Oliver Wight Announces New Executive Seminar - Managing in an Economic Downturn: Survive Today and Prepare for the Future
New London, NH – January 22, 2009. Oliver Wight Americas, Inc., the education and consulting organization for manufacturing professionals, launches Managing in an Economic Downturn. “Managing in an Economic Downturn: Survive Today and Prepare for the Future,” is an intense, one-day seminar developed by Oliver Wight for chief executive officers and their direct reports. An economic downturn tests a leader’s skills and mettle. This seminar will introduce executives and their top-level associates to a management approach for succeeding during a poor business economy and how to plan to take advantage of a recovering economy. The management approach will emphasize critical thinking, scenario planning, and integration of business management planning and decision-making techniques.
Rick Burris, the seminar’s leader, explains; “Business executives struggling with dwindling sales and falling revenues during an economic downturn very often become obsessed with the day-to-day turmoil to the exclusion of everything else relating to company operations. Surviving until the market shows signs of growth is, of course, a major priority. However, the real future of the company is in its ability to lead the competition during the inevitable economic recovery.”
“Effectively focusing on today’s problems while also charting a business strategy to take advantage of future prosperity in the new growth economy will set a business apart from its competition.”
Plans for the course include Chicago for April 7, 2009, South San Francisco for June 16, 2009, and Chicago on September 22, 2009.
