People have started talking about the 'end of the recession', but few seem to have considered what it will really mean.
Will post-recession businesses simply re-employ the staff they laid off and go back to 'business as usual'? Very unlikely! The business world is changing very quickly and a new economic order is taking shape. Companies destined for success will be those with the clearest vision of the future.
As part of our ongoing effort to support our members though the recession, Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce is supporting a Telegraph Business Club and IBM event, The Future Focus, to help medium-sized organisations recognise the new shape of business and set strategies to capitalise on the fundamental changes underway. The event is aimed to senior personnel in Edinburgh, to assist them make inspired strategic decisions to drive business success during economic recovery.
The Future Focus programme involves a series of White Papers on key strategic topics such as travel, communications and business technology. It also includes case studies, features and smart ideas on a dedicated website you can reach by clicking here.
