MANAGING YOUR BUSINESS IN AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN

Wednesday 8 October
11:40-12:25


Moderator:

Mike Monk, Head of Financial Services, ABTA Ltd

Speaker:
Dr Shai Vyakarnam, Director, Transitions


When the company is in good shape and you are enjoying growth, all you need to do is hold on to the tiger by the tail. But as market conditions change you need to find ways to manage through stormy weather. Dr Shai Vyakarnam of Transitions has identified 5 key themes to help you to manage effectively when times are tough.

• What are the key drivers of cost in your business—understanding the external factors?

• Bad habits and costs unrelated to adding value to your  customers—what are they and why have you got them?

• Understanding of fixed and variable costs and where you can make changes without damaging your business

• Getting a grip on margins—the impact of good/bad customers

• A really hard focus on retaining customers — it leads to sales and cash,
cash, cash…
