The US macro economy is traversing the back side of the business cycle while several industrial sectors are going through a mild recession. Aggressive interest rate policy decisions by the Fed mostly stamped out inflation, but they also stifled capital investment and borrowing costs. Despite a resilient labor market, cracks are visible in the armor of US consumers, with delinquency rates for credit cards and auto loans flashing warning signs. However, leading indicators are pointing to acceleration by the time we get to 2025. What does all this mean for your business? This presentation will deliver practical and actionable advice designed to help business leaders plan for future economic conditions and continuously improve their organization’s strategic planning initiatives.

Attendees will walk away from the session with the following insights:

• Time-sensitive economic events of public concern such as inflation, interest rates, labor market conditions, consumer spending, business investment and industrial activity
• Tools that company leadership can use to become better data-driven decision makers in running their businesses

After this presentation, you may never look at a resistance weld the same way again.
