In the last couple of months I have been asked repeatedly what I felt the greatest challenge would be for 2009. I believe it will be dealing with the following combination of changes in our new business climate:
1. We all are going to need to produce more with less. That is our businesses are not going to have the resources to allocate that we have had in recent years. We are all going to need to find some efficiency gains.
2. We have a leadership group in many of our businesses (at various levels including, frontline, medium and executive) that have never had to manage under adverse conditions. In fact few would recall the downturns in 1991/2, 1982, 1974.
These I believe are our two greatest challenges for 2009. It is our responsibility to ensure we assist our individuals and organisation not only cope, but thrive in this new climate.
