Staying in front of the business cycle is essential in today's competitive marketplace.

Let us begin with what is most important to you. Knowing where economy is headed allows you to make smarter, more confident decisions. Yet corporate leaders and money managers have to navigate through a minefield of unprecedented global hazards.

The destructive shocks of the past four years -- the pandemic, Russia's war in Ukraine, global supply chain disruptions, China's post-Covid economic struggles, and the explosive violence in the Middle East -- are dramatically transforming the economic and geopolitical order. In addition, there's new leadership in Washington, which raises fresh questions about future tax, tariff and immigration policies. Their collective impact will be profound! No industry will be untouched by all the changes taking place. Every firm, regardless of size, is now experimenting, exploring and testing out novel strategies to see how they can function effectively and profitably in this new -- and still evolving -- business landscape. But it is no easy task. We live in a crisis-prone world economy.

So how do you manage a company and use its resources productively in a world that is increasingly buffeted by economic, political and military shocks?

The Economic Outlook Group

This is where The Economic Outlook Group can help. Our firm has an established track for correctly anticipating turning points in the economy. The Wall Street Journal ranked Bernard Baumohl, our chief economist, the most accurate forecaster in a major survey taken in 2019. Bernard and our forecast team continue to stay ahead of the business curve, thanks to our forward-looking economic model, and by monitoring in real time the rapidly changing geopolitical dynamics around the world. Our aim is to advise clients not just on the health and path of the economy, but to identify emerging threats that can potentially imperil their production, sales, disrupt supply chains and destabilize capital markets. In essence, we assess the risks and opportunities ahead.

How can we help?

The Economic Outlook Group offers two key services:

(1) KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Our key mission is to provide corporate leaders, trade associations and government policymakers with an accurate and non-partisan assessment on the direction of the U.S. and international economy, along with the latest evaluation of the most serious economic and geopolitical hazards that may threaten business activity. By better anticipating these market-moving events, decision makers can manage their operations more successfully. Who are our clients? They include those in manufacturing, leisure and hospitality, retail, foreign trade, supply chain management, marketing, real estate, and Chamber of Commerce organizations around the country.

If you would like Bernard Baumohl to speak on the economic and geopolitical outlook at your next event, please call us or e-mail Lisa Compton at: lcompton@EconomicOutlookGroup.com

(2) ECONOMIC INTELLIGENCE SEMINARS: We believe everyone should be proficient at using economic data to assess current business conditions and glean important clues about future trends. Our private seminars teach attendees how to locate and analyze the most important leading economic indicators, and then utilize this rich source of information to make sound business judgements. The insights gained help corporate managers make smarter decisions on asset allocation, pricing, consumer demand, hiring needs, capital expenditures, advertising and foreign trade. We are also licensed to provide CPE credits for this course.

These seminars are customized to suit the time constraints and location of each client. Please see our section on Seminars for additional details.
