Topic:
Strengthening Family Businesses in South Australia Through the PEDaL Program: Enhancing Personal Effectiveness, Development, and Leadership
Session Overview:
Family businesses form the backbone of South Australia’s economy, but they often face complex and deeply personal challenges — from succession planning and governance to navigating intergenerational dynamics.
The Personal Effectiveness, Development and Leadership (PEDaL) Program, developed by Blue Jam, offers a tailored and transformative approach to these issues. PEDaL equips family members with the skills and insights needed to grow personally and professionally, ensuring long-term success for both the business and the family behind it.
What You’ll Learn:
Join Martin Pike to explore how PEDaL supports the growth, resilience, and sustainability of South Australian family businesses through:
-
Leadership Succession & Continuity – Preparing the next generation to lead with confidence.
-
Improved Communication & Relationship Management – Building trust, reducing friction, and improving collaboration.
-
Enhanced Personal Effectiveness – Strengthening self-awareness, accountability, and time management.
-
Strategic Thinking & Long-Term Planning – Shifting focus from day-to-day operations to future-proofing the business.
-
Support for Non-Family Executives – Clarifying roles and fostering cohesion within the leadership team.
-
Preserving Legacy While Driving Innovation – Balancing tradition and change across generations.
