Most of us have made the initial tough decisions to keep our businesses fit and 'prepared' for the recession (personnel changes, projects put on hold/cancelled, clients changing their behaviour, price/product changes).


Heading towards the Summer Holidays, there will be time to reflect on the last six months and the coming six months. There seem to be two ways that clients are going, either 'stepping up to', or 'stepping down from' the challenge of growing in a recession.

Either way, it is time to make tough decisions - and the longer you/we avoid them then the longer it will take to get on the road to recovery. The Blog Thread
