That is simply not true. Additionally\, while specific knowledge and skills are necessary for realizing the gains from truly effective ownership\, they are not sufficient. To build effective owners (and owner teams)\, we believe that families should work to develop an "owner's mindset." A mindset is a set of beliefs\, which drive and shape what we do\, how we engage with others\, and how we behave in every moment and situation.\n\n\n\nDuring this presentation\, we'll define both family business ownership and an owner's mindset. Then\, we'll discuss an approach to developing an owner's mindset for current and prospective owners\, operating and non-operating owners\, baby and "seasoned" owners alike.\n\n\n\nKeynote Speaker: Barbara Dartt\, DVM\, MS\, Family Business Consulting Group\n\nBarbara Dartt is a principal consultant for The Family Business Consulting Group\, assisting businesses with succession strategies\, long-term planning\, management transitions and family governance implementation\, as well as other opportunities and challenges unique to family-owned businesses. Her experience in helping businesses navigate relationships\, create structure\, and formalize roles brings clarity to her clients' organizational development needs. Barb brings strong facilitative skills to the areas of strategic design and planning\, work group\, council and Board formation. She also enjoys applying these facilitative skills to building trust and managing the conflict found within family businesses.\n\n\n\nBarb's path to family business consulting is based in very traditional roots. Growing up\, she watched her grandfather and father provide educational extension services to family-owned farms. Her interest in serving farm families led her to study veterinary medicine\, earning her doctoral degree from Michigan State University in 1996.\n\n\n\nIn 1998\, Barb earned a master's degree in Agricultural Economics at MSU where she worked as a graduate research assistant\, then as a Farm Business Management Specialist. She continued her family legacy as a third-generation extension agent working closely with family farms to enhance their business practices\, develop management skills and identify growth opportunities.\n\n\n\nDrawing from her strengths as a financial and strategic advisor\, Barb focused her career on supporting the distinctive needs of family business entrepreneurs as a senior business consultant for Salisbury Management Services (later named Lookout Ridge Consulting) in 2001. She later became a founding partner of GROW\, a family business advisory firm serving a wide range of sectors from agriculture and manufacturing to professional services.\n\n\n\nIn 2014\, Barb joined FBCG to leverage her extensive advising experience to work with family enterprises across industries. According to a client\, "Without Barb's help\, we wouldn't have made the progress much needed on our decision making and family relationships." Barb does this work for the thrill of watching the talents of individual family members get recognized and brought to bear for the betterment of their families and businesses.\n\n\n\nShe earned the Advanced Certificate in Family Business Advising from the Family Firm Institute in 2014. She has also recently served as board director and President of the Michigan FFA Foundation.\n\n\n\nBarb lives in the East Lansing\, Michigan area with her husband and three children where she enjoys cooking\, reading\, and cheering on her favorite high school and college basketball teams.
