Join Ryan as he shares his insights in the CPE-accredited, on-demand video, Navigating Uncertain Times, at PlanToGrow.com, a digital learning platform for business leaders and finance and operations professionals. 

Drawing on real-life examples, Ryan recounts how data analysis and quickly pivoting plans prepared the Arizona Cardinals and Starbucks to overcome challenges of economic uncertainty. Among his lessons and takeaways, Ryan uncovers what every company should consider today to plan for the long-term success of its business and talent, including:

• The "new normal" global business landscape affecting businesses worldwide.
• The heightened role of company-wide transparency, two-way communication and data interpretation in charting the best path forward for your company.
• The difference between being cautious and being proactive, and how the difference lies in anticipating uncertainties and making the complicated simple.
• How digital workforce, data integration, financial reporting and other technologies will help you remain agile and nimble in the face of uncertainty.
• The need to invest in the mental health and wellness of your team as your business's most valuable resource.

"When you're proactive during uncertainty, you can actually accelerate the transformation of your business."
