How much and for how long? Surviving hard economic times requires the right foundation to support short and long term spending strategies.

To respond to the recession, most organizations have slashed budgets, reduced overhead expenses, right-sized, eliminated travel, bonuses and other “perks”. While necessary to save cash now, these are only temporary measures that do little improve the long-term performance of the organization. But what if the recession isn’t temporary? How will you survive a prolonged downturn? By putting your spend to work for you!
