Surviving Economic Uncertainty
As ominous headlines about tough economic times continue to spread, business leaders are looking for ways not only to survive but to emerge more strongly when the clouds clear.
A number of factors are driving today’s uncertainty, including the subprime mortgage crisis, skittish banks, volatile currency and energy prices, and a flat employment outlook. As companies and consumers re-evaluate their priorities, enterprises that supply them face flattening demand for goods and services.
Forrester Research analyst Andrew Bartels says the downturn’s impact on a given company will be affected by its size, market sector, and geography.
“Small to midsized businesses have really taken the brunt of the slowdown, much more so than their Fortune 500 counterparts,” he says. “The banking, construction, auto, and retail sectors are hardest hit, while other sectors, such as natural resources, health care, education, and the federal government, are doing better.”
Bartels says when they pull back, most firms rein in spending first, as this is often the most obvious and immediate area of savings. Longer-term initiatives are often deprioritized as they may return savings a year or more out—too long for organizations focused on survival.
A company should not undervalue its investment in spending in its people as it is these people with the right skills and knowledge these people will be the resource that will ensure the company’s long term success. During times of economic downturn, businesses tend to respond to short-term crises with counter-productive defensive tactics that ultimately hurt the only sustainable competitive advantage they have their people.
