Turbulent Market Strategy

Managing through unstable economic periods is difficult. There are three main challenges to face:

  1. 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.

  2. Protect and invest in the most valuable employees, customer relationships ad industry innovations.

  3. 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.
