May 16th at 10:30 am CST, we will have our second webinar of the series on Creating Action from Insight: How Benchmarking Data can Drive Decision Making and Empower your Company. Below, you will find information about the speakers for each of the three parts of this session. Contact information will be provided at the end of the session and there will also be room at the end for Q&A.
Session Summary:
As established producers of ethanol look for ways to grow production and improve profitability, they look increasingly toward new technologies that help them leverage their existing resources while evolving into new markets. Data resources such as benchmarks can help create more accurate, detailed financial modeling for these new projects, which in turn helps you set appropriate expectations and adjust forecasts and valuations on the fly more flexibly. We will discuss the best ways to incorporate data resources such as benchmarks into your decision process, and evaluate the key financial factors that come into play when determining which investments will deliver a positive return on investment for an individual plant.
