ACG NJ Princeton Event, October 15, 2015

Companies today are faced with more and faster change than ever before. Challenged as they attempt to deal with increased complexities and choices in the environment in which they compete.

In times of disruptive change, with opportunities such as consolidation, increased competition, new technologies or decreased loyalty, standing still is not an option and the principles of managing the challenges of running a business no longer apply. Business owners need to think and act differently, and be prepared to react quickly to changes.

A company’s anticipation and response to accelerating change will determine whether it is a beneficiary or victim of the underlying disruption.

Alan Scharfstein will lead a discussion on how to be one of the winners in this time of disruptive change.

Participants will learn strategies to manage risk and hedge against the unknown, how to identify the "hidden" value within their companies, and how mergers and acquisitions can be used to promote positive change to stay ahead of the competition. You will leave feeling better equipped to not only protect your company but maximize its value in the current environment.
