Webinar – What organisations do in times of Crisis – What they should do

CPD Hours: 1

When faced with financial crises, organisations tend to focus most of their efforts on immediate cost reductions and survival.  Brendan will argue and provide examples of how organisations can make smart strategic choices during tough times that turn crises into opportunities rather than threats. If the organisations adopt an opportunity mindset they can set themselves up for long-term success.
