Economic Uncertainty and Risk

Considerations for managing global expansion and talent

 

Establishing an international presence is a critical success factor for companies competing on a global scale. In the midst of unprecedented volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA), decision makers are under pressure to make the best decisions possible in the least amount of time, even when it comes to major investments. Yet in order to avoid catastrophic losses, it is prudent for business leaders to measure twice, cut once.

You are invited to join us Wednesday, March 8^th, for important details on what every business leader should consider when preparing to step onto the global stage. From issues associated with financial and cash flow management to insurance and risk management, talent and expatriate management, the panel will provide information to support informed decisions to help business leaders approach global business decisions as strategic investments. The session will conclude with market research remarks from Dr. John Min, Economist with Tempus, Inc.

Who should attend:

• Decision makers in organizations conducting business outside of their home country.
• Organizations preparing to conduct business outside of their home country for the first time.
• Professional service providers with clients preparing to go global.

 

Refreshments will be served.
