Monday Session
Aussem focuses on the business owners' journey through succession, emphasizing the practical aspects necessary to achieve an effective transfer of an enterprise. Aussem provides a nuts-and-bolts explanation of alternative strategies that have proven effective in transitioning ownership as well as management through family and key employees. If the owner determines that a transition will not be effective or that they can't transition and realize their value proposition, the sale of the enterprise is also explored as an option.
