What a great time to "shake things up" with a goal to come out the other side of the recession in better shape! A medium-term view requires bold plans for investment in the right talent mix now and over the next 3 years, revisiting your business model and making radical change if necessary, planning with your advisors and Board to aggressively grow market share, shining a bright spotlight on a range of success metrics, and a reappraisal of all business systems and processes. Recessions paralyse the fearful - and allow the bold to gain competitive advantage.
