Managing in a downturn - feeling the squeeze?

At the start of 2008, a downturn in the world’s key economies was identified by a majority of UK CEOs as a substantial threat to business growth. (Source: PwC Global CEO survey)

When a downturn threatens, businesses need to take decisive steps to understand the situation and what it means for their future survival. Planning for a downturn maximises the options available, enabling the best prepared businesses to come through the bad times reenergised and fit for the future.

The reality is that managing in a downturn may be difficult for many of today's young executives, who have built their careers through 17 years of economic growth. Natural attrition will have removed many experienced managers from the corporate scene; however the need to take decisive steps to understand the situation and what it means for their future survival remains.

In a new campaign launched to our clients this month we explore some of the key questions and actions for managing in a downturn.
