The Sages family business story follows a fictional family through the entrepreneurial success of a little grocery shop created in the 1950s, which overtime becomes a significant retail group. Through this story, we discover various challenges that family members face, from transitions, to wealth, as well as people concerns, growth, governance and overall risk factors. Written by Christine Blondel of INSEAD - a Senior Advisor to KPMG Private Enterprise on Family Business Intelligence, the story unfolds into several case studies which help the reader to discover the full complexity of each situation.

These cases represent common challenges that our global family business practitioners encounter often while working with clients. We invite you to work through the questions raised in each of the case studies and connect with a local advisor to learn more about these common challenges and ways to overcome any similar situations your business may encounter.
