18th September, 2008 - Great Hall, ICAEW, London

Aimed at senior financial managers, this event will help organisations change the way they operate in order to profit from a descending economy – or at least to survive.

• Using practical examples, well-known financier and venture capitalist, Jon Moulton, will discuss the essentials of exploiting weak competition and suppliers, cash control and setting the right pace of action
  
  
• Performance Management expert Gary Simon will outline how strategy is affected in a downturn, the importance of forecasting and understanding how costs are incurred and controlled in the business
  
  
• Two well known organisations will discuss how they have optimised their processes and systems to maximise competitive advantage, allowing them to head into the current economic climate with certainty and confidence
  

There will be an opportunity to ask the panel questions, to seek practical advice from the experts and see if your organisation is in a position to move ahead.

A CPD evidence of attendance certificate will be provided to all those attendees who would like this seminar to count towards their Continual Professional Development.
