Panic Response Management
Panic Response Management is, in effect, crisis restructuring. There's nothing wrong with crisis restructuring by itself. However, this restructuring is more apt to occur from the bottom-up versus the top-down. In other words, revenue producing functions or people may be prematurely cut. These people or positions may be, at a minimum, covering their variable expense and contributing to some degree toward fixed costs. This creates a redistribution of fixed expenses which may now jeopardize the profitability of some other segment or division. This can create pressure to close other divisions and business segments or cut deeper into revenue producing functions that are contributing at least a portion to fixed costs, thus creating "The Death Spiral."

Ten Tips on Motivation
Tough times weigh heavy on employees. They know when a company is not performing without seeing the profit and loss statement. The good ones start to abandon ship and seek employment elsewhere. Add restructuring and employee terminations to the formula and keeping your good employees becomes the most life threatening issue you are likely to face during tough economic times. Losing good employees has a high cost associated with it.

Merger Miseries One
Most companies I work with are going through or have recently gone through some sort of restructuring, merger, acquisition, or other major discontinuity. Also, units within organizations are frequently merging and changing structure. I observe incredible stress and anxiety when groups are trying to accomplish these changes. It is common knowledge that the process of assimilating a merger is much longer and more painful than most CEOs recognize going in. I have several observations and theories about why that is and ways to approach the merging of two cultures that might prevent some pain for many organizations. This article is the first in a series.

Merger Miseries Four Do Do Diligence
Due diligence is a process used in mergers and acquisitions to reduce the potential for surprises or miscalculations in purchase price. The process is more of an art than a science. One observation I have made is that there is heavy emphasis on the tangible assets like buildings and inventory. Less emphasis is typically placed on the critical human resources assets. I believe that is a mistake. This article explains why and suggests an alternative.

Merger Miseries 5 Mini Mergers
Every day we read and hear about the mergers or acquisitions going on between the behemoth companies. They show up on the international radar due to their size and impact.

Why Bankruptcy and Financing Does Not Work As The Solution To A Problem
When you don’t fix the core problem, neither bankruptcy nor the provision of fresh money can help, they both just delay the inevitable failure. One of OnSite’s areas of expertise is keeping clients experiencing severe difficulties out of bankruptcy through restructuring and programs to improve (or initiate, in some cases) profitability. We are often asked why we do not agree with bankruptcy and why when a bankruptcy is inevitable; we believe we need time prior to filing to prevent conversion to liquidation?
Outplacement…the Key to Talent Retention?
90% of organisations indicating that they have been negatively impacted by the current economic climate (HDA Outplacement Survey 2009); how have these organisations successfully navigated through these difficult times to ensure that those leaving the organisation are sufficiently supported into their new roles; while also ensuring that the ‘survivors’ remain engaged, motivated and ultimately retained? The majority (80%) offered outplacement support (HDA, 2009)!

One key question for your business is how do you handle the economic slowdown when it comes to your staffing levels? Should you institute a hiring freeze?

‘Stop Selling – Start Helping’ (Quote by Zig Ziglar)
Although, you would all agree that every client should be given special treatment and unique customised service - in today’s economic climate it is becoming harder to achieve. Taking into account funding cuts, budgetary restraints and with job losses at a premium it is less likely that ‘added’ resources can go into top end ‘wooing’ of Clients. Other possible reasons for this include having higher targets to reach in less time, constant restructuring resulting in less staff, more pressure, less resources and so on. The bottom line is that although you can’t resource your client base the way you used to, there are some fundamental and easy ways for you to continue ‘looking after your clients’ that don’t cost you a cent.

RETHINKING THE ORGANIZATION OF THE FUTURE
The future lies in creating and inventing tomorrow. This can mean inventing new and exciting markets, products, services and methods…and an organizational culture capable and driven to take advantage of opportunities as they appear. These new organizations must become acutely sensitive as to who they are, what they are all about, what their culture is and then work hard to adapt to a new flow of ideas.

Alcock Borrows a Page from Gershon?
“In what has been described as the most significant restructuring of public services for a generation, the rest of the $21 billion (in savings) will have to come from overall efficiency gains such as improving the procurement system, and streamlining areas such as information technology and human resources. That’s why the skeptics are skeptical.”
