Strategy
Are you choosing to participate in the economic downturn?
I heard a funny story the other day that really reflects some of the thinking that we are afraid to admit to during these uncertain economic times. It is a story about a manufacturing company whose senior executives were looking for ways to cut costs. A cost analysis of the organization undertaken by an external consultant had shown that if they were to shut down two of their manufacturing plants, they would be able to save a significant amount of money.
