Presentation Title: Tightening Your Belt: Building a Thriving Business in
Challenging Times

Speaker Name: Nicole Derr

Presentation Description:
It’s tough out there. Tariffs, inflation, extreme weather, and more are all coalescing
to make it harder and harder to turn a profit. You already know that times like these
call for careful consideration of our spending habits. But what if I told you that
conventional system optimization models and budgeting approaches might no
longer be enough? In this talk, we’ll discuss how a more strategic, people-first
approach can result in the type of resiliency needed to weather any storm the
economy can throw our way.
