I think companies need to remember that consumers don't stop spending money during a recession - they just start spending smarter. This should fuel innovation - especially in terms of customer service and product quality (aka value). Internally it may also fuel efficiency and organizational redesign to stay ahead of the competition. For any of these things to take place human capital and advantageous work processes are required, thus cutting them out may not be the best idea. Hi Kristen

I completely agree that companies need to stop going for the quick fix and start thinking about long term strategy. They need to start spending smarter as opposed to cutting spending; jobs, social finds, Customer Service, Human Resources, everything. Without happy, productive employees and customers can your business really sustain growth? Hi Kristen,

Great post. I completely agree that companies need to stop going for the quick fix and start thinking about long term strategy.

They need to start spending smarter as opposed to cutting spending; jobs, social finds, Customer Service, Human Resources, everything.

Without happy, productive employees and customers can your business really sustain growth?
