It is to build a resilient business that can generate cash during strong conditions, respond intelligently when the market changes and avoid dragging the founder back into constant firefighting.You’ll discover:Why business owners need to look beyond current performanceHow external trends can affect an otherwise healthy companyWhy preparing for a downturn should not prevent you from exploiting a strong marketHow to distinguish internal strengths and weaknesses from external trendsWhy cash reserves create options during difficult periodsHow downturns can produce acquisition opportunitiesWhy resilience matters when scaling a businessThe questions every leadership team should ask about future risksIf your business can only succeed during favourable conditions, it is not genuinely resilient.
