When generational differences create tension in family construction businesses

My son joined the family electrical business two years ago and he wants to modernize everything - our estimating software, our marketing, how we schedule jobs - but I've been doing this for twenty-five years and some of his ideas feel like solutions to problems we don't actually have. We're both getting frustrated because I think he sees me as stuck in the past and I think he doesn't understand what actually makes this business work.
