The value of a Pre-emptive strike

The current economic data point to the fact that the coming months will produce difficult challenges for all. As domestic budgets are ever more squeezed this will impact on businesses across the board.
This is an appropriate time to conduct a top to tail analysis of your business. Undoubtedly there are areas which would benefit from some radical adjustments/ change of direction. The consequence is not acting now could have very negative effects in the next few months.
Now is the opportunity to prepare for difficult times rather than adopting an ostrich "head in the sand" attitude.
When trying to explain a disastrous strategy to your Shareholders or Bankers it will be of little comfort to trot out the tired old defence “it seemed like a good idea at the time”.
