Working Capital Management: Effective Policies and Techniques

Learn effective techniques for managing working capital in your business.

In the current economic environment, many companies are facing the perfect storm of pressures on the ability to operate, such as inflation, increasing interest rates, surging costs, supply chain disruptions, and soaring logistics costs. These factors and many more are putting increased pressure on debt covenants and preventing businesses from investing in strategic initiatives. This presentation will help leaders understand why organizations that focus on strong operational behavior are better prepared to embrace challenges and be more resilient. The panel of speakers will identify key pillars of how to build strong cash management capabilities and what areas can be targeted within the organization for cash flow improvement. This topic is critical for companies that are focused on improving their financial health and resiliency by making a sustainable shift to address cash and cost pressures within their own operations.
