Brexit Thought Leadership - In Company Workshop
Brexit Thought Leadership – In Company Workshop
Our Brexit in company workshop is unfortunately not available as an open course, but for group company bookings, can be tailored and delivered to specific business needs.
The British exit of the European Union is the most significant economic demerger of major economies since the Second World War. Both the UK and the EU will be significantly changed by what is about to unfold.
With the transition to the second stage of Brexit negotiations, discussions at our event will focus on trade arrangements within the UK’s exit agreement, as well as transitional arrangements.
Our team of experts will provide you with a two-hour ‘thought leadership’ session and a 1 day facilitated workshop, to analyse and examine the implications on existing trade relations with both EU member states and the wider world market. These workshops are designed to prepare you for the medium and long-term effects which may be generated from the Brexit negotiation outcomes. Delegates will be aided in this process by means of a checklist of practical steps designed to anticipate changes and take advantage of opportunities.
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Understand what Brexit means
- Understand the implications of and how to prepare for different Brexit outcomes
- Anticipate potential disruption to their supply chains and take appropriate actions.
