Leading with clarity through disruption impacting staff, supply chains, and financial stability
About this Event

Amongst the current global instability, businesses are having to carefully consider their approaches to managing and communicating with staff, customers and suppliers, often while managing supply chain disruption and or pressure on cashflow and working capital.

While most businesses will have already worked through an initial response, this forum brings organisations together to explore what a stage two response might look like given the expected long tail of impacts on fuel prices, supply chain pressures and continued uncertainty in global markets.

This two‑hour, focused session is designed to provide businesses with expert guidance on legal risk, staff management and communication, and financial tools to help plan ahead and execute responses confidently and effectively, while also creating a platform to share learnings and ideas as you navigate the ongoing impacts of uncertainty in the Middle East.

This session will support you by:

  • Sharing expert insights on managing employment, recruitment, and workforce pressures
  • Exploring practical approaches to supply chain disruption and customer communication
  • Discussing strategies to protect cashflow while maintaining relationships
  • Creating a forum for businesses to share challenges, concerns, and emerging issues
  • Expert panel discussion w Facilitated audience discussion and Q&A
  • Practical takeaways businesses can apply immediately
