vcfo Thought Leadership Webinar, Part II

How should businesses respond to broad cyclical changes to our economy and society as we move from a season of crisis to a possible season of "high"? Could your company find itself on the wrong side of history's creative destruction loop and black swan events? After 2020, is there any way to truly be proactive about risk?

Please join Ashford Chancelor, Dallas Practice Manager and Consulting CFO, and James Savage, President & CEO at Kingsbrae Global, for part two of our virtual Thought Leadership Series - The Evolving National Crisis and its Business Impact. This webinar will be a deep dive into the characteristics of each historical season, as well as business risk, corporate management, and financial preparedness. Attendees will walk through the tangible steps that businesses can take for a clear-eyed, actionable approach to future risk in the context of sweeping macro and micro forces.
