The Business of People: Building Capability and Leading Performance was the theme of the state conference held Friday May 19th. The conference programme covered the specialties of working in a family business and with family members. It was a content rich programme and feedback received from those that attended can be found on the SA Family Business Australia Facebook site here: The short vignettes really capture the takeaway value that delegates received listen here : https://www.facebook.com/fambizsa/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE
