Later, two of the students of the course made an assessment of the course on behalf of the rest of the attendees:
Andrea Castellar (Project Manager at Discomon, 2nd generation) commented that for her the course had been like a painting of a tree, the tree of the family business, in which each leaf has been a new concept a new brushstroke. A picture that is about to end and that will continue to paint on the road that remains to be traveled. He detailed some of the brushstrokes that he takes from the course:
- Bernardo Gregori and his family corporate strategy, how Grefusa has grown and what a great example!
- Juanvi Tamarit the PASSION in the company, the family businesses are much more than the family, the people who make them up are special.
- María Beltrán with the family culture and values, the GENEROSITY so important in this type of companies.
- Pilar González and conflict management, which is important to know how to detect the origin of the conflict and channel it.
- Alejandro Escribá and the challenges of the family business, such as being competitive, which is important to professionalize and have an order within the organization, a plan. And the scenario, which is important is the context and the ability to generate them in the medium- long term to be "gardeners" and in the short "commanders". Great lesson from Tomás González.
Juan Antonio Muñoz Tirado (Director of operations at Nucleonova, 2nd generation) commented that he began to interest you in how to be able to succeed and manage the durability of his family business, in it they have detected and are managing the different challenges to which, after the Family Business course, they have been able to name and have known the different tools and considerations to take into account to face them.
In general, he is very satisfied with the content of the course, since almost all the aspects necessary to guarantee the continuity and durability of the Family Business have been covered and touched on, with special emphasis on the values and the importance of knowing how to manage conflicts.
For their part, our promoters and sponsors dedicated a few words to the attendees highlighting the importance of continuing to work and supporting the Chair in all its activities, since this course takes tools for property, family and business management. In addition to understanding and valuing the work of Family Businesses in society.
In the conclusions of the event, the director of the Chair, Alejandro Escribá stressed that the Chair of Family Business is committed to its mission: To contribute, from the academic world, to the improvement of the competitiveness and durability of family businesses. The project of the chair aims to advance in this mission through teaching, and also through the creation of knowledge about the management of the family business, and the transfer of knowledge to the professional world.
