About this event
The Working Capital Risk & Resilience 2026 research identifies persistent gaps in visibility, integration, funding resilience and organizational adoption. But the findings raise a bigger question: What should organizations do next?
Join GSCF and The Working Capital Forum for a live discussion featuring perspectives from the corporate and bank perspectives on what best practice looks like, and how organizations can move from managing individual programs toward a more connected, portfolio-level approach. By registering, you'll also be among the first to have early access to The Working Capital Risk & Resilience Report.
We'll discuss:
- What separates organizations with mature working capital practices from those still managing in silos
- How leading corporates are building portfolio-level visibility across programs, funders and counterparties
- What banks look for and what they can't see when data is fragmented or delayed
- How alternative capital providers are changing the funding resilience equation
- Where integration and automation are closing the gap, and where they aren't
- The practical steps organizations can take to reduce funding concentration and strengthen resilience.
