If the current Indian scenario is taken into consideration, one will notice that more than 60 percent of the companies are family run and were found to be doing quite well in the last 30 years. Family run businesses were the key beneficiaries in this period. However, with the advancements in technologies and globalization, the barrier on the companies has now been lifted and consequently competition has been increased exponentially.

Challenges and Family run businesses

The global growth in prospects and opportunities to exploit supply chain are dwindling and falling costs have dramatically slowed down the profits for such companies. Moreover, Family Businesses also lack internal structures around which the sustainable business muscle is built. The biggest challenge family-run businesses face is that they struggle to build and manage the businesses that help them in leading and thriving in the VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous)

Business Excellence and related transformation practices can really help such family-run businesses in tackling the growing challenges and improve their productivity as well as profitability. Many people still believe that transformation journey is only for large companies and will not cater to the needs of small or medium sized organizations. It is a complete myth.

Team Faber Infinite was recently called upon to address the ‘Family Business Transformation Summit’ which was held in Surat and share with the emerging family driven businesses – how operational excellence can help one in transforming a 20^th century family run business to a fast-growing 21^st century business conglomerate organization with the help of operational excellence, irrespective of the size of the organization.

Operational Excellence and Family run businesses

In the modern industrial world, there are many deficiency tags such as the high cost of capital, operational efficiencies, delayed deliveries, reduced margins amongst many others obstruct the growth of the family-run businesses. These factors make it very difficult for the organizations to compete in the market with independent owners and investors. To achieve, exponential growth, the organizations need to get Fitter, Faster, Better and Efficient. This can be achieved by implementing Operational Excellence and transformation practices.
