Point taken

February 24th, 2009

Thank you, Anne Kirah for your nice piece of personal reflections.

In times of recession, managers tend to do all the wrong things. Doing more of the same that brought us in to these conditions. Doing the same as competitors - cutting off their own legs by cutting back on they´re most valuable assets. Their employees.

Innovative managers look for other and stronger legs to stand on. Breakthroughs.

Innovate your way out of the crisis

January 26th, 2009

In times of recession, it´s important to ask yourself, whose crisis is it, really?
We in TRD strongly believe that it´s in these times one really has to challenge business as usual and start doing things differently. Maybe it´s not as radical as this little video from our friends in Spain suggest, but nevertheless they have a point. Enjoy
