Michael Fingland explains the vital role that stress testing can play for businesses in an economy "teetering on the edge of recession".
In this latest episode, Vantage Performance chief executive Michael Fingland gives a rundown on the concept of stress testing and how businesses can utilise this strategy to prepare for further headwinds in the year ahead.
Fingland explains that with consumer spending pulling back and the economy softening, businesses should be analysing what outcomes might arise with a dip in cash flow, a drop in revenue or with other, more specific, challenges.
Businesses can then put in a place a "rapid-fire turnaround plan" that can be implemented if any of these scenarios happen, he says.
He also provides his predictions on business conditions for the remainder of 2024 and what the main challenges will be.
