Crunch, hunch and punch: surviving the downturn and coming out on top

Presenter:  Luis Fuster
Call it “trickle down, trickle up or trickle over,” the current credit crunch has affected nearly everyone and nearly every business across the globe.  Some businesses see this downturn as a pit of despair for which there is little hope of a turnaround in the near future.  For those companies, they might see their only hope for survival in the form of layoffs and job elimination.  This, however, is a time of opportunity.  This is a time when a hunch, a good idea, a gut feeling, can turn into prosperity.  This is a time when companies need their best and brightest actively engaged in redefining the business model for the future that awaits us all. There are choices beyond layoffs.  Creative solutions are out there.
