeting to review past performance and plan for the future.- Non-returning family members and external advisors should be involved in family board meetings.- Emotion should not be removed from decision-making in family businesses, as it plays a role in succession planning and understanding the purpose of the business.
