Comments on: The Upside of the Downturn Part I: America Gets More Competitive http://brilliont.com/blogs/id/2008/10/12/the-upside-of-the-downturn-part-i-america-gets-more-competitive/ ruminations on how to get your corporate performance up.

This is precisely the time we can expect bad ideas and bad business models to perish. And they should. The fact that bad models survive at all is kind of a sad commentary on what people are willing to pay for. That's another story. Remind me to tell you the one about the Starbucks store that kicked me and 20 friends out immediately after selling us $100 in coffee because they wanted to close their doors and go home. Never again. Smart businesses and business leaders will very strategically incubate some re-engineering and prototyping and they will really study and improve their marketing and sales. This is a time for survival of the fittest. Reward innovation and product development that work!
