Economic uncertainty challenges even the strongest organizations. The US macroeconomy – as measured by the US Industrial Production Index – is expected to trend relatively flat in 2027, and some markets will outright contract. During periods of slower growth, stagnation, or even contraction, it is critical that business leaders understand both the factors that are driving the business cycle change and the sector-specific fundamentals. Facing the dual challenges of cooling demand and persistent margin compression, firms must reassess the assumptions that have guided their planning over recent years. Understanding business cycle dynamics and industry-specific drivers will help leaders identify emerging risks and opportunities.

In this session, we will discuss the key macroeconomic drivers that will shape the business environment throughout 2027 and beyond. Expect particular emphasis on the factors with the greatest impact on organizational decision-making, including inflation, interest rates, labor availability, productivity, consumer and business demand, and geopolitical developments. We will explore the implications of these trends for cost structures, pricing strategy, workforce planning, capital allocation, and the ongoing challenge of achieving profitable growth and avoiding profitless prosperity – the scenario in which top-line sales grow but profits shrink.

ITR Economics has a long and proven track record of helping business leaders anticipate market shifts before they occur. Our forecasting expertise equips decision-makers with the forward-looking insights they need to navigate uncertainty, capitalize on emerging opportunities, and make confident strategic decisions. We are here to help businesses position themselves for resilience, agility, and success, no matter what economic conditions lie ahead.

Join us in Scottsdale for this impactful session!
