Webinar: ‘Black swans’ and how to manage economic uncertainty – April 15

By The Robot Report Staff | April 3, 2020

Black swans and economic uncertaintyThe COVID-19 pandemic is an example of “black swans,” events that catch businesses and governments by surprise. However, good leadership can help organizations, industries, and countries become more resilient during crises. WTWH Media will host a webinar discussing how businesses can manage crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic on April 15, 2020.

In the webinar “Managing uncertainty: How to handle ‘black swans’ in the economy,” Alan Beaulieu, president of ITR Economics, will examine changes in macroeconomic forecasts. He will review the latest weekly retail sales data, stock market indicators, and the leading indicator dashboard.

What you can learn about responding to ‘black swans’

Unlike past economic downturns, the scope of damage is broader and is just beginning to be understood, according to Beaulieu. Free cash flow has taken a dramatic hit from the novel coronavirus and government responses.

During this webinar, attendees will learn about the following:

  • How to comprehend the potential depth of the “V” in black swans, and how that can help execute realistic plans
  • How get a better perspective on the scope of the COVID-19 crisis in human terms, which should help deflect some of the emotion away from decision-making
  • How to monitor the leading indicators in order to have greater confidence when planning for 2021
  • How to gain a sense of perspective for what everyone is going through
  • Remembering that this black swan situation is serious, but it can be managed
  • Why the downturn may not last as long as some observers have said
