The Goering Center for Family & Private Business, at the University of Cincinnati, is a leading educational and informational resource center for family and closely held businesses. Membership in the Goering Center benefits businesses of every size and industry.  As a member business, everyone on your staff is a welcome constituent. Together, you can attend programs, meet the "who's who" of the Cincinnati area family and private business owners who enjoy sharing their stories and learning from one another.
 
With the intent of accelerating business growth and sustaining family business harmony, the Goering Center can help you address the unique and critical issues facing firms of all sizes including:
  • Succession Planning
  • Leadership Development
  • Governance Issues
  • Communication Techniques
  • Compensation Issues
  • Conflict Resolutions
  • Strategic Planning
  • Advisory Boards

The Goering Center has one of the leading programs in the country, preparing the Next Generation of family business owners to manage the family firm. Our Leadership Development Institute is designed to address the unique challenges faced by those leading a family business.  And the Strategic Business Planning Institute will allow your team to take away an implementable plan on a few pages, not a two-inch binder. The Goering Center also maintains an extensive resource library of videos, publications, and texts relating to many of the unique issues faced by family firms.
