WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE
MANAGEMENT NEEDS NEW STRATEGY TO PROTECT COMPANY'S ASSETS
Know Your Customers - Or Perish!
Most companies (large and small) don’t know their customers very well. Certainly, some people within the company usually have intimate knowledge of key contacts, information, history, and details about customers, but that information isn’t institutionalized as often as it should be – which means it can leave with your salespeople! Remember, you own this data. To that fact, add this one: The most valuable component of any company’s assets is its customer data. Forget your balance sheet, long-term assets, and short-term assets. Without your customers, and the information regarding those customers, everything else is meaningless. Clearly, some framework of capturing customer data is vital for business success. Capturing and using that data is called “Customer Relationship Management.”

Branding Your Firm At Every Touchpoint
The most important assets of any business are intangible: it’s company name, brands, symbols, slogans, and their underlying associations like perceived quality, awareness, customer base and proprietary assets (e.g., patents, trademarks, etc.). Companies that understand this put significant energy into every detail of their brand and charge enormous premiums for the brands they create. Over time, this premium is transferable to the next owner. A little upfront planning and skillful management can deliver long lasting results.

Should the UK and the Eurozone adopt America’s Chapter 11 format for bankruptcy?
In America, when a company gets into difficulty it can file for what is called Chapter 11 which is named after the U.S. bankruptcy code 11. Chapter 11 is a form of bankruptcy that involves a reorganisation of a company's business affairs and assets and it generally filed by corporations that require time to restructure their debts. In essence, Chapter 11 gives the company a fresh start, subject to the company's fulfillment of the obligations under its plan of reorganisation. Whereas in the UK, for example, a company has to either go into receivership or liquidation. Where a company goes into liquidation the business ceases and the company's directors appoint a liquidator to sell the assets of the company in order to pay off as many of it's creditors as is possible.
