Turbulent Market Strategy
Managing through unstable economic periods is difficult.
There are three main challenges to face:
-
Streamline the business without unnecessary cutting.
Too many companies jump at the chance to fire people left, right and
centre when things get tough. This can result in a hollowed out
firm. Leaders need to assess the value of its intellectual capital
and reduce the number of assets with the least potential for return.
-
Protect and invest in the most valuable employees,
customer relationships ad industry innovations.
-
Continue to provide leadership and vision. Ensure
every employee has the tools to implement that vision
All these challenges are met by investing in the
information capital of the company.
