When faced with economic uncertainty the natural tendency is to batten-down the hatches, reign in spending, and even cut back where possible. But the organizations that use this as an opportunity to revisit their processes, invest in technology and upskill their employee base are often the ones who prosper the most. As John F. Kennedy said, "When written in Chinese, the word crisis is composed of two characters -- one represents danger, and the other represents opportunity." 
 
In this discussion, Unit4’s Bryce Wolf and Shawn Windle from ERP Advisors Group are joining forces to discuss why an economic downturn is the perfect time to invest in your processes, technology, and people. They’ll be sharing their insights and experience of working with numerous mid-sized professional service firms, and how those firms managed to grow their revenues during previous economic slowdowns. 
 
 
Join them to hear:
 
- Why companies stop spending, even when macroeconomics aren’t a factor
- What the long-term impacts of cutting back on investment in people, processes, and technology in a downturn can be
- The impact of cost cutting on employee morale
- How organizations can continue to retain - and even attract - the best talent during tough economic times

How to Build a Value Prop & Business Case for Successful ERP Transformation

The focus for every CFO is to both make and manage the money. With over 140 KPIs to track, CFOs and finance leaders are in a unique position to guide Professional Service firms to greater revenues and profitability. This session will help identify the KPIs that make the real difference and give you the opportunity to see how you compare with some of the leading service-based firms and learn from their success.

We will take a deep dive into the SPI Maturity Benchmark research, which looks at the differentiators between leading performing firms vs the laggards. This session focuses on the money, and using the data and insights garnered from the research, Mark and Dave cover the challenges facing CFOs today. They consider what tools are at your disposal to overcome these challenges and which of the 140 KPIs and approaches leading firms adopt that give them a competitive edge and higher profit margins.

Key Challenges: 
· Inflation, a declining labour market, increased turnover, and cost of labor are all creating downward pressure on profitability, which CFOs are being asked to manage to protect EBITDA. 
· With over 140 KPIs CFOs have a lot of data available, but which ones make the real difference? 
· Why overachieving your goals can actually deliver adverse results for profitability and revenue. 

Audience Takeaways: 
Services Performance Insight have produced their Maturity Benchmark Report over the past 15 years. With this depth of knowledge, they have mapped out what the best-performing service-based firms do differently. Dave Hofferberth will share that knowledge, showing you which KPIs to focus on to improve profitability and the data you need to support your recommendations to the CEO when assessing the future focus for your organization. And using the data presented you can compare yourself against your peers, to see what, if needed, the action you can take to improve staffing, revenue, and profitability.

How to utilize technology to overcome the challenges facing professional services firms in a climate of continued upheaval.

A blueprint for professional services success in the never normal

In a world of irrelevant budgets and inaccurate forecasts, scenario management has a vital role to play. Traditional planning approaches, which account for a single possible future, are no longer viable in a world dominated by uncertainty.
Instead, organizations must face the prospect of multiple futures, driven by an ever-changing business environment, beset by unpredictable events. It is only by adopting a fast and agile scenario management process that organizations can steer their way towards achieving their short- and long-term goals.
Organizations that implement scenario management framework are in a much better position to handle uncertainty.

Watch this webinar to look at the examples and key success factors for scenario management implementation.

Check out this webinar to learn how midmarket firms are responding to a shrinking talent market – and emerging stronger from the change, what drives the paradoxical rise in employee attrition as firms become more mature, and how information visibility impacts employee experience.

The Talent Imperative

According to recent research commissioned by Unit4, professional services (PS) specialists across Europe are experiencing lower than expected growth due to battling the perfect storm of skilled staff shortages combined with legacy IT systems.

The ‘Professional Services in Europe: a Benchmark for 2022’ found that despite increased customer demand for professional services, PS firms themselves are struggling to innovate and keep pace with the demand due to being hampered by the scarcity of talent and the often behemoth nature of legacy IT infrastructure. 

However, all is not lost. In this discussion, Nick Mayes, Principal Analyst at PAC and Matt Sinnott, Sales Director UK&I at Unit4, are sharing how leaders in the professional services industry can navigate and overcome the latest trends and challenges they’re facing, and ensure they’re poised for innovation and agility.

Join them to learn:

- The talent and tech trends and challenges influencing the PS sector
- The importance of Employee Experience and strategies PS organisations can adopt for attracting and retaining their top talent and reducing employee attrition
- How to evolve and optimise internal systems and processes for a sustainable and innovative, yet growth-oriented, future
- Why rapid M&A and effective onboarding of acquisitions is crucial to achieving growth aspirations
- And more

Cash Flow Management is both an art and a science. It is also difficult to master. Traditionally, FP&A teams have been more focused on Profit and Loss accounts. However, in high uncertainty, FP&A's need to develop a "Cash Flow" Mindset. So what does this involve?
