When entrepreneurs wear many hats and are crunched for time, they work ‘in’ the business rather than ‘on’ the business. Practices around advanced planning, cultivating long-term business strategies, and investing in growth are often relegated to the “I’ll get to it soon” list in order to focus on day-to-day operations. But during an economic downturn, this long-term thinking and planning have been known to make all the difference between a business’s success or demise.

It’s crucial for business owners and managers to prepare their organizations for the next recession, whenever it comes. But what are some key ways businesses can prepare?

At OEN’s September PubTalk, our panelists are regional business leaders who have lived through (and survived) an economic downturn. Find out their advice on how to navigate down markets while scaling and raising capital and what tips and tricks you can use to survive and thrive.

Where: Fresh Consulting, 811 SE Stark St., #300

When: Wednesday, September 13, 5:15 – 7:30 p.m.
