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 Organizational Resilience During an Economic Downturn

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. 

However, this abundance of KPI data can easily overwhelm—after all, how can you tell which data points will make the real difference in running a profitable financial services firm? 

This uncertainty accompanies inflation, a declining labour market, and increased turnover and cost of labor—all of which create downward pressure on profitability and burden today’s financial leaders.

To alleviate this pressure, tune into this session to learn which of the 140 KPIs leading financial firms adopt to gain a competitive edge and higher profit margins. Additionally, we’ll focus on recent SPI Maturity Benchmark research, which looks at the differentiators between leading performing firms vs. the laggards.

Spotlight on Financial KPIs that Improve Revenue & Profitability

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.

• Guillaume Rachline, Vice President Finance - Merchandising, E-Commerce & New Business at Walmart, Toronto FP&A Board member

Navigating Uncertainty with FP&A Scenario Management

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?
