How Are You Spending Your RECESSION – Vacation?

Time for Action?

Some firms are hunkering down to wait out the upcoming recession. Others are making use of the waiting time by fine-tuning their organization. Most are conserving their capital. However, it could be a good time to drive your future innovations. Resourcing has always been a major issue for firms with more to do during a growth period, and access to lead users is difficult. So, now is the time to use existing resources to

• Build a bridge between technical and market facing teams to accelerate focus on what is needed to bring the innovation concept(s) forward faster.
• Reach out to the potential market segments who may value your innovation. Now they are in the same boat as you – looking for unspoken needs in their customer base so they can be the preferred supplier.
• Focus your resources on those concepts that have the most promise for faster beta testing before losing leadership attention as the market returns to normal.
• Drive early market testing while equipment is underutilized to enable rapid ramp up as the market comes back.
• Obtain and maintain internal leadership agreement on resource allocation.
• Evolve your strategic plan along the way to adoption.
• Prepare your broader organization for the launch before they are consumed by the dynamics of recession regression.
