A new stable UK government with an ambitious legislative programme. How has the external risk profile changed since December's general election result? The landscape has altered but business leaders continue to grapple with ambiguity and face complexity in anticipating and understanding external risks and how to mitigate them. Without a review of all potential sources of external risk, some may get overlooked, exacerbating the challenges facing business.
Armed with the CBI’s latest intelligence and access to government insights, you will leave this workshop with the knowledge needed to identify external risks, adapt your business plans to the changing environment, and make better, evidence-based decisions. This workshop will help you understand what the impacts are likely to be, and enable you to mitigate the risks, and identify the opportunities presented, through an open and frank discussion with experts and peers.
Having attended this workshop, delegates will:
- Gain insight into the current external environment, risks and opportunities
- Understand how to apply knowledge using analysis tools (e.g. PESTLE)
- Use outputs to inform strategic business plans, forecasting and reporting for external audit
- Develop the perspective to look at converting unknowns into opportunities.
