Getting the basics right

As "downturn" turns to recession or worse, few businesses will be able to continue using a "business as usual" strategy. Customer buying habits are changing. The ability of some customers to pay on time, or at all, is changing. As headline inflation decreases, some basic office costs such as paper continue to rise. Current exchange rates have had a significant impact on many prices.

Recession planning

• Where does this leave your business?
• What changes are you making now?
• What changes do you need to make?

Every company should be looking to adapt to new realities. Sensible companies should be looking for new opportunities to reduce costs, control expenditure and develop new markets. We are. Are you?
