01/04/2020 - 02/04/2020 10:00 am - 11:00 am Managing your Cash Flow during the COVID-19 crisis with Alan Miltz Preserving Cash is Critical In this difficult time, it has never been more important to understand and manage your Cash Flow so you can preserve your cash. In any given business there are up to 7 critical levers that impact your Cash Flow, collectively we call them The Power of One: Price; Volume; Cost of Sales/Direct Costs; Overheads; Receivables; Inventory; Payables. Understand your “Power of One” It is important to make sure you understand which levers are most sensitive within your business. Do you know what a 1% or 1 day change in each of the 7 levers will do to your Cash Flow? With this in mind, you now need to stress test your business. For example, what happens if: Revenue drops by 50% Collections blow out by 60 days Suppliers remove terms in order to supply You can use these simple scenarios to understand how far away from, or into, crisis you are. Crisis-proof your Management Team It has never been more important for your entire management team to understand your Cash Flow and the levers they can impact to minimize your risk. It is critical that everyone in your management team understand the stakes. |

Time out to rethink the future of humanity and the role we have in shaping it. Welcome to the human age! A place where those who put humans first and prioritise the mental health of our society will reap the rewards long term. But how?

Forced Family Fun (aka Quarantine) can be stressful and it can also help us redesign what life looks like with our family. The problem is how do we do that when our businesses are spinning, our kids are squawking during conference calls and we feel like there is no end in sight? In this 60-minute interactive session, learn from entrepreneurial couple Chelsea and Ryan Avery, and discover the strategies they use to manage their family and run their businesses together from home for the past eight years. It hasn´t always been easy but it also hasn´t been quarantine-level until recently.

In this session, you’ll learn: – Tangible ways to increase connection and decrease stress when your relationships are not built on being together 24/7 – Identifying what annoys you about your partner and turning it into something you love about them – How to remain positive as a family during turbulent times while managing all the complexities of unforeseen challenges that face our current and future business |

It can help you during a global pandemic, and any other time you can’t see into the future. A real decision requires action. Figuring out which action is “right” can be overwhelming, especially in complex, ambiguous, and changing situations. That can lead to inaction and misaction, which cause decreased revenues, results, and relationships. The Decision Skills Institute helps business leaders overcome and avoid all of that. We took 50 years of cutting-edge research, applied for decades at global corporations, and created a framework that empowers individuals to consistently make better decisions, leading to better results, faster. In this session, you’ll learn: |
