The COVID-19 pandemic has put our society and economy under extreme duress. During these difficult times, it is important to work together, share information and best practices. AmCham's new webinar series brings you experts from various filds every week to talk about the most pressing challenges we face at the moment.

About the webinar:

For companies, the biggest consequence of the epidemic is that the enterprises should adapt to the structural changes quickly and should be flexible in response to market signals and uncertainty. Apart from the increasing financial risks, the unexpected impacts must be also considered to be the key elements of the re-planning and of the future new business model. During the webinar, we focus on the potential risks (market, credit, liquidity) and provide techniques to minimize the costs of risks. We also address some fundamental building blocks of organizational resilience.
