Colombo Paradise Round Table 5 Sri Lanka successfully concluded the 2nd Round Table 5 Business Forum, CPRT5’s annual fundraising event in collaboration with INSEAD Business School on 22 February. This edition conducted by Prof. Paul Kewene-Hite was focused on Family Business and Corporate Entrepreneurship.
The event consisting of two programs was a great success, the first, designed specifically for owners of family businesses was titled Empowering the Next Generation. It addressed challenges faced by such businesses, including the issue of the inter-generational gap and discussed forms of gap thinking and how to bridge the gaps so that future generations to follow will be empowered.
The second titled Corporate Entrepreneurship Training – Fostering Entrepreneurial Thinking within Family Business, Local Corporates and MNCs saw Prof. Paul Kewene-Hite utilising his proprietary 18-Step Framework for Corporate Entrepreneurship taking participants through a step-by-step process for creating new business initiatives inside an existing company.
