Description
When Business Doesn't Go According to Plan
A Practical Resilience Toolkit for Small Business Owners
Presented by: Matt Cremers, Med Mutual Protect
A key employee quits. You lose an important customer. Sales slow down or cash flow gets tight. A vendor or technology problem disrupts operations. A competitor or market change forces you to adjust.
Every business faces unexpected challenges. The key is recognizing potential problems early and knowing how to respond before they become bigger ones.
In this interactive seminar, you'll learn practical ways to move from reactive firefighting to more proactive decision-making. Through real-world business scenarios, discussion, and hands-on exercises, you'll learn how to:
- Spot potential trouble earlier by examining five critical areas of your business: People, Customers, Money, Operations, and Outside Forces.
- Make clearer decisions under pressure by separating facts from assumptions and emotion.
- Know when to stay the course and when it's time to adjust.
- Create a 90-Day Resilience Plan with specific actions you can take to strengthen your business.
You'll leave with practical tools you can use immediately, including the 5 Area Business Storm Scan, Fact vs. Story Decision Filter, and your own 90-Day Resilience Plan.
Who Should Attend: Small business owners, entrepreneurs, managers, and team leaders responsible for making decisions, leading employees, and keeping the business moving forward when things don't go according to plan.
