»Webinar: Flatten the Curve: Then What?»

Flatten the curve. Then what? No one can really predict what happens next, while uncertainty and the competing demands of health and the economy make planning challenging.

This webinar considers the importance of goal clarity. A clear goal can simplify decision making, unite us in our planning and spur innovation. In the next instalment of The Day After Tomorrow series of dialogues, we delve into planning for the long haul while hoping for a vaccine. While the Government plays a fundamental role in testing, contact tracing and isolation, how are firms planning for the future of their operations?

Join our guest speaker, Gilbert Kohnke, Chief Risk Officer at Malayan Bank BHD, and Anella Munro, ASB Prof of Economics – in an informative and thought-provoking session moderated by Rhoda Yap, ASB Chief Operating Officer. The goal of this webinar is to stimulate ideas and offer different perspectives on planning for the next steps.
