Doing more in times of less

There may be less people in the team than there used to be.
Or less budget for training, learning, projects or initiatives.
Maybe the long list of ideas for customer solutions can’t be pursued fully now.
It can be disappointing and restricting to have such plans and hopes get paused, stopped or shelved.
These are times of austerity.
Austerity - it means restraint, moderation, frugality.
Governments are doing it, businesses are doing it and families and households are too.
We might be working with budgets we’ve not seen before yet we still have to deliver solutions and outcomes like never before.
This is the austerity wave that covid has brought us.
What will we do?
Get dumped by it?
Get dragged back out to sea?
Or ride that sucker!?
Let’s ride!!
Focus on these 3 ways:
- Think better
- Work smarter
- Connect faster.
These kinds of responses don’t depend on economies.
