This suggests strongly that, as imperative as it may seem, family businesses still struggle with adapting to the use of technological innovations, a situation that usually occurs because of generational differences. In this episode of NextGen Talks, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, Co-Founder and General Partner of Future Africa share his views on the role of digitizing a family business and the best approach given the older and younger generation dichotomy.

    At PwC, we find that succession planning is a perennial problem for family businesses.

    On this episode of NextGen Talks, Nike Anani, a PwC Nigeria NextGen Club member and a seasoned Family Business practitioner, shares her NextGen story and her views on the reluctance that engulfs founders when it's time to let go of the reins of the leadership of the business.
