Create Your Reopening and Recovery Strategy 

The objective of this webinar is to explore a four-step process to help you reopen your small business and develop a strategic plan for the rest of the year: Assess. Account. Plan. Communicate.

Learn about these key planning elements:

• Cash forecasting and management
• Business canvas and pivoting
• Staffing and training
• Supply chain disruption
• Inventory management

Practical approaches to generate new sources of revenue and local pivoting examples will be shared to trigger ideas on how you can protect your business in a marketplace that keeps changing.  Industry-specific action plans and checklists will provide specific steps you can take now to think ahead and plan for the future.
