The business world - as it relates to strategy and human capital.

In This Economy...

Wednesday, April 15, 2009

Over the past couple of weeks, I've travelled from coast to coast working with organizations, and speaking with business leaders about... this economy.

The simple truth is, in October 2008 the world (business world that is) was told that a huge meteor was on a collision course for us and we should all run for cover.

That was then.

Now, almost 8 months later, we're still waiting, for some huge defining moment that will end this thing, and we can move on. Well, I'm getting a sense that things are going to start moving. No, I'm not professing to know something you don't, but I have spoken to a number of people and if nothing else "the natives are getting restless".

So, it's time to pick things up and get back at it, otherwise we'll keep spinning in endless circles, talking about one thing - this economy.
