Good initiative indeed - It is about time that Pakistani Business Houses, Dynastic and in some cases One Man Show (Sethia), get decent consultancy from the likes of Mackensy to give a professional boost to 'Organisational Structure' and 'Human Resource'. This will go a long way in aggressive effective progressive business growth as well as smooth transition and business continuity irrespective of the fact which generation is running the show.
