I just read this in my e-mail update from the McKinsey Global Survey:
"As a tumultuous year draws to a close, executives are moderately hopeful about their nations’ economies and their companies’ prospects, according to a survey in the field during the second week of December.Just over half of executives continue to say economic conditions are now better than they were in September 2008, and for the first time this year a majority expect customer demand for their companies’ products or services to rise in the near term. In addition, notably more are seeking—and getting—external funding than have done so in more than a year. And after reporting a striking shift in favor of short-term planning early in 2009, executives say their companies are once again able to plan for the medium and long term—but also that they remain wary, assessing more options and checking progress more frequently than they did before the crisis."
I hope this is the beginning of the end of our current recession. This has been a tough one.
It is a good thing to begin to think about the future rather than merely striving to simply exist!We enjoyed our holidays, and have been working on our new vision as well. I just met yesterday with my design partner, and we are beginning to put flesh on the the new direction of this enterprise.
If that weren't enough, we are preparing to launch our new travel/adventure website in the coming weeks as well.
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, blogging here will slow a bit until I have the new site launched.
Stay tuned!
