RI Breakfast Series - Managing Through The Downturn
from Smaller Business Association of New England (SBANE)
This event has passed.
Wednesday, September 3, 2008, 7:30am - 9:00am
Join SBANE to hear Andrew Schwartz speak on "Managing Through The current Downturn." The increasingly uncertain economic outlook means a strategy shift is in order, or at least illustrates the urgency of planning for any downturn. So many years of economic growth have made some companies complacent, and now is the time to prepare for worst-case scenarios. "Managers are either young and haven't dealt with a downturn before, or they dealt with one seven years ago. This is not the kind of thing that people get too much practice with."
Winners and losers will emerge during any economic change, and mistakes can be all the more costly during a recession. To avoid getting sunk, the first thing to know is that a recession is not a time to hunker down, pull back and hope to come out unscathed. A downturn can actually be good for a well-managed company. "It's a priceless opportunity to improve your position relative to your competitors."
Andrew has a unique ability as a facilitator to engage and connect with his audiences in a positive and permanent way. The knowledge you will gain from this program and highly recognized expert can be invaluable for surviving and thriving in today's economy.
