Champion Round-Up | By Ged Cosgrove, group managing partner
If the past 10 to 15 years have taught us anything, it’s that uncertainty is the only certainty in business. From the 2008 banking crisis to a global pandemic, unexpected political shifts to ongoing supply chain disruption – the business landscape continues to be shaped by volatility.
In that time, we’ve worked alongside businesses that have risen to meet these challenges head-on, while sadly, we’ve also seen others struggle under the weight of the unexpected. The key difference? Resilience.
The businesses that weather the storm – and often find ways to grow through it – are the ones that have prepared for uncertainty. They’re the ones asking tough ‘what if’ questions well before the crisis hits, and answering them honestly. That kind of preparation builds shockproof operations, with contingency plans ready to activate, no matter the disruption.
So, how ready is your business for a worst-case scenario?
- What would happen if you lost your biggest client tomorrow?
- Do you have a clear plan in place for sudden regulatory change or new tariffs?
- Are your management accounts up to date and easy to access if you need to pivot quickly?
These aren’t scare tactics – they’re smart, proactive questions. And if you don’t know the answers, we’re here to help.
Get in touch with us today, and we’ll walk you through the ‘what ifs’ to ensure you’ve a solid plan long before you ever need to use it.
None of us can predict the future, but we can absolutely help you prepare for it. At Champion, we’ve supported clients through all kinds of economic storms, and we’ll be by your side for whatever comes next.
