Summary
This week on TrendsTalk, ITR Economist and Speaker Taylor St. Germain is joined by Economist and Consultant Speaker Derek Stanley to discuss how businesses should prepare for the economic realities of the 2030s. While growth opportunities remain strong over the next four years, relying on linear planning could leave companies exposed when conditions shift. In this episode, we break down the importance of cash flow management, debt reduction, resilient industries, and geographic strategy as businesses position themselves for long-term success. Which industries may hold up better during the next major downturn? And what steps should leaders be taking today to protect their companies tomorrow? đŸ”— Register here for our webinar "Winning US States for the 2030s" → https://hubs.ly/Q04dnhxM0
