INDUSTRY TRENDS
How to Get a Head Start on the Competition
"People are breathing a little easier and optimism is up. Some "experts" tell us, "The worst is behind us." Yet, spending time convincing ourselves that the "cup is half full" is both an irresistible and totally dumb exercise," says John Graham of Graham Communications. "It wastes personal and business resources, doesn't change anything and diverts us from taking positive action. If you're expecting the economic tide to float your boat any time soon, you may be in for a surprise. At least, that's the way Wal-Mart sees it. According to an Associated Press story, the company's chairman says, "I think this recovery will be a slow one." That's why Wal-Mart is on the move. "There is change and opportunity in a crisis," states Chairman Robson Walton. Wal-Mart, HP, GE, Siemens and many others are taking big steps raising their visibility, looking to the future, but also determined to capture more of existing business. Sure, they're huge enterprises, but why not learn from the leaders?"
