Strengthening Your Business During a State of Flux
This webinar was recorded on October, 15th 2008
If flux is defined as a state of uncertainty, instability and change, we are certainly in the middle of it. As minority CEOs, we must develop and execute strategies that not only enable our businesses to survive during a state of flux, but to become stronger. Let’s hope that the old saying “If it doesn’t kill you it will make your stronger” also applies to emerging minority businesses.
During our 29 years in business, RGMA has provided over 1200 one-on-one engagements to minority and women owned businesses, including over 75 8(a) companies. During that time we have crafted some of the best practices for growing minority businesses including designing the blueprint for how the federal government should service emerging minority businesses. We will dig deep into our tool kit to create a lively, fast-paced session designed to provide minority CEOs a roadmap for strengthening their businesses despite the turmoil in the marketplace. During this hour we will address the following topics:
- The Big Picture: The Financial Outlook for Minority Corporate Suppliers
- A Look in the Mirror: Conducting a Candid Assessment of Your Current State
- A New Game Plan: Updating Your Core Strategies
- Make it Happen: Executing Your Plan
