The Old Economic Playbook is Broken…

2026 will punish the reactive. Equip yourself with the foresight to lead through the volatility.

For over thirty years, business relied on cheap capital, stable demographics, and predictable growth. That world is gone.

We are entering a new era defined by structural labor shortages, AI disruption, and sticky inflation. The assumptions underpinning your current 5-year plan and 2026 budget are likely wrong.

EQ Workshops don’t just report the news; we decode the signal. Whether you are an Executive needing a defense strategy for the Board, or a Finance Manager needing accurate forecasting inputs, we provide the clarity you need to navigate the transition.

One Economic Storm. Two Lines of Defense.

The challenges of 2026 look very different from the Boardroom than they do from the Finance Desk. Select the briefing engineered for your specific level of accountability.

The Executive Workshop

The Boardroom Defence

For C-Suite, Board Directors, Business Owners & Partners

The Imperative: You are responsible for the 3-5 year horizon. Your greatest risk isn’t a budget variance; it is strategic obsolescence.

We are entering an era of structural upheaval – demographic reversals, AI integration, and capital scarcity. If your current strategic plan relies on the assumptions of the last decade, you are exposing your organisation to existential risk. You need to know how to pivot before the market forces you to.

Why You Must Attend

Define the Narrative: Leave with the intellectual ammunition to defend your strategy to the Board and shareholders against the coming volatility.

Peer Benchmarking: A confidential, closed-door forum limited to 20 decision-makers. Calibrate your strategy against fellow C-Suite leaders facing the same high-stakes volatility, ensuring your plans are robust before they reach the Board.

Strategic Insurance: Includes a post-workshop 1-on-1 Consultation with Warren Hogan to apply these macro forces directly to your specific sector risk.

Logistics

Focus: Strategic Direction & Governance

Format: Full Day Immersion (8am – 6pm)

Venue: Premium Boardroom & Dining

Investment: $1,950

Exclusive: Strictly limited to 20 seats per session

The Business Workshop

The Operational Shield

For Finance Managers, FP&A Leaders, Treasurers & Commercial Teams

The Imperative: You are the guardian of the 12-month tactical window. Your greatest risk is operational blindness.

If interest rates, wages, or input costs spike in the next year, your current forecasts will fail. You cannot afford to “guess” these inputs or rely on generic media reports. You need precise, actionable data to bulletproof the P&L and ensure liquidity when the cycle turns.

Why You Must Attend

Forecasting Precision: Don’t leave your budget to chance. Get the concrete data ranges for inflation, wages, and interest rates to plug directly into your 2026 models.

Risk Identification: We provide a tactical checklist of operational “gotchas”—from supply chain costs to credit availability—so you can mitigate them before they hit the bottom line.

Career Velocity: Move beyond simple reporting. Gain the economic toolkit to explain why the numbers are moving to your CFO and CEO with authority.

Logistics

Focus: Tactics, Budgeting & Risk Tools

Format: High-Impact Tactical Session (8:30am – 3pm)

Venue: Professional Workshop Setting

Investment: $950

Exclusive: Capacity limited to 40 participants

The three big secular forces

Demographic change, supercomputing and AI, and the rising importance of the natural environment in economic decision making.

How the new landscape reshapes business decisions

What it means for workforce management, customer strategies, capital allocation, investment and operational risk.

Leading in a more volatile, uncertain environment

Why the old playbook is less effective, and how to use data, technology and analysis to avoid being blindsided (explored in greater depth in the Executive Workshop).

Australia to 2030: paths, not predictions

The EQ Economics view of the outlook, how it differs from consensus, and the different pathways policy and politics could force you into planning for.
