The Post Recession CEO Toolkit

SAN DIEGO (Jun-12-2009)

Many Main Street business owners and CEOs are asking: When will the economic recovery begin? While economic projections tend to fluctuate, the more imperative question may be: What will the new business landscape look like, and what adjustments should you make to gain a competitive edge?

Business is changing and Vistage International, a CEO peer group organization, is helping executives find success in the post-recession landscape with the release of a new white paper, “How to Prepare Your Business for the Recovery.”

As the recovery takes place, businesses will have to make significant changes to adjust to smaller consumer budgets, higher taxation, hyper-globalization, a fast rate of innovation, and a new breed of customers. It’s no longer business as usual.

Companies that want to grow and find success in the face of these pressures will need to make fundamental changes in how they interact with customers, create new efficiencies, pursue innovation, manage their workforce and learn to adjust to rapid changes.

This white paper includes economic projections along with actionable advice for business owners on:

Finding opportunities
Tapping into the U.S. government stimulus plan
Pursuing innovation
Using tactical advertising and marketing
Adjusting to change
Refocusing your business post-recession

With input from numerous experts, the white paper covers 15 areas in which change and adjustments may be necessary to compete.
