Description:
We are all planning in a time of immense uncertainty. As finance managers we need to start with the questions so we can serve in our roles with clarity. What do we need to understand about our organization’s business right now? What are the milestones that help guide us, and when should we know them? How do we prioritize our activities and develop a realistic business plan (or budget) given all the uncertainty brought on by the pandemic? What is necessary for our organization to ‘become whole’ after COVID-19? Join us for an hour that combines tips, tools and conversation to help us navigate our unique times and develop scenario plans and forecast accordingly.
