Panmedia is developing a family business website that will be added to the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica’s site we launched in June 2008. The online presence is part of a larger project to improve the competitiveness of family business through corporate governance, according to Project Director Sandra Shirley.
The project, Developing Modern Family Business in Jamaica, will use this section of the PSOJ site to disseminate case studies and other documentation and to engage business owners. It includes training and technical assistance for selected family-controlled, micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in Jamaica.
The site will allow family businesses to register, submit business details, offer testimonials and success stories and submit blog entries. The blogs will act as a forum to discuss issues that face family businesses, and is expected to yield useful insights for the project. Registered members will also be able to upload videos for display.
