What’s on the minds of family businesses as they navigate today’s rapidly changing landscape? Family business priorities, perspective, and even views on artificial intelligence are revealed in a new survey of 160 family businesses. Prairie Family Business Association annually, in partnership with @ USD’s Beacom School of Business, surveys their family businesses members about the topics, issues and programs they view as key to their success and longevity. “At PFBA, listening to our members is crucial, and our annual survey is a data-driven tool that helps us achieve that. The insights gathered from this survey shape the programs and services we provide, ensuring we deliver high value to the family businesses we serve,” said Stephanie Larscheid, Executive Director.
