Recessions – there may not be anything we can do to stop them, but we have plenty of choices when it comes to our response.

Inside you’ll discover: the drivers of change during a recession how to adapt to recessionary periods how to exploit growth opportunities and identify disruptive opportunities specific actions you can take to survive a recession. The result is a solid basis for recession-proof strategy that companies can implement to ensure that they survive the tough times.
