Is Your Strategy Passing the Stress Test?

Tuesday, August 18, 2020 from 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM

Virtual Session Presented by Wipfli, LLP

Keynote: Tina Nazier - Director of Strategic Advisory Services at Wipfli, LLP

The current business situation is unpredictable, unclear, and creating extreme stress on organizations and their strategies for growth.  Plans that made perfect sense just months ago, are likely irrelevant today. 

Business leaders who can shift focus on the here and now, determine and implement the quick changes necessary to remain viable, and get those changes executed will benefit the most.

Are you laser focused on the right things for all stakeholders?  Is your team – from top to bottom - clear, focused, and acting with urgency? 

If not, this interactive workshop will help you take a closer look at your strategy to identify the critical few priorities – and get them into action – so you can get back on the growth track quickly.

Following this session participants will be able to:

• Identify how your strategy should evolve to new demands
• Identify the team and resources needed to address critical priorities
• Incorporate a deliberate change management approach to increase your success
• Develop an implementation structure to increase odds of achieving your desired results

Looking Past the Fear and the Noise: 2020-2022

Virtual Session with Alex Chausovsky from ITR Economics

Never has it been more critical for company leaders and key decision makers to have a clear, impartial, and data-driven perspective of how factors such as COVID-19 and oil price volatility will impact our economic future, and what they should be thinking about in preparation for that future. ITR Economics will help you see what the future holds as you move through the depths of this black swan period and seek the resumption of something approaching normal.

We will:

1. Examine the probable timeline for when the economy can move past the black swans and what shape the recovery profile is likely to take
2. Connect the dots between the economic information and what it means for your business

Webinar login information will be emailed prior to the meeting.
