Rarely have top financial executives had to confront a seemingly never-ending period of serious threats to their businesses, many influenced by outside events not under their control.

The bad news is this era of permacrisis is unlikely to dissipate anytime soon. The good news is top finance teams can institute a series of measures that will help mitigate the impact of these acute risks to company profits and revenues.

But leading executives cannot afford to procrastinate. Delay can mean your company can be taken off guard.  Tune in to this extremely timely webinar to glean these essential takeaways and take action now:

• Make sure your management team is on top of all risk-related developments. Many are equipped to deal with natural and internal crises, but you need to ensure they have the right personnel, tools and resources on their teams to manage external crises.
• Expand scenario and contingency planning. Put your team through a host of “what if” exercises. How will the company respond. Involve all key departments, not just risk management.
• Finalize a plan or plans but be flexible. It is not enough to discuss what may happen. It is vital that a concrete series of actions is set down, reviewed, and approved. Know that new kinds of crises can emerge so make sure to amend your plan when necessary.
• Promote collaboration and team building. In this time of remote work, it is vital that any group that could be affected by a crisis is briefed on what may occur, who needs to be contacted and how all facets of the company should respond.
