NAVIGATING ECONOMIC VOLATILITY: PRACTICAL STRATEGIES FOR BUSINESS LEADERS

Keynote Topics

SUMMARY

Recent tariff and counter-tariff announcements have created a wave of uncertainty for business owners—particularly those with direct or indirect ties to U.S. customers and supply chains. Many leaders are now facing heightened volatility, supply risks, and the need to adapt quickly.

During the pandemic, Matt and his team at Symplicity Designs helped over 1,800 businesses stabilize and grow amidst disruption using their Chaos Playbook—a strategic framework designed to support leadership through crisis. Today, that playbook has been updated and supercharged with AI to help businesses navigate this next wave of uncertainty.

This isn’t about politics—it’s about giving business leaders the tools, insights, and confidence to make smart, informed decisions in the face of change.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Big corporations have long had access to scenario planning and predictive models—but now, AI is leveling the playing field for small and mid-sized businesses. If you know how to use it, AI can help you rethink and future-proof your business model:

Customer Mix: Diversify and reduce dependency
Procurement Strategy: Secure supply and build resilience
Strategic Partnerships: Align with those designed to weather volatility

This is wartime strategy for businesses navigating exposure to the U.S. market—and it’s essential now more than ever.  Each session is designed to equip business leaders with immediate, actionable insight.
