Research-based solutions and education for family business leaders
Established in 1999, the John L. Ward Center for Family Enterprises has pioneered much of what is known about the collective challenges family businesses face.
Since then, the Ward Center has built a collaborative family business community among Kellogg students, faculty, alumni and family business scholars. Our global network of business families connect with each other to generate innovative solutions to current and emerging challenges faced by family enterprises. Learn more.
