Many owners were trading on an idea and the good times, without the energy or skill sets to drive their business. What is unfortunate are those who did everything that they could but a chain of events brought down their business through no direct fault of their own. Worst still are those who blame the recession for their actions which are questionable "at best" and bordering on the illegal. I.e. withholding or delaying payments, unnecessary redundancies or pay cuts, defaulting on agreed contracts and renegotiating after receipt of goods & services. That’s why I renamed my company to PLAN C. Plan Bs tends to be used re-actively. I.e. something’s gone wrong what do we do? Or we want to improve something how do we do it? Plan Cs should use best practice to ensure business continuity & business development. We don't know when external factors such as volcanic ash, agricultural diseases, industrial action or legislation can impact our business both directly and indirectly. Therefore have a Plan B if you need to fix something immediately, but work on Plan C to control momentum and development of your business.
