When siblings inherit family business conflicts

My brother and I inherited our family's small business when Dad retired last year and we're discovering we have very different visions for it - he wants to keep everything exactly how Dad did it and I think we need to modernize to survive. Every decision becomes a battle between honoring the past and securing the future, and it's starting to affect our relationship outside of work.
