Many family businesses are built on strong foundations, yet they struggle to grow, transition, or sustain themselves beyond the founder. The challenge is rarely effort—it is often the absence of structure, governance, and clearly defined systems.
In this insightful Business Recovery Series session by Enterprise Uganda, Dr. Fred Kasirye Katongole (PhD), Assistant Professor of Management and expert in development management and sustainability, explores why many family enterprises stall in the founder’s shadow.
Drawing on his expertise in management, innovation, and organizational systems, Dr. Kasirye unpacks the importance of governance, role clarity, and leadership structures that enable businesses to operate independently of the founder. He highlights how entrepreneurs can transition from founder-led decision-making to system-driven operations that support continuity and long-term stability.
This session reinforces Enterprise Uganda’s commitment to advancing entrepreneurship, business growth in Uganda, and Business Development Services (BDS) by equipping entrepreneurs with practical tools for building resilient and sustainable enterprises.
