Much has been written over the last 12 months about the state of the Australian economy: from celebrating the fact that we managed to largely escape the downturn that is currently causing havoc across Europe and the US, through to dire warnings of an imminent collapse and an intense scrutiny of inflation and interest rates.
The reality is that we are experiencing some of the most unpredictable economic conditions we have ever encountered. The new economic environment is uncertain and much more fluid and, it would appear, things could stay this way for quite some time.
What can be done to survive the changing market conditions? For some businesses economic uncertainty has forced them to re-think their practices, which has actually created new opportunities. In fact, they are not only surviving, but thriving under the new conditions!
Join us at the next Coleman Greig Family Business Australia event to find out how you can leverage the opportunities presented by a fluid market, and thrive under the new economic conditions.
To start the session Brett Campbell from Deloitte Private Advisory, one of Australia’s leading providers of business consulting to the SME market, will deliver an overview of innovative trends in profitability improvement for SMEs.
Coleman Greig Principal and accredited Family Business Advisor, Paul Lucas will then facilitate a panel discussion featuring two businesses who have successfully adapted their strategies and practices to meet the changing needs of the market. Paul will explore the secret to their success of continued growth in these challenging times.
Key topics for discussion will include:
-
What have been the greatest challenges facing each business in recent times?
-
What innovative steps have been taken to protect the business in the changing environment?
-
How have they had to change their practices to remain competitive?
-
What do they anticipate moving forward?
Audience members will also have the chance to participate in a Q&A session with panel members Greg Simon of Nulon Oils and Glenn Fordham of the TRN Group to discuss the issues they are currently facing.
