What do investors want? They actively pursue three key strategies: 1) improve profit (most over used strategy) 2) reduce investment (an under used strategy) 3) reduce risk (a much-neglected strategy) In this third of three sessions, see 3) above, we will explore strategies to reduce risk. When risks are exhibited on the income statement - it is too late.Risk is silent and insidious. We must plan, as we have seen what happens when risk becomes real and reduces net income. We will discuss proven techniques to help your organization plan for risk before the next miscalculation. Be prepared!
