On 24th April, FT Consulting had the privilege of hosting an exclusive event, The Future of Your Family Business is a Family Affair, in collaboration with The Jakarta Consulting Group. Held at the cosy Foreword Coffee at Esplanade Mall, this exclusive session brought together family business leaders and professionals for a candid, insightful conversation on the challenges and opportunities unique to family-run enterprises.
Our guest speaker, Patricia Susanto, CEO of The Jakarta Consulting Group, delivered a thought-provoking presentation drawing on over two decades of experience in family business consulting. Patricia explored essential themes such as long-term strategic planning, generational leadership transitions, conflict resolution, and business scalability. Her insights underscored the importance of strong family governance—highlighting how clearly defined roles, shared values, and structured communication can strengthen both the business and the family behind it.
A dynamic Q&A session followed, and the level of engagement made one thing clear: these conversations are not only timely, but necessary for the continued success of family businesses.
A key milestone of the event was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between FT Consulting and The Jakarta Consulting Group. This strategic partnership represents a shared commitment to empowering family businesses through specialised consulting, knowledge-sharing, and leadership development. We were honoured to have this moment officially witnessed by our Executive Chairman John Ong, and George Goh, Chairman of Ossia International.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Patricia Susanto for sharing her expertise, and to all who joined us in contributing to a memorable and impactful session. As we look ahead, we're excited to continue this important conversation—and to deepen the support we offer family businesses.
