Forvis Mazars Executive Masterclass: From Crisis to Competitive Advantage

Preparing for crisis. Strengthening resilience. Creating value.

In times of heightened uncertainty, an economic crisis is no longer a question of if, but when and how it will impact business operations. The Forvis Mazars Executive Masterclass was designed as a practical training programme for leaders who want to proactively understand risks, objectively assess their company’s resilience, and make decisions that strengthen business stability and long-term value.

The value of the Executive Masterclass workshop

Through practical analytical tools, case studies, and interactive work, participants will:

• assess the resilience of their own business model
• understand key financial and operational risks
• define clear actions to strengthen cash flow and profitability
• view crisis as an opportunity for creating added value
• learn how to turn the impact of AI and technology to their advantage

The focus of the programme is on decisions that leaders can apply immediately, without theoretical debates or abstract recommendations.

Key programme topics

• Is an economic crisis coming? Indicators, scenarios, and probabilities
• How to measure a company’s resilience and its ability to survive

• Value creation: how crisis preparedness increases company value
• Cash is King: strengthening financial resilience and managing cash flow
