My career has been dedicated to business development in the commercial furniture and building products industry, domestically and Internationally in manufacturing and Business growth. Assisting companies in the logical path forward with aspects of Sales, logistics, risk management, growth strategizes. The damage of the Pandemic has affected life, economic transparency and the global supply chain with immense costs and time. The extent of this damage is not yet realized, as is the correlation to lingering health issues that the world is collecting on post Covid patients. These affects will be felt for years to come. Corporation solvency for many is in jeopardy, the loss of business cannot be recaptured unless strategic understanding of what to do with fixed assets and human resources is undertaken? Trying to use common market strategies, maybe just a prayer, but today's adverse conditions demand adverse thinking. Consumer confidence and financial stability are vulnerable and unstable more so relating back to the 2008 recession. Banks are offering the lowest interest rates but have pulled back on lending based on the results of the previous default mortgage pandemic. The banks are not always the answer, "When you are looking for a best friend, now is not the time to look for one", M Twain.A lifelong pursuit in manufacturing and business has allowed me strategizes to maneuver an ever changing business climate. External elements affecting every project are unimagined now, and will become the norm in business for some time; a state of reaction. The norms of business we used to know are now the same issues that are hindering success. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but planning and understanding how to maneuver through these times is imperative, they are not short term solutions, but calculated and sometimes costly. New efficient methods are in demand in all business disciplines from finance, sales, distributions, logistics, supply chain, risk management, and manufacturing. With all the trials and tribulations ahead, may I personally wish all business, both private and public the courage and strength to come through this diverse time with conviction and optimism. May these times translate into how your organization in the first step of transition in a post pandemic life bring success and security. Wishing all the best as you captain your companies and navigate the stormy waters ahead to the new structure of business.
