Small Business Survival in Recessionary Times

Mark Healy’s article in the Globe and Mail March 23, 2009 titled What’s your Post Recession Marketing Plan? appropriately discusses the need for small business to consider their strategy coming out of the recession.

Mark does a good job outlining the basic steps to take and I agree with him for the most part. I would suggest, however, that now is not the time for small business to start looking beyond the recession; rather it is critical that their strategy during the recession requires the highest priority and utmost diligence. My fear is that if Small Businesses don’t use the recession as an opportunity to renew themselves during this period they won’t make it out of it.

My blog series Ten BE DiFFERENT Practices to Renew Yout Organization in Recessionary Times outlines practical and proven ways for business to get the most from the economic downturn. The rewards of getting on with the strategic renewal process NOW is that Small Business will not only be able to weather the current storm, they will be positioned to come out of it and prosper. Two blogs in the series have been posted; stay in touch with the entire renewal journey. But don’t wait -  renewal begins now!

Cheers, Roy Osing
